TURNPIKE RoADs-RE CHARTER.
Mr.. Overstreet's bill 8. 12l to authorize
gravel and other turnpike road companies
TO extend their powers and franchises, was
read the third time,
Mr. SMITH, OF Jay: don't think the bill
ought TO pass These class of roads more
than pay for themselves many times over
before their charters expire. They are gen.
orally operated and owned by but few per.
sons.
Mr.. OVERsTREET: 1 am spprehensive
the Senator and some other Senators do not
understand what this bill is. There is q pro
vision in The law that any toll road may be
purchased where an affirmative vote is had.
This bill provides where the vote Is negative
q majority OF all we're assessed for its build
ing may petition for the renewal o. O char
ter running not to exceed twenty ye1rs, with
a restriction that the tolls shall be one-half
authorized under the original charter. All
we AK is to have our roads kept up. | in.
sist the bill is good one, and ought to be-
come law if it is proposed to keep up gravel
roads ct all.
Mr.. SMITH OF Delaware: 1t seems to me
the argument is not consistent with the OBJ
ject of the bill. It decreases the rates OF toll
so that but few roads could maintain them
N m
counties barely pay with full rate tolls. |
do not think this is a good bill. The bill
proposes an unjust and unwarrantable dis.
elimination against certain class Of roads
and ought not to pas.
The bill failed to pass by yeas 3, nays 81.
