HIGHWAY
BUILDING
Outlook For Good Work Dur
ing the Year is Excellent

Columbia, March 2z.-The state
highway department faces a good
year of work and a. year Of progress.
according to officials. The recent
legislature made appropriations
that will continue the work Of the
department without Gripping and .
while no great enlargement Of the
state program is possible, the ex-
pectation is that more can be ac-
complished than was expected
when tie year began.
The legislature did not. cut the
departments appropriations, except
in few instances, and while the
reductions will cripple the depart
ment's efficiency to slight extent,
the program of highway construc-
ton is possibly in better shape than
it was at the end of 1891.
One new field engineer was af1-
thorized for the department. The
new. engineer has already been Sc
cured. He is Ambrose ..f1artwel1
and viii have his office with the

priation was made for inspectors.
The commission viii depend large
Iy oa county and municipal Off
GERS to enforce the law requiring all
motor vehicles to have licenses.
Heretofore there have been in

nent Of this phase Of the highway
act.

the legislature resigned as chief
engineer. is stiL in the service OF
the department. He has beensask-
ed by the highway commission TO
remain with the department "for
the time being and while no fur
ther announcement is made, 1t is

sion indefinitely. Mr.. MoorefieM
