cited the fact that the daily average

Walter s. Bogeley showed that ade

ARCHER CASE
Abolishing of Road
Districts Plan

AUSTIN, Texas. March l3.-A con
stitutional amendment abolishing all
road districts providing for the state
TO assume maintenance and con-
struction OF all designated highways,
and the assumption cf outstanding
Indebtedness against road districts,
IN offered ~ 4 solution To the Archer
county bond case by Former General
w. A. Keeling.
The suggestion was made at the
request Of State Senator Walter c
Woodward of Coleman, following the
refusal Monday of the United States
supreme court to grant a motion for
rehearing on the 100000 district
road bond case, which affects be-
tween S75,000,000 and 100000 900.
Keeling said that under the large
scale Of constructing highways now
there is no need for small taxing
road districts.
Road districts are manifestly un-
just for the reason that persons
whose property is situated in the
districts pay very much more taxes
for the benefit Of roads than persons
whose property Il situated out OF
the district" he wrote.
