ed, or in possession of the people of

FINANCE RELIEF
Disposal Of Highway
Squabble To Permit
Assembly Work
Tjmes-Reeorder Bureau,
Kjmball House,


Kimball House.
ATLANTA, July 22.- With the
highway department controversy at
an end, the house Of representatives
is in a position to accomplish the
heavy task of considering a mass of
measures before it, and pay particu-
lar attention to the new lnance leg
islation planned to relieve the state
of its critical financial condition.
Since the assembly first convened,
Representative McMichael, of Ma
rion, and Davis, of Oglethorpe, have
constantly launched attacks on the
highway commission. Time and
again action on other matters has
been delayed while the row on the
department was on at fun blast. With
the compromise bill adopted, how
ever, the highway commission has
gained a distinct victory, while all
counties of the state will be in a po-
stion to receive portion of the auto
mobile license funds. The chief con-
tention of the departments enemies
was that the funds were not distrib-
uted fairly.
Under the new measure, should the
senate pass it, the counties will re-
ceive portions of the money on ba-
sis of state road mileage as surveyed
by department engineers. The com
mission will have the funds placed in.
its hands and will superintend the
division, and also have final authority
in the Location and construction of
highways after holding conferences
with county officials. ~
