.ELLERY PLANS TO
DISTRICT ROADS
State Engineer Would Improve
System for Repairing the
State Highways
Especial Dispatch to The Call

SACRAMENTO, Nov. 20.-State En-
gineer Nat Ellery is preparing a bill
to Introduce before the next legislature
which will provide for the control of
the work done under the good roads
act. Ellery's idea is to maintain the
roads as soon as they are built, and to
do this effectively he would divide the
roads of the state into districts and
place at the head of each a resident
engineer whose duty it would be to
keep his district in good condition.
Under each resident engineer Ellery
would place ten men, to be assigned to
certain strips. These men could fill up
any small holes in the roads and thus
keep the highways in the best OF con-
dition at all times.
Eillery is also in favor of going into
the open market to buy material for
building the state highways, and favors
the idea of the state acquiring a rock
crushing plant If any attempt is made
to overcharge the state for material.

BURK WOULD ABOLISH
JOURNALS SUBSIDY
Asks Education Board to Cut
Off $4,000 Annually
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

SACRAMENTO. Nov. 20.-A resolu-
tion to abolish the annual subsidy of
$4,000 now enjoyed by the Western
Journal of Education, the official edu
cational paper in the state, was intro
duced before the state board of educa-
tion yesterday by Frederick L. Burk
of the San Francisco normal school
The reason for the proposed action
is because 'it is believed that the
granting of state subsidy for the
maintenance of an educational journal
is wrong in principle, unnecessary and
is undermining the initiative in prac-
tice and engendering evil influences"
The resolution and the proposition of
naming an official organ was postponed
until February.
