FRANKFORT, KY, Ian. %, 1912
Senator Joe F. Bosworth, Of Mid
dlesboro, is making the greatest
record in the Senate this year Of any
member in it, and the prospects are
good for him to get through certain
good roads measures which will
greatly benefit the people OF East
ern Kentucky. The Good Roads
Bills which were put in Senator Bos-
worth's hands were the second
measures introduced in the Legisla-
ture at this session. and il he does
not get them passed it will not be
his fault. Senator Bosworth was
paid the compliment of being made
the chairman Of the Senate Commit
tee on Public Ways and Internal
improvements which is by far the
most important committee for the
people of Eastern Kentucky at this
session. Being a Republican and so
greatly IN the minority, there is no
man in the State who could have
been able to have secured such fine
committee appointments as Senator
Bosworth, for he is not only chair
man of the Public Highways and
Internal Improvements Committee
but he is also a member of the Com
mittee on Redistricting the Judicial
Districts, Mines and Mining, and
Agriculture and State Fair. In fact,
he has the best committee assign
ments of my Senator here.

ganization, but there are now pend

ing before the Legislature two bills
of vast Importance to every section
OF the State and all citizens interest
ed in improving the condition under
which our roads and bridges are
constructed and maintained, should
give some attention to them and
lend their influence in every possible
way to have these measures passed
and become operative.
The pending bills provides for a
State Highway Commissioner of
Public Roads who shall be a compe-
tent Civil Engineer, and will. acting
under the Department of Agricul-
ture, have charge Of the construc-
ton OF all raads built snder the pro-
visions of State aid.
Provisions are made for raising a
State toad Fund to be used in
granting aid to counties who spends
money not procured from the sale
of bonds, in building or repairing
permanent roads.
The State aid is for the purpose
of influencing counties to build more
and better roads by paying one
third OF the cost of roads from a
general tax levied upon the assessed
property OF the State. BY this
method counties not expanding
money to build roads will receive no
aid from the State, but counties
taking advantage of the State aid
will be assisted to the amount of
oue-third of the money they expend
in constructing or reconstructing
roads. Under this arrangement all
counties paw into the State Road
Fund and must build roads or loose
their part OF the State Road Fund.
The whole scheme of State aid is de.
signed to make every county not
having good roads already, get into
the read building business, and
make all counties now having good
roads put the proper amount of
money into first class maintenance.
The office Of County Highway eu-
gineer is provided for and modern
and systematic methods OF hand
ling work is mapped out in detail.
The design Of that portion of the
bill which deals with county admin
istratiou seems to be designed to Sc
cure better, closer and more scien-
.tifjc method OF constructing and
maintaining roads by county au-
thorites and at the same time leave
