According to reports from Denver
the state highway commission has
made total appropriation of $3.50, 900
from the funds provided by House
Bill No. 200 among the various coun-
ties OF the state for good roads. Four
thousand miles of public roadways,
costing nearly 100000, are planned
by the commission, the construction
of which will begin this year if the
supreme court decides that the action
of the legislature in setting aside the
money for the proposed improve
ments was legal one, -a,s...
The expenditure of the appropria-
tion on the highways of the state dur
ing 1912 hinges on the determination
by the supreme court of the validity
of House Bill No. 200. which has
been brought into controversy on ac-
count of the omission in the printed
journal of the senate of the aye and
no vote on the final roll call. Approx
imately s750,000 will go into the per-
manent road work in the state II the
bill is declared valid. Not all OF 1t.
