of just such a highway. J* ““ ‘
It won’t be a single strip of road,
however, but will be divided up
into many segments and laid down
ip many American communities.
The goal: 41,000 mile?; of inter-
state freeways in the next 13 years.
That's the scope of the project in-
volved in the 13-billion-doHar road-
building program authorized bv the
Federal-Aid Highway Act of 19f;6.
And, while, the nation’s approxi-
mately .,400,00(1 engineers observe
National Engineers' Week, a goodly
share of them will be preparing to
take an active part in this road*
building program—something that's
easily the biggest construction pro-
ject In history.
■ Try to describe the program and
you run out of superlatives. There's
nothing quite' like it in terms of
' long-range misfntctinn planning.
Take, for example, the statistics,
whicp indicate the quantities of ma-
terials needed for the program.
An estimated 5,200,000 tqns of
steel wilt be used each year. By
the third year. , the roa'dbuilders,
v ijl . need 112 million barrels of
cement. Something like 908,000
traffic signs per year will be set
up. find' about 5 million gallons of
paint will he weeded; It is expect- --------- — - .— ... r,

ers wifi he employed directly on
highway construction at the peak
of the program.
The niagmtude of the planning
. is apparent w hen if is realized that
the phrase “roadbutlding'’ under
the federally sponsored program
really means “superexpressway,
building,’*
Orange County will participate
in thi$ jnamrmvh program at least
in the extent of completion of the
presently unbuilt section of the
U S. 90 freeway across the county.
^ And if the county's taxpaying
voters approve the proposed new
five*mlilion-doilar couhtywide road
bond program it also wilt partici-
pate tvfth the widening of Highway

to the Neches River,

New Road Program Is a Good Deal
One,sn’f the first Actions of.'the campaign committee
bfmR.set np for fne proposed five-rrullion-dollar road
h©nd issue in Orange County no doubt will be to pre-
pare. tn cooperation with Commissioners Court, a pro-
jection of tha debt program in’ terms of it* effect on
taxes, ' \ ~
When this information is given to the*taxpayers it
Viii can\ with it an obligation to make n careful
analysis of the data i e» things in mind:
1. The effect of the proposed road construction on
the county** economy, present and future, r
.2. The prospects that the initial impact of the pro-
^Yam on county .taxes will diminish rapidly through a
normal increase in taxable valuations
: It would'be difficult tn overemphasize the Import-
ahee of either of these items.
Orange Couhtv’ is in the midst of an economic boom
t|at is pushing the average family income higher and
Higher and the over-all standard of living to a peak
tmdreamed of a few years ago
And we have the means for continuing.a steadv in-
crease m both the family incomes arid the standard of
slP-irc throughout our own generation and into the next:
\This extension of the economic blessings of the pres-
ort Into the future depends, however, on our willing-
ness texpax- the relatively small cost of providing the
cemmunrty^facihties necessary to continued industrial
commercial andtresidential development. , .
Most important of these eommunitv facilities is ai

The problem of aafetv on the
interstate highway* Has loomed
large in ail tha en,|i»eenng behind
the program. Engineers feel that

t|tal cost of the new faicmtie*.
In short, for each dollar jpuh into the program bv a
county taxpayer, the state and federal government will*-,
plit up a&out three dollars towahd the cost of facilities
:hat wil^eoablF U* to continue ramng both ouh family
jri^dhies'ana riur standard of living. \
,S And whatever* the number of dollar*, the program
vFill cost the individual taxpayer in the flrst vear. a fast
decline in the annual assessment i6r the proposed new
debt program is assured in the future. «
A study of the county’s finances made last month
m The Lesorr shown tha* its taxable valuation* increas-
eji from S!4 70«fl90*n 1945 to S50.515.0|P in 1956. Almost
If millijn of this gam came during the past five vears.
/^nd a projection of increases of the past into the future
indicates that valuations will go up by at least another
IB TniHuon dollars( during the next five years.
* Thus means that the tax rale required to be levied
ffr the new road binds in the first year can be dropped '
steadily and as H declines the annual cost of the pro-
4-am to the individual taxpayer will go down in pro-
pfcrt i«v,
[ All in all. even though' there nr{U be some co*t at-
tached *o the jjcopoaed new road progbaro it is a good
rial for those who wH| contribufa^to it through taxa-

the federal program engineers
have had to'cooe with the fact that
the country 's truck fleet -ha* dou-
bled in size since 1940. More than
10 million truck* now travel an
estimated 188 billion miles over
our highways each year.
In past .years, the increased size
and weight lo?d of Fie heavv trucks
* contributing factor in the
breaking up of the surface of manv
highways which had been buHt for
much lighter loads. _ /
