Meyer of San Francisco, chairman of the Highway Protective Committee, denounced the proposed diversion of more than $17,000,000 of state gasoline funds provided in Propositions and 10, appearing on the ballot at the special election June 27. "The industrial, agricultural and tourist development of California,' he said, "will be greatly retarded unless the voters defeat Propositions and 10. These measures seek to authorize the legislature to take $17,229,076 of highway funds and turn the sum over to the general fund of the state. To do so would to tamper with orderly development of the public road system of California. "In defeating Proposition No. the ballot last November by vote more than California motorists served notice that they will not tolerate such tampering with the state's high program. No. which proposed to divert $480,000 annually from the highway funds to non-road purposes initial effort to raid highway funds and the overwhelming vote against should be conclusive evidence that the electors of the state were and are convinced that false economy is not economy. "The proposed transfer of gasoline funds will not reduce the cost of government one cent. But will many times their value in damage to the highway program and consequently to the best interests of motorists. will throw out of ployment for one year men. Permanent new construction means reduced maintenance costs, lower perating costs, shorter time of travel, shorter routs, better grades and curves. By an orderly procedure, California is getting its roads built out earnings from those who use the roads: gladly pay the gasoline tax for highway work. Those having the interest of the state at heart should hesitate before becoming party to the threatened disintegration of this most successful of public enterprises.

"Vote 'NO' on Propositions and 10 on June 27. Keep the gas tax funds for the people and their highways."
