Bob Higgins Appointment

For several The Chefain is glad to approve
the appointment of Robert II. Higgins maintenance
superintendent of the Colorado highways system. Mr..
Higgins formerly resident of Pueblo county and
s well and favorably known here of high char
acter and good business ability.
Mr. Higgins is also of the of Colorado who
has had experience in the construction and main
enance of roads and president of the Colorado Good
Roads association he represents the whose activ-
ties have developed the public sentiment favor of good
roads that has finally resulted in the present highway
law and the splendid beginning of adequate system
of state highways.
Mr. Higgins has also been prominent in this county
and in the state Democrat and it is good thing
at the time to emphasize the point that the state
road system should not be, and is conducted upon
basis of partisan politics.
1t would be difficult TO find in Colorado any man
better qualified than Mr. Higgins for the position of
maintenance superintendent and the fact that he is
Democrat has given Governor Shoup opportunity TO
set example of non-partisanship that future Demo
cratic governors will do well TO initiate.
