GOOD ROAD LAWS
MAY Be AMENDED

SENTIMENT FOR CASH AID

SENTIMENT FOR CASH AID

AS his part in suggestions as to i'm
proving and strengthening the road
laws of the state, Judge Martin VIII
liams, the member of the House OF
Delegates from Bland and Giles, has
prepared a. series of amendments which
lie will introduce and advocate.
Judge Williams would, In the first
place, have the bids on road work to
be separate as to the figures on mason
ry lumber and metal. In this way he
thinks saving might be secured. All
bids, he thinks, should be advertised
In q paper published In the county in
which the work Is to be done. 1T has
been the practice of the State High
way Commission to often have these
advertisement especially In the case
of bridges, appear in publications likely
to be read by contractors. However,
there seems TO be little opposition to
advertising for bids in local papers in
addition
The board of supervisors or the road
board should, believes Judge Williams,
concur in the plans and specifications
which are to be approved by the state
Highway Commission, and should also
concur in all contracts. This is gem
orally done at present. but the mem
Der from Giles would make it man
datory.
Contracts Let at Home.
Finally, his proposition is that all
bids are to be received and opened at
the county seat of the county In which
tho work is to be done. and that the
contracts shall be let at the same place.
AS to road legislation in general. it
is probable that sentiment among the
legislators. is becoming more favorable
to continuance for the present year
of the State cash aid to good roads.
This is easily accounted for by the fact
that their constituents are right be-
hind them in the demand for contin-
ued help from the State treasury for
this purpose. Having had u taste OF
State money in building county roads,
the people who have been directly BEN
cited have no wish to see 1t dlscon-
tinued.
Nothing better illustrates the last
proposition than the many demands for
cash aid for 1910 now on file in the
Office of the state Highway Commits
sioner.
There seems to be little doubt of the
adoption of the program of the Vir-
ginia Good Roads Association, as rec
commended by Governor Swanson in his
message. setting apart one-half of the
franchise tax receipts on steam and
electric railroads for cash aid to bet
ter highways Unfortunately. however,
this would not become available until
1911, while the counties want the
money now to begin work in the
spring.
