Road Statute Construed.

The supreme court recently decided
a case Of statewide interest, involving
the validity of a law, the State ex rel
Salter VS.. Board of Supervisors Of Boil
war County. The particular law in.
volyed was chapter 1863 of 1916, pro.
viding additional methods of working
public roads in counties and for the
creation of road districts.
The fight on the law was brought on
by a clause which, as the court holds.
takes the control Of roads, ferries and
bridges away from the board of super
visors and vests the authority in road
commissioners. This act %contravenes
section ITO of the constitution, with.
out adequate authority, which invali.
dates the whole law. 1t is held that
the legislature cannot, by enactment
of a statute law, nullify or suspend any
provision of the constitution and the
right of control of roads by boards Of
supervisors is vested in them, by the
constitution.
