SHAFER PROPOSES
REORGANIZATION
OF HIGHWAY BODY
Administration Tenders Bill to
Relieve Governor From Serv-
ing on Commission

Reorganization Of the state high
way department Is provided in q
measure introduced In the North
Dakota senate Tuesday by p. J. Muir
ply, Grafton: F. E. Ployhar, Valley
City; and J. p. Cain, Dickinson.
The bill presented to the senate
yesterday would relieve the governor
from serving as q member Of the
highway commission, but the chief
executive would name the commits
SionerS.
Gov. George F. Shafer said he fav-
ored the bill.
"The state highway department has
become such q large organization
and its business so important that q
three-man commission with . full
time chairman Is necessary to the
proper supervision Of the department.
The governor cannot give to the d.
rection of this department the per-
sonal attention which its Importance
requires" he said.
The present commission is COM
posed of the governor and two part
time commissioners. while the chief
engineer Of the department acts as
secretary, but does not have q vote
in actions Of the commission.
Under the measure, q chief execu-
tive officer would be appointed, to-
gether with two commissioners. The
three would compose the membership
Of the commission, but the executive
officer would devote his full time ia
the performance of his duties.
The executive chairman would re-
ceive 5000 q year, while the other
two members would receive q pei
diem Of $40 for not to exceed ESQ
days in any one year.
The Bonner bill, II and when II
comes in, Is expected to contain some
provisions which will be materially
different from those In the admins
tration bill. Its essence lies in the
fact that all administrative power
and all matters Of policy would be
centralized In the hands Of one man.
Two other members Of the highway
commission would have votes only
In the matter of letting contracts, un-
der Bonzer's plan.
The administration bill adheres Ia
the principle Of dividing authority t.
establish policies among three com.
missioners. The proposed Bonner bill
emphasizes the principle Of putting
one man In full control Of all opera
lions Of the department except thu
