State Commission Meets at Madison.


The Wisconsin highway commission,
as named under the law passed re-
Gently by the legislature, met at Madi-
son and organized by the selection of
]. A. Lakewood of Jefferson as presi-
dent and w. o. Hotchkiss of the Wis
consin geological survey as secretary.
The other members of the commission
are John S. Owen of Eau Claire J. H.
F. E. Turneauer of the college of en-
cheering of the university.
The commission discussed informal
ly a general plan and decided that a
board constructive policy, SO far as
the law would permit, should be out
lined and that whatever is done should
follow the best thought of the coun-
try to the end that a comprehensive
plan of redistricting may result. The
commission has taken over the EN-
ployes of the highway division of the
geological survey and they WILL for
the present at least, constitute the
working force of the board.
A. r. Hirst will continue in charge
of roadwork; M. w. Torkelson will
look after bridge construction, and
Miss Bessie Brewer will act as chief
clerk of the new division. The en-
ployment of more engineers to com
plete the work taken over from the
geological survey also was authorized.
Office quarters will soon be arranged
for.
Under the law no state aid is avail.
able until 1912, and so the work which
the new commission can do for the
present, outside the continuation of
that which has been done in the past
by the geological survey, must be
largely anticipatory of the time when
the tax is collected and funds are
available. In fact, the new law is
but an extension, so far as aid is
concerned, of the old system of coun-
ty aid, the state paying one-third
the bills.
However, the commission is given
supervisory powers to see that the
money of the state is wisely expend-
ed, and to assist in solving many of
the engineering and CONSTITUTIONAL
problems that arise. For the present,
towns, cities and villages will be given
assistance in an engineering way as
heretofore.
The commission plans to issue a cir
cular soon to city, village and town Of
ficials explaining the new highway
law and directing them how to pro-
coed to secure state aid when it be-
comes available
