HIGHWAY LEGISLATION
PLEASED COMMISSIONER
G. II. Scott Expresses Qualification
Because OF Laws Passed by Re-
cent General Assembly.

The state highway commissioner,
C, B. Scott. expressed great gratih-
cation yesterday afternoon at the
legislation recently passed by the gen
eral assembly. He said that the needs
of the department were fully mot
by the lawmakers and everything
was provided for.
The most important piece of legis-
lation was the acceptance on the part
OF tho legislature of the provisions
on the federal aid road act. Together
with the federal aid offered. 1880, 600
has been provided for use by the state
| department. The highway commits
sioner was also authorized to carry
out all necessary plans for the i'm
prOvorpbnt OF the state highway.
The legisla ture also adopted the
state highway chain OF roads, which
will provide a connected set OF roads
through the principal parts of the
state. The work of the department
will be given TO the main arteries of
the state, and small county roads viii
receive laSt attention. The main
roads OF the state. such az the Rich
mond- Washington highway, and the
valley turnpike will receive immediate
attention.
Three thousand FIVE hundred
miles of good roads viii be provided
/, throughout the state, The work on
these roads will be OF a permanent
nature and the best attention will be
Il
roads will interlock one with another
and will form complete get os excel
lent roads under the new plan.
Another piece OF important legisla-
ton was the designation OF automo-
bile and other vehicle licenses for
the upkeep OF these roads. This Will
be an important factor in the con-
troll of the roads.
All the state convict labor Will be
put on the construction OF the new
roads Heretofore about 1900 cor
viots have labored in the building of
the roads, but the new law provides
for the use of the entire convict force
that has been working on the cloth
ing contracts This will not only be
a great help to the roads, but 1t
will mean that the - te is making
use of the men In the prisons.
In commenting on the legislation
passed by the general assembly, Mr..
Scott said: We are pleased with the
action OF the general assembly as .
whole. but we are disappol nted- that
house bill No. 371, providing bet
ter means for the upkeep and regu-
lation OF traffic on the highways, wss
not adopted. We hope that the next
general assembly, will put that into et-
feet"
The success OF the highway lsgls-
lation was due principally to the ac-
tivities of the legislative committee
OF the virginia Good Roads associa-
ton, OF which W. G. Saunders is
chairman. He was assisted by - l.
Lupton, Wade Fl. Massie, Henry
Roberts and r. Fl. Self.

the spirit of the club and had some
ideas and expressed them, with q
spirit which promises progress.
The recent fire in our city suggest

necessity Of having trained volun-
teer fire organization, and tn. presit
dent was asked to appoint commit
tee to wait upon the city council and
to offer the services of the club i'll
any effort they might deem it advis

what Yerington can offer in the way

vantage i'll Lyon County received the
earnest attention of the Club 1t was

mittee consisting of b. ]. Baker,

take up the matter of water storage
