State TO TEST
BEAN-bARRETT
ROAD AID BILL

With 6, view to securing a court inter
probation as to just how far the state
may proceed under the Bean Barrett act
of 1917 i'll meeting federal aid for road
work, the state highway commission this
morning filed with the state board Of
control request for the issuance of en
additional 81 100000 worth of bonds un-
der this act. This amount is 100000 in
excess of the balance remaining of the
81 100000 specifically authorized in the
Bean Barrett act under which 81 100000
in bonds have already been issued to
meet like amount of federal aid
Attorney General George NJ Brown
and j. M Devers, assistant attorney
general assigned to the state highway
department, are both of the opinion that
the act is SO worded as to permit the
state to meet additional federal aid up
to the constitutional limitation of two
per cent of the state s assessed valua-
tion. This limitation, it is figured, will
permit the issuance Of an aggregate o,
$4,000, 900 for highway work. A total
of $17,S0o,000 has already been author
lied by the state Legislature including
the $l,800,0O0 authorized under the
Bean-Barrett act. Under this interpre
-tation of the law there would yet remain
a margin of $2,20O,o0o available fol
meeting road money appropriated by the
federal government.
1t is expected that the state board
of control will take some action on the
request of the highway department ne q
sDecial meeting next Monday. If the
request is refused the highway depart
ment will probably institute mandamu:
proceedings in an effort to compel the
state board of control to grant the re
quest in order to secure an interpreta
tion Of the provisions of the act.

PRESIDENT BETTER
BUT NOT ALLOWED
I TO RESUME TASKS

Washington, Oct. 10 Omitted Press J
Further improvement in President
Wilson s condition was announced by
his physicians at 11:S5 a. m. today.
The official statement said:
sNThe president had another restful
night. His sppetite continued to i'm
prove and he is now taking as much
food and of great variety as we de-
sire.v
This was signed by Drs. Grayson, Ruff
fin and Stitt. DR.. Ruffin did not par.
ticipate in Yesterdays conference and
his reappearanee sinong the presidents i
physicians was surprise.
A phonograph has been put in. the
president Is bedroom and is PLAYED ~
him frequently. Mrs. Wilson also reae
poetry and fiction to him. Wilson laughs
and jests with his physicians and always
has sally ready when they are most
serious. This, they say, aids materially
in his recovery.
DR.. Grayson will probably have sole
charge of the patient within a few days,
as there is no longer any necessity FOR
daily consultations, II was said.
Although Wilson IS condition has
steadily become better dnrine the last
few days, there still IS chance of re-
lapse, such as is common in cases Of
nervous exhaustion. Therefore the ut
most care must be exercised for several
days more, it was stated.
