OVER THREE MILLION DOLLARS A FOOT
• %".•. • •_ •'• ../-.• . The cost of our Federal Interstate Highway System may be boosted again, to the sum of a billion dollars. The Defense •Department is insisting that all bridges built for the system have a 17-foot clearance instead of the present minimum of 14 feet. The extra three feet, it says, are needed to permit passage of future missile-carrying truck beds.
The change, if adopted, will cost about $300 million • and that is only the beginning.The men in the Pentagonwant

It is proposed that this money come out of the special highway trust fund. And where will the additionalmoney for that fund come from? Presumably out of the pockets of Am- erica's motorists, who already are underwriting the bulk of the fund by paying an average of 47 cents in state and federal taxes on every dollar's worth of gasoline they buy.
Several thoughts come to mind regarding this new pro- posal. The first is that the highway fund already is stretched TheEditor Speaks to its breaking point.

Page Eight The CH'EONIOI,E CONSTRUCTION -- With money being so tight, the current trend in residential construction is downward. The mortgage interest rates have been pushed upward by the strong demand throughout our surging economy for money. But the overall picture for the construction industry is bright. In virtually all categories, non- residential construction is expect- ed to increase again in 1960 due to the expanding programs of plant and equipment investment by American industry.
