Easter of Limestone said that ne
agreed with the sentiments sNpiesSseu.
bS the gentleman from Red river, ou'
ha saw no necessity for pnstponenien';
The session is limited to snort peI l
of time. and his experience was ,iil.
Hills of the benefit character were iios.
likely to pass. His plan was 10 TAKE
nm such hills as all could agree on anu
mass them. and If others come In AFTER
Tord covering q wider scope, there
will be no trouble in passing lhe,n.
But such sbills do not usually
pass. They are ioaueI
down with amendments. anu
the legislature adjourned without pass
inc them. This bill is short, contain
Ing only one proposition, ana IL can Dc
disposed of easier than one covering
the whole ground, As there VIII DE less
confusion. There is no assurance enao
the bill now being considered by ..ie
committee OH roads and bridges Will
pass. ood t,o mn
ton of the gentleman from Keu river,
! He thought il was not made lor inc
purpose of killing the bill, but to save
| 1t. He was in favor OF repeating
article 4,39s, and II an, !.
was the sense OF 'he
house not to allow public ROADS 10 ue
INSTRUCTED by fences, then ne saw no
use i'm perfeuting the law allowing II.
He thought it best to postpone, ana
take up something else, and then II the
nrovisions referred To were not re-
! healed he would favor the meas
ure.
Browning of Wheeler said it seems
that il is sheer nonsense to walt uutii
other bills are presented 70 .esV .ne
sense of the house as TO whether tney
wilI allow third-class roads to be
fenced. 1t seemed To him thal
it could be tested nov
He thought a man "no
would oppose this hill would vote To
reneal the law allowing roads 10 he
fenced. Personally he was opposed lo
fencing i'm roads, but from the pucuilar
: condition of the district he represented
and the number of fences and pastures
there, it would be hardship to refuse
! IN allow them to fence roads running
!, through their pastures. IL Is uhhec
7. essary to do this. 1t would force the
= public to ride through muddy. lanes
! when they can now AVOID IL. he
thought the people of his section
: would oppose thu, repeal OF the law al
lowing third-class roads 10 D,
fenced. He favored coming TO "A te5
a of the sense of the house by vote
now.
E Hazelwood of Dallas said he did no
i believe in fencing third-class roacs
If the house goes ahead and amends
, article 4l2 and then right on the heel!
f. of that repeals the law to which tn
: bill is an amendment, it will be tear
t ing down work already done. ii
l. thought it unnecessary to act ON tn
bill now if there was to be further &C
q ton on the subject.
4 Ayres of Brazos did not see the n'
II cessity Of postponing consideration
!, OF the bill. 1t is true that the con
y mittee on f,nce-cutting IS charge
"a with the solution of most points b'
a. fore this body, but it was not conten
n plated that they should build up
" new system of roads in this state.
it is contemplated that new systel
Il. of roads shall be begun at this session
et all that has been done should
re rubbed out and a ne
to system built up, there would
an disappointment. Amendments are 8
y that can be expected. There alwa.
ht has been and ever will be
in certain amount OF opposition
to the opening OF every 70;
in the absence of reservations of I'll
ed right of way for roads. Texas h
#. heretofore made no such reservation
ed and there is no reason to suppose Il
zee or any ucc.eding legislature W
ri adopt system of all first-class hig
ore ways. He believed the vision of Il
Se legislature would see the necessity
Nc permitting rOaus vi tue lhiTu-tluSS
de be INSTRUCTED only by gates in go
Te condition, which shall be 10 impe
mi ment to travel. He saw no necsssi
lat for postp0nement.
Ire Taylor of Red River said bill
IRE been introduced TO repeal arti

ne. to be fenced, and If it is passed
in, would be wasting time TO pass Il
ny bill He did not think test of

nd this bill. He would vote for it
int less the article allowing roads TO
fenced was repealed. as he belie'
