GOV. DIN SEES 4 NEW LIGHT.
PreparinG for a Change. n Not . Rever.
sal OF Nis High way Commission Policy.

ALBANY. Feb. 5.-Gov. Dix. it was said
tonight by the best authority. has begun
preparations for a change. if not an
actual reversal of his highway commits
sion policy. The documents leading up
to the Governors change were begun
on SATURDAY. and it was said tonight
that within a day or two they may be
made known publicly. The Governor
and his advisers. it was said. now believe
that a change OF policv ia desirable for
the reason that it has been ascertained
that any change in the plans and specifi-
cations made on county roads would Of
necesssity be resubmitted to about forty
boards OF supervisors and any change in
the plans and specifications on the trunk
line OF State roads would have to be
resubmitted also.
The Governor and his advisers believe
that resubmission would bring about
delay in operations. certainly until
April Is and perhaps May is. and by that
time IL would be too late this year to let
anv good roads contracts.
The good roads work for which bids
aggregating over $1,000. 900 were held up
by Gov. DIX last month consequently is
likely to be readvertsed for twenty one
days, it was said tonight. but whether
the contracts will be let by the present
State Highway Commission. comprising
Messrs. Hooker, Allen and Earl. or the
proposed new State Highway Commits
sion embraced in the bill pending in the
Legislature favored by Gov. Dix is the
question to be determined
Tho proposed new commission estab-
lished by the Dix bill will consist of the
Governors personal friend and adviser
state Superintendent of Public Works
Charles +. fireman of Ithaca. State
Engineer John A. Bensel of New York
and State Superintendent of Highways
to be appointed by Gov. Dix. who would
be the executive officer Of the commission
Under the proposed Dix bill all good
roads contracts would be let solely bv
State Superintendent of Public Works
fireman and the activities of the State
Engineer would be confined to the snpi-
neerng problems involved
Assemblvman Friedman was re-
sponsible for the statement Of the Gov
ernor's change of attitude upon this
question and when inquiries were made
about II tonight Gov. Dix said
j am not responsible for what Mr..
Friedman may have to say, have seen
good many persons to-day and went
over with them the whole highway situa-
tion, A great deal Of pressure has been
brought to bear. particularly from up
state upon this matter. Until l have
thoroughly gone into the subject and all

Upon it's arrival it will be taken to the
department repair shops at Fifty-sixth III

ing capacity will he thoroughly tested.
After the pumping test will come the
speed trial which will take place on
Riverside Drive, where the engine will
have to run uphill and downhill, as well
as on level ground to see what time it
can make under various conditions
The Mott Fire Engine Company. the
constructors. guarantee that the engine
can make twenty-five miles an hour in
the city streets. The company gave the
machine IA tes' in Minneapolis and got
forty miles an hour out Of it,
The difference between this machine
and the automobile fire engines that have
been in service for twenty years or more
in different parts of the country il that
this one is driven by gasoleno but is
equipped with steam nump The COM
bnation Of steam and gasoene has never
been tried in service. the fire experts say.
This piece of apparatus is said to be the
first of it's kind in this country or Europe.
The machine weighs $4,000 pounds and
the motor engine is Of 100 horse power
II is Of the three cylinder type. the long
stroke being especially designed All of
the machinery Is built on special designs.
The transmission and other gears are cut
from solid block chrome nickel steel
The gasolene tank ia of twenty-five
gallons capacity. The pumping capacity
Of the apparatus is 700 gallons of water a
minute. The makers guarantee the

for two years
The principal advantage over the
horse drawn apparatus is quickness in

economy in maintenance. Three horses

A horse 10 kept in the department an

opinion that the new engine should pay for

saving in maintenance.
