Indianapolis, Dec. 22. -At an ad
journed meeting of the state road , con
gresa held iu tl) is city yesterday, the re
port of the eOmmittee appointed to
draft a bill and memorial to the corn in if
legiblatnre for a better road system in
Indiana, subaaitted their report which
embraces ' recommendations, substan
tially as -follows:' "'"'
1. The present system of district
supervisors should be abolished.
2. The county commissioners in each
county sbould appoint for a term of
four years, subject ' to removal ' at - the
pleasure of said commissioners, one
county superintendent of , highways
who should be a competent civil engi
neer and who should be ex-officio chair
man of the board of county supervisors
of highways, who should have super
vision of the construction and main
tenance of all public highways in bis
county outside of cities. '
3. The county commissioners in each
county sbould appoint, -subject to re
moval at their discretion, in each town
ship one township supervisor of high
ways, who should-bold-bia-office for a
term of four years; that such township
supervisor of highways sbould have
charge of the construction and main'
tenance of the public highways in his
township outside of cities, subject to
control of the county superintendent of
high-ways.
4. -Once in each year all the town
ship supervisors of highways and civil
engineers of cities in the county and
the county superintendent of highways,
who should constitute the county board
of supervisors of highways, should meet
at the court 'house in their respective
counties to discuss the highway necessi
ties -of their respective townships and
receive instructions from the county
superintendent of highways on the sub'
ject of road improvements: that this
meeting should continue not less than
three nor more than six days : ' that this
board f county supervisors should .fix
the rate of road-fund tax for each town
ship at not less than twenty-five cents
nor more than fifty cents per $100, pro
vided that the common council of any
city ' may levy in. Bucb city such addi
tional tax for street and alley purposes
as they should deem proper.
5. It should be the imperative duty
of each township road supervisor to see
that an indefinite number of miles of
good public roads are constructed in' his
township eaeh year until all of the roads
therein are in a condition acceptable to
the county superintendent of highways.
6. . The moneys collected from the
road-tax levy should be known as a road
fund, and should be expended in the
construction and maintenance of good
public highways ; that the amount col
lected in each township should be ex
pended on the roads of that township,
provided that no part of the amount
collected in any eity should be expended j exception and you may not. But' would
in the improvement, construction or re-! you rather be the exception, or would
pair of any road more than three miles- you rather be well? If you're the ex
distant from the corporate limits of Buch i ception it costs you nothing' you get
city ; without the consent' and approval ! your money back but suppose it cures
of tbe common council of such city ; and you ?
provided further, that 20 per cent of the
road fund collected in any city may be
used in any other township than that in
which such city is situated within said
three-mile limit.
The resolution' also provides that the
county treasurer should have the cus
tody of the road fund, ' except that be
longing to the cities, of which amount
he is to hold 20 per cent. All improve
ments costing over $200 must be let by
contract. It is also made unlawful to
haul any loaded wagon over a public
highway unless the wheels are provided
with three-inch tires. The congress
was formed into a permanent organisa
tion, wlitr-h w'll hold mi) huh I lesions.
-The Bweklig Diiwi., ' 1
Oregonian. . Down with the McKinley j
law! Down with the robber' tariff!!
These were the familiar exclamations of
the recent political campaign. But now i
Mr. Cleveland gives it out that a curb
must be put upon', the .."extreme'' tariff
reformers;" he is of opinion that "it
would be almost suicide for the element
to get control of the house which would
wipe the McKinley bill off the statute
book at one session, and pass a tariff law
on the basis of tariff for revenue only."
There can be no doubt that;, this is Mr.
Cleveland's' position. It accords with
the platform which was drawn -at Chi
cago In conformity with his wishes but
which th .convention, ttudr-4-bj&4-iif
Watterson, refused to -.adrjpt, and for
which . it substituted the.- "doctrine
of tariff for revenue only, while denounc
ing protection aB fraud and robbery, and
unconstitutional besides.-.
The Boy is FonnA.
Elmer Underwood son of P. P. Under
wood of Boyd, came into the city
through the ' storm this morning to in
form Tbi. Chboniclb that the missing
boy, Geo. Crowell, had turned up safely
at the farm of J. B. Havely. lie had
unceremoniously left Mr. Reynolds, and
said nothing to - anybody about it. At
Mr. Havely's he represented that he
came direct from ldano. it is about
eight miles from McReynold's to Have
ly's. across the prairie, and the young
rascal had 'slept in the snow Saturday
nignt in his shirt sleeves, without cover
or protection, . which - is , satisfactory
proof that be must be "tough." We
are glad to learn that he did not perish
and become food for-coyotes, and the
good people of 15-Mile , are deserving of
rich rewards for their sympathetic and
unremitting efforts in his behalf. The
proper place, for a youth of his age, with
such strange habits, is the state reform
school, and that this boy is not there
now, may, perhaps, after all, be attrib
uted to causes assigned in the first men
tion of his disappearance ; that he was
possibly an "escape." ..
