Coming from her native Belgium during the World War to lecture in America on her country and it> people, Baronets Silvercruyt, daughter of Belgium's Chief Justice, fell to much in love with the United States that ahe stayed here, with the result that the it today one of the foremost women sculptors in the country She it now Mrs. Suzanne Farnham with a beautiful home in New Haven, Conn., where her father-in-law is a profeasor at Yale University. Since her rite to fame as a sculptor, Mrs. Farnham has had many notable commiaaient, one of which was for a bust of President Hoover for Louvain Univeraity. Mrs. Hoover requested a copy of the butt for the White House, declaring it was the best likeneta of the Chief Executive she had seen. This year, the brilliant young sculptress it more than usually busy, having been commissioned by the Olympics Committee to make statues of the contestants from Yale. Each figure is modeled from life and arrangements ara being made tn award the statues in bronze as Olympic trophies. Mrs. Farnham it also an author, finding time to writo her autobiography, “Suranna of Belgium.'' In politics, too, ahe knows her way about and has hern made e delegate-at-large from Connecticut to the Republican oational convention On top of all this, Mrs. Farnham atill finds time to york on a war memorial, which will ba axhibitad at the Paris SalcpU>« F*!l

MO I (IRISH S PAY MOST OF \ VI ION’S H'GHM AY COSTS Although property taxes are frequently credited with hearing most of the cort of building roads, the real burden is home hy motorists, an accurate survey of road costs shows. At present motorists are paying 91.a per cent of the co.-t of building state highways ami one-fourth the st of building local roads. Altogether mol rists aie paying about two third of the e i-t of building state an I local highway-. In 1930, the last vear for which ’■oirplete figures are btainahle, $1,423,lti4.000 was available for state highway const ruction. But of that! sum $2htj,600,000 w?.- left over from j the pr vious year; federal aid contributed nearly f92,5'III,000; bonds and notes financed by g . line tax money accounted for $22,2HK,00O; miscellaneous irennie brought in $17,000,000 and $00,000,000 was trailsfei red from I cal authorities for state highway coastructi' n. So the actual amount of mont v coming from tax sources is $744,000,000. Of this only *4:U1X,00(1 ca ne from pr perty and $700,911,000 came from gasoline taxe- and

use at the Putnam Countv p?or As-

motor vehicle license fes. This latter tmount is 94.5 per cent of the total fri m tax sources. In addition to paying nearly all of lie costs of state roads, motorists are Isa paying one-fourth of the costs of luihling local road.-. Tax sources in 1930 produced $(55l5,65fi,000 for l eal •nails. Of that motorists paid $162,-

022,000.

For both local and state roads, tax ■ources paid $1,401,884,000. Of that ■um property taxes paid $537,951,000 nd motorists paid $826,933,000, or

ipproximately two-thirds.

It is logical and reasonable that mot rists pay nearly all of the costs if state roads and also fair that they hould contribute in part to the immovement of local roads, say econ nnirt-. At present motorists are pay-1 ng a just share, the figures indicate, j In general one-fourth of the income i fi m g.soline and motor license fees revert to local roads. This is coincidental with the traffic local roads .•any -one-fourth of the nation’s to-

tal is over the local roads.

Road builders point out that local

roads

ml obviously incal communities ihould largely pay for their own ciads. Local road* benefit more than just those who own automobiles. Good transportation is essential to the wellbeing of the entire country. In general motor taxes are as high is good judgment dictates. To further inctease taxes on motorists would be to handicap the most immrtant means of transjiortation to the individual. It is n 'toworthy that nearly all bonds issunl by states are financed by gasoline tax income, and that theie i. a growing tendency on the part of counties to finance bond issues with gasoline tax refunds from the state. Stites and counties have discovered the fallacy of issuing bonds for the construction of road surfaces that will not outla.-t the term of the bonds. When road building fiist was speeded up many communities con dructe l inferior roads which neeile I icplacemirit before the bonds were r tiled. Within recent years, however, the general tendency is to issue bends only f r the construction of (oncrett pavements which last upwards of 20 years.
