Hope for Good Roads
 He did not know that that plan had been abandoned until he learned that Senate Bin 1S5 had been passed by the house, a most futile proceeding. d sheer waste of time.
 The Roberts bill by which counties could create roadhuilding funds, went by the board early in the night, being decisively defeated in the senate.

 Late in the night the governor sent to the senate the nomination Of Lieu tenant Thomas Maddock as state ensi- neer. vice Fritz Holmquist resigned.
