counts is Subject of
Conversation.

counts revealing a startling use OF
public funds by the state highway
commission was the main topic OF
conversation among the legislators

a debate on the floor Of the senate

The general expectation is that
Gov. Warren T. McCray, In the face
OF the criticism that has been loos-
ed by the revelations, will demand
the resignation OF L II. Wright, di-
>TectOr OF the commission, and will
replace him with Lawrence Ly-
ons. of Brook. McCray's campaign
manager Mr. Lyons Is republican
chairman OF the Tenth district and
IL is understood that he can have
the place II he so desires There
were other reports that the gov
ernor would demand the scalps Of
the entire commission. But none
OF the republican leaders would
verify these stories.
Plans House Cleaning.
II is generally understood. how
ever. that Gov. McCray will Insist
on a thorough house cleaning IN
the highway department. that he
will pay considerable attention to
it's duties after the legislature is
of his hands.
That he proposes to take things
more or less into his own hands
was indicated Friday when he re-
iterated that a state highway would
go past the Nancy Hanks Lincoln
burial ground in Spencer county.
Air. Wright has insisted that an
other route be taken. but the gov
ernor declared that no matter what
the director said the highway had
been selected and would pass the
burial place OF the emancipator's
mother.
Following the outbreak in the
senate against the highway direc-
tors use OF public funds. Sen.
>&sjdl. OF Lake county. introduced
bin calling for the abolishment
OF the highway commission. He
asks that the money now held by
that department be turned over to
the school fund and that the roads
be placed under the control Of the
various counties.
Against Plan.
Gov. McCray is against such a
move. and repeated that he felt
the fault or the commission could
be attributed 10 defects in admin
intration. The governor declared
that he would personally take a
hand in bringing order out OF
chaos in the department as soon as
he can find time.
