UT OF SIXTY BILLS,
TiTOE RELATING TO
HIGHWAYS
PASSED
Legislature Enacted Into Law
; Several Measures ; of Im
' portance in Road Matters
flOAD BOND BILL IS CfilEF
Measures Fart aiulngr to County Admin.
Sstratto of Highways Are of UHle
- Ter Interest M Slmfclet Xethods.
1 ...turlnc the recent session of the leg
islature odd bills relating: to hlsh
"way , traffic , were introduced, and
"abqiit one fdosen of them were enacted
Into laws.
- Chtef among these were the $6,000,
; 000 -road' bond bill, the" reorganization
.. of tne state mgnwav commission u
the Been-fiarret bill, which provides
for the issuance of bonds to the
V amount of 1,000,000 to meet the fed
' oral appropriation during the next five
year for post and forest roads.
: , Of ho .lees interest were several
r measures pertaining to county admin
istration Of highway.
r Included with these is House Bill
3 No. ' Os which provides a simpler
"method, of laying out.- opening, estab
lishing constructing. Improving, main
taining, altering, repairing, widening,
grading, straightening, locating, rclo
- eating, legalizing and vacating county
irond, etc, -n
Couaty Courts Hare mil rower.
Under' the old law, there was much
confusion and conflict. Under the new
law county courts will have full au
thority Over all county roads, and four
I methods Of procedure are provided.
First, by petition of freeholders; sec
'iend, by resolution of the eontv court;
third, by grant of Owners of neceasarv
"'rights "or way, and fourth by condem
Hationrpfoceedings. .
" The, county board or viewers Is to
consist of two freeholders and the
" county ' surveyor. Counties having
road masters may substitute him for
-the couhty surveyor. ; v
Proceeding , by petition theappllcs
. ion must be aigned by 21 or a major
ity of, th fee holder Of the county
. residing in the road district or dis
tricts where the road is to be located.
: relocated, laid out or changed.
' The petition must be accompanied by
J a bond to be executeiby oneor more
' of the petitioners to defray all ex
.renses la case the petition is not
"granted.
' . Tiling Claims for Bamagss.
The board of viewers shall .assess
""and determine damages. Claims for
; Camfif e must be filed with the coun
- ty court prior to the expiration of the
'Bate on which the viewers' report is
1 read the second time. If hot filed then
it shall b .considered that claims for
. any damages have been waived by the
-property owner. Under the old law no
definite time, was fixed for filing
claims for damages.
, After a . road has been established,
i the final survey Is to be made Instead
f before, a at present. The method
. Pf . making this final survey is also
modernised
i,' No final order establishing, altering
' or relocating any road or highway
Shall be set aside or annulled on ac
count of any defect or Irregularity in
ens petition -or resolution.
Htllirt That Are Immaterial.
'T The following irregularities are de-
eiared to be immaterial defects: Er
t rors Of description of intermediate
points when the road can be otherwise
definitely located; errors in posting of
notices where it can be shown that all
persons objecting to the proceedlags
bad actual notice prior to the time of
the first reading of the petition er res
, station, and errors in or omissions of
., jtames of petitioners appearing on the
; notice., where no remonstrance is filed.
b When thefrelocatlon of a road is made
:. It will aufajnatically vacate any por
tion of the old road outside the new
location. This will do away with peti
; lions for vacating roads. .
rv . Use Another Method.
' The second method of procedure that
may bo used is by resolution. The
county court may, without petition, on
t own motion by resolution declare
its. intention to locate, establish, alter J
wldeo, straighten, or change the direc-
Hon of any road, and such notice shall
r bo given as Is provided for upon the
filing of a petition, and like proceed
ings shall be bad In the matter of
.damages, etc, "
If any objections or remonstrances
r shall - be presented, the court, after
bearing the same, may deny them. All
- flamages shall be paid out of. the coun
ty treasury.
V . Counties are also -(given authority to
Invoke the right of eminent domain In
".Condemning necessary property.
' Tor Vacating' Roads. .
-J A5new;method of vacating roads is
- also provided. This can- be done elth
. by petition or by resolution. Under
-'the old' law the only procedure is by
petition.
It also is provided that roads maybe
-legalized when record are lost or de
stroyed. .
w ' Another important bill is House Bill
-619. This measure abolishes after
. January 1,1918, the offices of the road
supervisor, and provides Instead for
; the Appointment o'f county roadmas
ter, who may be cither a practical
road builder or a trained engineer, to
-.be known as county: roadmaster, who
hall work under the direction of the
county court. He shall be eiven as
si t ants, the number to be fixed by the
Bounty court.
Can Divide Counties.
The county courts may, as often as
tbey deem necessary, but not of tener
than ones a year, divide counties Into
' suitable and convenient road districts.
-Upon the petition of IS resident free
- holders, approved by the roadmaster.
, district, improvements may be initiat
ed. A road district meeting can be
Lealled on the petition of three free
holders. " '
All property owners who have resld
ed in the district for SO days previous
are eligible to vote at district meet
ings. The district may vote a special
. tax of not to exceed 40 mills on the
. dollar "on the taxable property of the
districts if approved - by the county
court. - . ' .'
In district work, except In case of
' emergency or the determination by the
county court to use convict labor all
Improvements estimated' by the coun
ty roadmaster to cost 2000 or mors
shall bo let to contract.
The work is to be done under the dl
rection or tno county court and super
vision of the county roadmaster. For
, a general road fund the county court
may 1 levy a tax of not lo exceed. 10

As there etlll are Something like
25,000.000 horses living iln and on the
United States, there Is yet some dis
tance to go before the -World's .haulage
becomes completely motorized," says
A. S. Robinson -of the KisselKar.
Against these millions, ; we now
have but 160.000 mottf- trucks, al
though the truck percentage gain of
each year is so great that tho future
of this branch of automobile manu
facture Is one of the rosiest sureties
among American industries;
Consider for a moment , just the
cost of feeding 25,000,000 horses at
least SI a day per Dobbin;, Twenty
five million dollars sounds like Euro
pean war figures, doesn't it?
"If these horses all worked stead
ily, which of course they do Jnot, each
might haul a half ton io miles, a day,
or in tha aggregate 12,250,000 tons
over 2,500,000,000 : rollesJ ?
"It Is estimated that - 8.800,000
trucks could cover the i same distance
ana naui tne aametonnaga as. tne 25,
OOOiOOO horses. Therefore, if each two
horses were replaced byr a eae-ton mo
tor truck. It would mean 12,500,000
trucks reeling off about 875,000,000
miles each day. Whereas the horses
require $25,000,000 a day to reed, their
haulage equivalent in , trucks- liberally
estimated,, would consume much less
