Highway Measure Up to House.

The big piece of highway legislation
at this session is bill 379 S, in the form
of amendments and additions to the
present state trunk highway act. 1t
was reported out unanimously by the
! joint committee on highways, passed
the senate without a dissenting vote,
and is now on the assembly calendar.
1t undoubtedly will be passed by an
overwhelming vote. The bill provides
for the following changes and addi-
tionS:
The state trunk highway system is
to be increased from 5000 to not over
1900 miles. The highway commission
and joint Legislature committee, act-
ing with the commission, will select
the additional mileage after hearings,
| Snow removal remains the duty of
local units, cities, villages and towns,
| except where county boards take over
the work. One change, however, pro-
vides that if the highway commission
is petitiOned by at least 80 persons,
| certifying they would travel a certain
portion of a highway in the pursuit of
IACll VI ul1dI OCCupdCIOlS IL II NSAC
open during the winter, and the high
way commission determines public in
terest demands it, the commission may
direct the county state road and
bridge committee to keep the highway
open.
The bill provides that no advertising
or other signs shall be erected within
public highway, within distance of
1000 feet from the intersection of any
two or more highways. The triangle
bounded by two adjacent intersecting
highways, and 1000 feet back from the
intersection, is declared prohibited
ground for danger-producing signs.
The new bill makes it misdemeanor
to injure, deface or remove any sign,
guide post, mile post or marker erected
by state or municipality for guidance
of the public.
There are several sections covering
bridge and culvert construction, pro-
viding immediate construction where
public safety demands it and immedi-
ate rebuilding when, by flood or other
wise, a bridge or culvert is washed out.

Talk of ResourcefuIness!

He was discussing Australian re-
sourcefulness, and told how an Aus
tralian and his dog were lost in the
bush. They were starving. The man
loved his dog too well to think of kill
ing him for food, not wishing to sur
vive his faithful companion.
At last he had brilliant idea which
would serve to keep them both alive.
He kindled a fire, cut off the dogs
tail, cooked it, ate the meat, and gave
the bone to the dog.

Washington. Nov. 20-WhiIe the
supreme court was hearing argu-

out from the White House that Pres

to set AT rest the ever recurring ru-
mors that the dry" would he lifted

ratification Of the treaty Of Versailles.

treaty at the extraordinary session

fore the constitutional; prohibition

Should such prove the case. the
only possibility of q wet" Christmas
would be for the supreme court to
declare the war time act unconstitu-

cases will be concluded tomorrow but
as the court begins a recess Monday
no decision is expected until it re-
