SAT,F.M Or., Vvh. LV-Because of
the nil verso sentiment existing gener
ally njruinst bonding the state nt the
jiresont time for paving, it is believed
Unit .senate bill i'-l'J, nutliurizintf tlie
issuance of not lo tfxccpil $G,l)O0,00U
for hanl-sui faein-r state liiyliwavs
will fail. Iiu-iileiitall.v the fact that
the bill was drafted and introduced
in the lcislatiue at the eleventh hour
is militating against it.
(iovernor Withyrombe is squarely
against the bill, nud legislator after
litislator has expressed his opposi
tion to it. The governor believes that
im further provision for the issuanee
of bonds should bo made than the
Henn-Iiarrett bill. This is an emerg
en ey measure, merely authoiiinLr the
state board f eontrol to issue bonds
to luati'li the federal appropriations
for highway work, provided funds are
not available from other sources, lie
youd this, the enactment of n bill
ereatinj: a non-poliiical highway eom
mission, and a mca-ure inrreasini; the
licenses !' the automobile department.
the governor does not believe the leg
islature ntiullt to pi.
I'mler the bill crealiut; a non-po-
lifieal highway coinniission, it is pro
vided that the funds derived from the
levy of the one-fourth mill tux shall
be ucd to malrli the federal appro
priations, if necessary, and the idea
of a bill im-reasin the automobile li
censes i-. that the funds shall also be
used for tlii- purpose. With tliOM'l
funds ami I he I lean- Ha rrctt enier-;- j
ency -oca-arc the federal appropria
tions ;:iv certain to be met and senti
ment anions legislators seems to be'
that (lie legislature should nol pro- i
ceed i'iirtlier al tills session. The
U.an-liairct t emergency bill wa
lapsed for two reason first, be-'
cause ul the fear that the bill in
creasini: automobile licenses miulit
prove unconstitutional, and second,
to make Mire that in ease of the
shortage of funds fur any reason the
state would be in a position to avail
itself of the federal appropriations.
