House Is Divided
Although at least 20 of the 131
house members were at one time IN
favor of the bond issues, according
to friends of the plan, the bill never
got more than "a affirmative votes
on any roll call. The result on this

Asked Only Fair Vote
Friends of the highway program
voiced only one complaint-that no
fair vote on the bond bill was secured
in the House. :.
"No regret or ill-feeling remains,
said C. M. Babcock, state highway
commissioner positive that the
bond plan would mean more good
roads for the same money and that
it should be adopted, friends of the
bill made every effort to clearly pre-
sent the plan to the legislators and
to the public. No pledges or promises
were made to secure support-the
fight was Clean A vote on the merits
of the bill was wished but blocked
by the House rules. Minnesota's good
roads program will go on as planned,
although progress in the next two
years will not be as rapid as if the
bonds were authorized"
Friends of the measure expect to
present it again in the 1925 session.
