THE HOUSE

Shortly after converting yesterday

vote Of CT to 20 the Norris motion 70
reconsider the vote by which the Cor
don amendment to the automobile bill
was adopted on Thursday. The auto
mobile bill was then passed by q vote
OF a5 to none.
The Gordon amendment, had It
stood. would have placed greater
power in the hands OF the local boards
or Supervisors than IN the Stare High
way Commissioner for the direction
of the expenditure OF the funds arts
ing from automobile license taxes,
which the hilI assigned TO maintenance
Of roads instead Of to road construc-
tjnu The present law provides tho
fund for construction
Colonel Leedy, Of Page. speaking to
the Norris motion for reconsideration
o. the Gordon amendment, declared
24Flug local authorities the right to
decide the manner and method Of
expenditure Of the fund whenever
they DO not agree with the State Com
missioner, would work great harm 70
tho states work for good roads. He
told Of the great progress that has
been made Ia road building in Virginia
since the creation of the State High
way Commission, and pointed out that
the adoption Of the amendment would
create a condition such that would
cause the United States 10 overlook

for roads.
