Report of the governor general of the Philippine Islands. [1908]

484 REPORT OF THE PHILIPPINE COMMISSION.
cedula each year, will not be enough, as each year will add to the amount necessary for maintenance and deduct from the amount available for construction
just so much, unless there is an increase each year in the road and bridge fund.

bridge fund, which will give us continually the same amount of construction, the
increase being used for maintenance of the new roads as fast as constructed.
Respectfully,
W. CAMERON FORBES,
Secretary of Commerce and Police.
