Heavy Remittanees Increase Funds.

Heavy remittances from county
treasurers coming into the state
treasury since June 1, have added
$4,000 to the general fund balance,
which amounts at the present time to
$432,63s. This Is within $4,000 of the
high point reached in 1915, and as
remittances are still coming, the rec.
ord of that year may be overtopped.
Treasurer w. G. IRE, of Douglas
county, who has been sending his
payments each month since the su-
preme court finally decided that he
must do so, contributes $101,00

The state advisory highway COM
mission is now receiving a large num-
Der of requests from officers of diff
ferent highways asking that the In
sigma and routes be accepted. Quite
number of these Highways prior
to the creation of the commission.
have not been passed upon. 1t is
therefore important that all of these
routes be considered as soon as pos
sible. The purpose is to standardiZe
the insignia used. including the color
scheme, method of marking, etc, and
that the different auto routes be
passed upon officially by the commits
sion. Those who apply first and re-
ceive the favorable decision Of the
commission will be at an advantage.
IL Is not generally known that no
individual or group OF individuals has
the authority to lay out an auto route
in the state and to mark the same.
All these must be passed upon and
receive the sanction of the state high
way commission Once decided upon
the insignia and the route are pro-
tected under the law Of the state.
The members of the state highway
commission stand ready to go over
the routes in which there is any dis.
pute and to examine the showing
made, including maps made by tho
highway associations. DR.. G. f. Con.

had the figures printed In pamphlet
form. making a book Of 80 pages, be-

democratic vote alone in 1916 was a
little larger than the vote cast by all
parties in 1907. The total vote In
