THE COMMIT rs REPORT.
A Heavy Slaughter of Bills In the Lowe
House.

A Heavy Slaughter of Bills I'm the Lower
House.
There was another great slaughter of
bills in the house Thursday.
Mr. Kern's bill to prevent work being
done on roads after Aug. was reported
adversely by Mr. Bowman, chairman OF the
committee on roads. Mr.. Kern, who comes
from Porter, is fighter, and sought to re-
verse the action OF the road committee, but
the members from the southern aud CEN
trail parts of the state were all against the
bill. Mr.. Troy said that in Hancock
county two thirds of the road work was
done after Aug. /. But Mr.. Troy's turn
to fight an adverse report came next.
His bill to prevent supervisors from
squandering road funds came back
with report that il be post
poned indefinitely. Mr.. Troy said
that his bill provided that the super
visor oversee at least fifteen men day.
He knew a supervisor in old Hancock that
"bossed" two men at a time and thus ran
up bill of 500 for overseeing road work.
MIR. Troy was in earnest, but il is seldom
that n committees decision is reversed.
Mr.. Zoercher's bill, TO abolish the SUPER
visor, place the roads under the control
of the trustee. make and repair roads bv
contract, and abolish the system which
allows farmers 10 pay in cash TO the treas
ury, or work out their road tax, met Mr..
Trays bills tate In the Bowman road
committee. The Zoercher bill, il was adj
mitted by menv who opposed II, con-
tanned some good features, but they said
the farmers were too poor now TO pay in
cash their road tax.
