Since recognition was agreed upon a

a material change for the better has
taken place in Mexico, that railroad
and telegraph lines are being rapidly
repaired and that conditions are fast
becoming normal in many places.
Thousands of troops hitherto under

OF peace and reconstruction, the sue

RESOLUTION.
To the Honorable Chairman and Mem
bers of the Board of Supervisors of
KeaoshG County.
Gentlemen:
1OuI YdpDO1HLCu LlAO
25th of last February to draft reso-
luton as to repeal of the State High
way law, respectfully submit the fol-
lowing:
Whereas, We believe that the pres
ent State Aid Highway Law as car
ried out under the State Highway Com
mission, is extravagant and wholly I'M
necessary, that the money now spent to
maintain this commission had much
better be expended in the actual con-
struction of highways, in as much as
the townships pay one-third, the coun-
ty one-third, making two-thirds of all
moneys expended. Yet no work can be
executed under the present law unless
the State Highway Commission consent
thereto, which destroys all local con-
troll of all roads put upon the State
Highway System.
We believe that the present State
Highway Law should be repealed, and
law enacted placing the construction
