SEVERAL GOD ROADS ENTHUSi-
ASTS BELIEVE MR.. MAGGIE
BON ATTEMPTED TO OBSTRUCT
PROGRES.

The action of James Macgibbon, clerk
of thecircuit court, in refusing to sign
warrants to pay the expenses of three
delegates from the Board of County
Commissioners to the meeting of the
State Road Department was briskly
criticised yesterday. The county board
named H. E. Candy, L. w. Hardy and
County Engineer Wheat to officially
represent Escambia county before the
State Road Department. An order for
warrants totalling SIS was passed,
the money to be used for expenses and
any unused surplus to be returned.
When the matter was placed be-
fore Clerk Macgibbon he refused to
sign the warrants. saying that he had
signed enough expense accounts.
Arguing did not cause him to change.
Mr.. Macgibbon's action created con-
siderable stir around the courthouse
and several good roads workers as
serted that he was attempting to OBJ
struct progress. Mr.. Macgibbon. how
ever, asserted that he was legally jus
titled in refusing to sign the warrants
and stood pat.
The delegates from the county
board, together with w. NJ. Henri
der, F. w. Marsh and George j. EN-
manuel, left last night to attend the
meeting of the state board. They will
attempt to gain $4,000 in auto Ii
censes which are due Escambia and
have never been paid. Authority to
build a stretch of concrete road at
or near the Pine Barren. Creek bridge.
The question of the Ferry Pass bridge
will also be settled if possible.
The following resolution, introduced
by Gus Soderlind and seconded by l..
w. Hardy, was adopted:
Whereas, the chamber of COM
merce, the Rotary and Kiwanis clubs,
the Automobile Association, the Good
Roads Association, the Escambia-
Santa Rosa Bridge Association and
other civic bodies of Escambia county
are now working for a bond issue
with which to build concrete or paved
roads on the main highways of Es-
Gambia county in harmony with the
board of county commissioners of Es-
Gambia county.
Whereas, the Board of County Com
| missioners of Escambia county, Flor
! ida, has built and is building a sys-
| tenn of concrete bridges on the main
highways o. this county; and,
| Whereas two of these concrete
| bridges proposed to be built. one
across Pine Barren and one across
Virgins creek on the main county.
/ State Aid road, from Pensacola to
| F'lomaton.
Therefore, be it resolved, that the
! committee from this board appointed
/ to go to Tallahassee to appear before
| the State Road Department, he in
! structed to ask the State Road De-
| partment to apply the money due 70
Escambia county from the automobile
| tax to building a section of concrete
| or paved road on the Pensacola
| Flomaton road; preferably to be build
| on one or both sides of Pine Barren
| Creek bridge, in order that the citf-
| zens of the county may have the ad-
| vantage and use of this concrete or
! paved road: and that this section of
road when built may be an object les
! son to the whole people of the county
! of the advantages of concrete or
! paved roads; and will therefore know
! and understand the kind and charac-
| ter of paved roads this proposed bond
! money will be used to build.

Bismarck, n. D., Aug. 13.-Counsel
for the railroads presenting the car
rlers' case to the state railroad COM
mission for an increase in intrastate
freight and passenger rates. continued
today to introduce in evidence figures
to show that, the state maximum
freight rate law is confiscatory. The
position of counsel for the railroads
stated at the outset/of the hearing,
which opened yesterday, that the COM
mission has ample authority sto in
crease rates commensurate with in
terstate increase has not been ques-
toned during presentation of evil
dence,
Counsel for the railroads hold that
the act Of congress during federal
control declaring that the basis Of
further action by the. state in rates
should be. the rates existing after the
70 per cent increase was granted,
gives the com mission ample authority
to increase freight rates.
1t Is represented that the public
utility law of the state gives the com 9
mission authority to increase paseen-
ger rates.
The Great Northern. 500 Lines and
Milwaukee roads all are far under the
8 per cent earnings suaranteed to

Commissioners Aantiahl and. Nilho1-

Countryman, counsel for the Great
Northern, adduced testimony to the
effect that the road is making but
one and one-half per cent on the val
uation Of the North Dakota property
of the road as figured for the basis
of taxation. The commissioner has
no right to base findings on any less
valuation than that for taxation, he
said
The tax commission may be wrong
and If it is we don't want to make
same a mistake" said c. F. Dupuy,
president. On the value of road based
on original cost tabulated on July 80,
1915, the Great Northern is making
but one and eight-tenths per cent,
according to testimony.
The total reproduction value of the
Great Northern property in the state
