Engineer to Aid County Engineers

Manhattan, Kansas.
July 20, 1909.
Last winter the legislature turned
down bill to create State Highway
Engineer but not because the Mem.
bers were not interested in having
good roads. The original bill con-
tanned some provisions that were not
approved and they were rejected and
some good amendments were added
and the bill passed the House. 1t
contained a clause for licensing all
automobiles, the license fees to 20 to
the support of a Highway Engineer
and his work. In the Senate this was
stricken out and the bill was sent
back to House, authorizing the Board
of Regents Of the Agricultural Col.
'lege to employ a Highway Engineer,
defining his duties etc., but making
no appropriation. The House was
was somewhat displeased because the
automobile license had been taken
out and the bill failed to pass as
amended. The legislature gave to
the Extension Department of the
Agricultural College an appropriation
of s52,5OO for two years and the
Regents decided to elect an expert
engineer who would perform practi-
cally all the duties prescribed in the
law for a State Highway Engineer.
