Excessive Overhead Expense.

While in a majority of the districts oxamined accounts and records of the commissioners were found to be in ex- collent condition, unexplained shortages in district accounts have been found and imnroper charges of various kinds, including duplicate payments for the same legal services, payments to law vers for securing federal and state ald and many cases fercessive overhead. Tn some districts important records have been lost, mislaid or carried away and in some cases practically no fiscal records exist except check stubs ana deposit slips. Isolated cases Of almost unaccountable engineering inefflciencs
 are shown to exist and much of the dif' ficulty with the road program m the state is attributed to the poor admins
 tration by the state highway depart ment and the low grade of engineering.

STATE MAY LOSE
 FEDERAL AID
ARKANSAS GIVEN FOUR MONTHS TO REMEDY OBJECTIONABLE
 CONDITIONS.

Washington, D. C., May 7-Unless federal aid projects in Arkansas are put in proper iondition of maintenance in four months the government will re fuse to approve any more projects for road construction in the state accord ing to a statement today issued by the Department of Agriculture
 This action follows report by F. w. James, assistant chief enpineer of on road condition in Arkansas. The inquiry shows that the Government in. terests have been amply protected, and that the accounts and records of most of the commissioners were found in excellent condition The main objec ton is the Arkansas system of road improvement districts, whereby a few are made to pay for general improfe ments, poor administra tion of the State Highway Department, low grade of ell gineering, and lack of efficiency in some districts Until such conditions are corrected there will not be any pro gressive payments of federal aid pro jects either.
 Following the report by Engineer Jamse. the Department of Agriculture notified the Arkansas State Highway Department of its decision and auth or;zed the following statement:

Operation Not Considered.

In his official opinion the attorney general said:
 Tn reply I will say that Section ID of Act No. 494 of 1921, which sthe law that your inquirer desires inter preted, specifically refers to the own CT of acar and it is the opinion of this office that as soon as one becomes the owner of a car intended for use on the highways of this state as provided i'll Section 1 of the act, he has only 10 days in which to procure his license without penalty, or if he owns the car on January l, then he has only until January 10 to procure his license with out penalty.
 If all owner applies for license af- ter the expiration of his 10 days of grace. then the sheriff is required to collect the penalty provided by law, whether the owner has elected to run his rar in the meantime or not
 Mir Utley said yesterday that in his opinion the penalty ahd requirements for license would obtain as long as the era was capable of being run, and that there corld be no evasion. If car owner should remove the engine from his car simply for the phrpose of mak- ing it incapable for locomotion, he still would be liable under the law for the penalties and license fees. If he should sell the engine from the ear, however. it would not then be an auto mobile in the meaning of the law and would not have to be licensed. The entire amount of the penalties will go to the counties in which they are col lected.-GaZette
