iirSt onslaught. The issue was not
directly one involving tn. life Of the
commission Dut il was contcndcd that
the passage of tho proposed bin would
make the first break and this would
probably be followed by other leaks.
The whole idea involved is. according,
to the opponents Of tho bill. whether
the sttac should undertake the dcv-
elopment Of n State highway system
or at this time give official recognition
to the county rs II unit. Under the
present statute the expenditure Of the
two-mil1 property tax and 80 per cent
OF the license tax must be expended il
tho county where raised upon such
main roads as the highway commis-
sion destGnates ss part Oe the county y
% county or national system
For some reason Fairfield end other
CO mites have not ns yet undertaken
work upon such designated roads
along the lines of the requirement OF
the State Commission. The result il
that the fund derived in those coun.
ties from the two mill and license tax
are held intact ana naturally the par
ticular counties insist upon the right
TO spend the fund In the counties
where raised and in their own way.
The present law remains by the vote
