Many of the members voting for
the amendment and those against the
state engineer plan explained their
votes Among them Kennett Of Geary
as follows: There is a good roads and
engineering department being con-
Quoted at public expense in connection
with the state agricultural college and
competent engineers should be sup
Piled to the various counties from this
| institution at little expense,
The bill was finally passed in prac-
| tically its original form.
The good roads bill by Case Of
| Dickinson. providing for state en-
| gineer of highways and county and
/ township engineers came up for con-
/ sfderatfon about $50 Tuesday after
4 noon and II only took about four min
utes to pass an amendment which
| changed the bill considerably In
/ stead of the state engineer having his
! office at Topeka he is changed to the
Agricultural college at Manhattan;
| instead of being appointed by the gov
| ernor he is TO be appointed by the
| board of regents of the State Agricul-
| turaI college
! After getting this far with the bill
the house adjourned. The measure
| came W for further discussion at to-
| days session
| Davis of Bourbon during debate on
! the good roads bill Tuesday, said:
! ''If this state engineers office is worth
zTa nN L71v
/ sas il is worth many hundreds of
! times the amount of his salary that
we are quibbling over at this time"
| Foley Of Rice. leader of the house
minority did splendid work for the
/ administration good roads bill and was
aided by a half dozen Democrats The
{ other Democratic members. for some
/ reason or other Iirred themselves up
cans who had adopted obstruction
/ tactics. The time was i'll chosen to
/ place a block in front of the wagon
| wheels OF all measures in the world
| to block a good roads measure is the
most dangerous in Kansas at this time
/ with the people cIamoring for help
full legislation along this line
| The stone utilities bill has been
sent to Gov. Hadley of Missouri and
| will be used by the young governor
in a conference with his party lead
| ers today in Jefferson City as a basis
for a public utilities law for that
state. Pretty good law when they
/ send for it as a guide for an older
! state
Ryan of Brown will have to rub
| McShane's unimeut on his knee joints
/ to take out the stiffness sure to re-
suit from the mum berless times that
I he arose to speak Tuesday during de-
/ bate on the good roads bill How
4 ever liberal application of this balm
! will put him in good shape for the
/ rest Of the weeks campaign of delay.
