THE NEW GOOD ROADS BILL
Donald Act, Passed in Senate and
Favored by Governor. Meets with
Resistance in the Assembly.

Madison.-The assembly commit
tee on highways has introduced a
substitute to the senate bill on good
roads. The senate bill, by Senator
Donald, has passed the upper house,
but it did not meet the approval Of
the assembly committee.
The assembly substitute provides
for a commission of three unpaid
members to administer yearly ap-
preparation of $4,000 to be dis
tributed among the towns which levy
a tax for road improvements.
The state aid is not to be granted
to towns unless they levy a tax of
at least half a mill This town tax
must also be duplicated by money
grant by the county.
