made to both the president of the Senate
and the speaker of the House by A.
D. Williams, chief road engineer of
the state and met with the approval
of members of both houses.
It is the purpose of the legislature,
so expressed by advocates of battel
roads to permit this committee to dntf;
from the many grod roads raeaseres
introduced, sufficient statutes to permit
tlio permanent roads improvement
program that has heen planned by the
road department. This program was
delayed when the 191f> legislature
failed to enact Senate F.ill No. 11117 relating
to road building.
A general revision of the present
laws relating to the Issuance of bonds
for rouds ami other Improvements
will he made by ibis committee. It lt>
the purpose to amend and re-enact
statutes so as to require the submission
of all proceedings In connection
with road bond issues to the attorney
general for his approval which shall
he final. Also to provide for the investment
of all public sin I- lag funds of
uuy county, district or munn'pality In
bonds of other counties, districts or
municipalities, thus keeping all public
moneys drawing Interpol.
Senator Hough, of the first district,
has u bill providing for the recodification
of all statutes relating to prison
labor and to amend them so that convicts
serving time iu jails, subject to
being made work on the public roads,
may be required to go into other counties
to perform this labor.
Koud Engineer Williams left last
nlglit for Washington for a conference
with the federal road bureau to arrange
for the tracing of a map showing
all the main roads in the state connecting
the various county scats and
other important centers. This will bo
given to the joint committee to aid in
drawing a comprehensive scheme of
road improvement. Two members of
the federal bureau will be asked to
address the. joint committee soon.
It tvas not tyitil early today, shortly
liefore time for convening the Senate
that the final decision was reached
with reference to the personnel of all
the committees. It was made known
last night that while all the committees
had been arranged that there
was probability of changes in the
chairmanship of any one of four of
them.
