Senate to Consider Bill n Special

Good roads advocates are hopeful
the Kansas legislature will yet pass
legislation providing state aid FOR

the amendment passed last Novem-

he returned by the states to the
counties where collected. The funds
NAV then be used for roads at the
discretion OF the county commits
sioners.
Declaring that this bill supposedly
proyided n "state aid road fund" In
each county, is in reality but county
aid. Keith Clevenger, secretary OF
the state chamber Of commerce. has
prepared a special bulletin in which
he urges legislators to consider the
action taken by the house early In
the session in adopting the Lambert
son resolution to defer state aid FOR
hard surfaced roads for a period or
two years. 49,.
The bulletin asserts that consti-
tutional amendment was not neces-
sary TO the enactment Of bill No.
900 and that a similar measure
could have been enacted years ago
as well as now. Hence, 1t Is argued
the bill cannot be construed as an
attempt to fulfill the desires Of the
voters as expressed last November.
