The commission is in favor of Gre
ating the officer of commissioner OF
public roads. The only question is
in regard to the salary. TIL s feat
ure will be taken up with the gov
ernor. The revenue bill was given
great deal of attention. A direct
tax of one per cent would raise some
thing like 100000 and the commits
on is DESTROYS of seeing this go
through.
The commission will revise the
present road laws. In view OF the
fact that these laws are full of de-
fects, the task is no easy one.
