ROADS BILLS AND OTHER
MEASURES.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, April a..
Arguments were not completed ycster,
day in the Supreme Court in the cases
OF Senator Howard Sutherland, rep,
resenting the State Board Of Trade
to have the vetoes OF Governor Daw.
son set aside as to two Of the good
roads bills Sutherland is represent.
ed by Attorney George E. Price, who
fought the vetoes on the ground tha t
the bills were not returned with the

eral Conley argued that the leg;sla.
ture did not really adjourn until the
morning Of February %, while the
journals show that it adjourned on
the 26th. =.

with those of the Charleston charter
bill on which the veto was set aside
some time ago.
The Supreme Court was petitioned
yesterday for an injunction against tie
ballot commissioners and city coun.
cilmen Of Charleston to prevent the
holding Of the election next Monday

legally passed and that It was vetoed
and that It is unconstitutional. A
dozen instances are pointed out under
the latter charge. chief Of which are
that persons receiving majority vote
may be declared elected to Office, that
a political qualification Is required for
candidates and that the board of af.
fairs are given arbitrary, unreason.
able and despotic powers. The casa
will come up for argument Thursday.

this Is the chief reason why he could
