Declares for Good Roads

No one can ride over the beautiful and substantial
crete roads that have been constructed in State without
exnerencing feeling of pleasure and wish that the mileage

The Warren Williamson highway
bill aboliShing the office Of State
Highway Engineer, and placing
the work of constructing and
maintaining system Of highways
in the hands Of the state board of
engineers. The bill does away
with the creation Of an expensive
paid highway commission and
creates an Advisory Board COM
posed Of the Governor, Secretary
of State aud Commissioner of Ag-
riculture. This board is to serve
without added pay and will define
the policies of the department and
budget the highway funds to the
board Of engineers who are made

less go to the pockets Of political

The House however made some
history other than by passing

repeating the cattle dip law, by a
vote of 48.41. Advocates of the
repeal OF the "tick" bill secured
a favorable report from the House
agricultural committee on their
measure, but when they tried to
rush it through to third reading
they met a Waterloo. TO make
sure that the bill was beyond res
direction in this section the
"clincher" was put on. The
House defeated also the Connol
bill fixing the minimum capitaJ
stock of State banks at 1928, 900
