PHOENIX. Jan. THE political
kaleidoscope was given another turn
at the capitol this morning. and
looking through the official eye piece,
the public sees the department OF the
state engineer new under control OF
the commission on state institutions.
The turn was made by Attorney
General Wiley +. Jones. who hand
Cd the commission his official opinion
that the oversight and general CON
troll of the system of state highways
come under the authority of the com
mission The attorney bases his
finding upon his Interpretation of the
session laws Of Arizona, creating the
commission on state institutions. The
immediate peg on which he hangs his
opinion is that section OF the law
which abolishes the old board of con
troll He says, Il am rnquestiona
bly, OF the opinion that
ycur commission succeeds to all the
duties and powers III the board Of
control as 10 state highways -
This means that no state highway
CT bridge as q part of such highway
can be built withort the sanction g.

II means further. that if the comsis-
SIGN wishes TO build a state highway

only ord" the -,a:c engineer % u
such work The state engineer, i'll

the commission on state institotions.
The opinion Of the attorney genera.
was a bombshell in the Office of the
state engineer and Lamar Cobb who
holds The Office. declares that he will
take the matter to the courts
Il think the attorney general is
wrong in his Interpretation Of the
laws" said Mr. Cobb at his Office this
morning,
