The foregoing bill has two companion
bills, which will be introduced at the
same time with it. The first provides
for the acceptance by the State of high
ways of the first class, and for the
maintenance of the same, and appro-
PIRATES 100000 for carrying out its
provisions.
The bill provides that whenever five
or more miles of first-class road shall
have been located and constructed in
conformity with the plans and specifi-
cations approved by the Department of
Highways, the Board of Supervisors of
the county in which it is situated may
petition the Department of Highways
to accept and maintain It; and, pro-
vided it is up to the standard, the Stat
ter shall SO certify to the Governor.
and upon his approval it shall be ac-
cepted and maintained thereafter by
the State.
The third of the triumvirate of bills
provides that the County Surveyor hav-
ing charge of the roadwork must be a
licensed land surveyor of the State,
and that he shall establish his qualifi-
cation in modern road construction by
an examination before the State De-
partment of Highways: and that, in
case he fails to pass such an examina-
ton, the Board of Supervisors may en-
gage the services of a skilled surveyor
who has passed the examination.
In relation to the bills mentioned,
one amendatory to Section 2651 of the
Political Code provides that Boards
OF Supervisors must annually set apart

from all sources so per cent. to form a
good road fund.-" to be used for laying
