Two Systems Provided.

Governor Dix goes into the legislative
history Of highway improvement and
points out that Republican Legislature
provided for separate state and county
systems Of highways. and made II impos-
sible TO complete either OF the systems
within the limits Of the authorized indebt-
edness for highway improvement. He
adds:
The state system Of highways was es.
Sentially q trunk system, and the cues
ton was, Should this trunk line system
be scattered a little stretch in each
county of the state, thus rendering
worse than useless the main thorough
fares of the state. or should those
patches Of highway already constructed
bc connected and, so far as possible, be
made OF real value TO the public at
large?
The Legislature answered this. the
Governor says, by expedt ting the New
York 10 Buffalo road by an appropria-
ton Of 100000. This was the first So
called expedited bill" and the Gov
eTnor declares IL was the wisest, mos;
economic and most advantageous way
out o. the highway situation, which had
become complicated by the grating OF
the state on the county system. Gov.
ernor Dix continues:
The appropriation OF 81, 600, 900 for the
constructor. Of the New York TO Buffalo
road, above mentioned, was safeguarded
by a provision 60 the effect that nc
county In which roads are improved un-
der this chapter shall participate in the
annual distribution Of funds for the i'm
prov ement Of state routes, until Such
time as the counties not participating ~
the fund provided by this hapter shall
have received such amount Of improve
Inent as will eQualize the mileage"
That one Of the expedited bills
passed by the Legislature OF 81. which
seems 10 be considered as the most OBJ
accusations In this matter (the so-called
Dix Emerson Trombly bib, was safe
guarded by the additional provi ion tina {
I'm case the state roads provided for In
this Oil exceed in mileage, I'm and for
any county herein mentioned. the equita-
bic portion 10 which said county is or
may be legally entitled. then only so
much mileage in said county shall be
improved or INSTRUCTED as hall be the
rair ond equitable portion OF said route
TO which said county is entitled: with
etill further and most specific provisions
for safeguarding the rights Of other
sake.
The records show that the average vote
in favor of twenty-five expedited bills"
was l2i for and ] against In the Assem-
BY, with II for and ! against in the
Senate.

Criticises Earl.

The only inference 10 be drawn from
the publication by Commissioner Earl OF
my private letter TO him Of 1910 is that
was guilty OF participation In what is
called the raid on the highway fund"
Perhaps this former public official Of
manifestly tender sensibilities and elevat-
ed conscience will now explain why, in
reply TO my letter embodying Such an
improper request on my part, he replied
10 me under date OF August 2, and again
August 2. 1910: II am personally very
much interested In seeing a road built
from MCKeever TO White Lake. Every
lover OF the Adirondacks in Herkimer
County seems to be of the same mind
This road will form part Of a state route
and Is located in Oneida County. The
commission has the right TO say where
the state routes In each Of the counties
shaH be built each year. | will do
everything IN my power TO further the
building Of a road from McKeever to
White Lake. ! think that you can count
on everybody In Herkimer County to do
what they can In the matter.
/ believe, without any question, that you
can count on both my associates on the
commission to be In favor of the con-
stru"tio' + this road A"
Nine months after my correspondence
with Commlss oner Earl the Legislature
OF 1911 passed an expedited biz provid-
ing for the construction of state high
way from q point near Ctica To the Her
kimer County line, which route included
the section from White Lake To Mo
Keeyer, which had been authorized by
the Legislature of 1907, as above stated
The vote on this bill was 1872 In favor, 2

GU, Of the mass of accusation which
has been levelled at the present admins
tration in connection with the manage
ment q the Highway Department ana
the methods which have obtained In car
rying out the constitutional provision Tor
the Improvement Of state highways, there
are two propositions which desire BRIEF
ly e answer at this time.
Firsi.-It Is charged that through the
method OF the so-called expedited
routes the people have been defrauded
of their intent that the authorized eX'
perdture OF City millions in highway
Improvement should proceed under an
equitable apportionment Of such eX-
penoiture on account OF the various

I'm procuring diversion or state high
way money for the construction OF q
road or roads through his own private
property, and with a view 10 his own
personal benefit.
While there are otn charges which
are more or less specific in their fOrmu-
latiCn, those which / have mentioned are,
as FAR as i have been able 70 gather, the
basis Of the general accusation of i'm
proper and ineffective management of the
state Highway Department during the
past two years
The duty OF familiarity with details OF
administration IN the Highway Depart
uent rests upon the Superintendent OF
Highways. II II IS q fact that the various
charges OF acknowledgement and wrong

true, and are substantated under proper

signed 20 increase the value and conFeh-
lent use OF his own property ls, TO my
mind. the most serious accusation when
has been made-it only FOR the reason
that, as far as am aware, II IL the ohly
insinuation which any enc has ever seen
fit 10 make I'm regard to the personal IN
tegrity OF the Executive. This accusation
Is based upon the fact That in July, lslV,
before / became Governor or had been
considered for such office, ! wrote 10
Highway Commissioner Earl asking nm
TO consider favOrably the plan OF lettlns
the contract on the state route from NC
Keeyer TO White Lake, and u having the
route from McKeeVer TO the Fulton Chain
completed as soon as possible. The facts
in regard to this incident are as follows:

time mentlC ned. that l would Ike MIS- CO.
operation IN AN attempt to have these
sections Of the state highway. already de-
lineated and authorized built forthwith
but my letter 70 Commissioner Earl, as
published In a New York newspaper, was
not in the precise language quoted.
In the published letter | am made TO

without the slightest reference TO the
so-calied "Skene maps" Previously 20
