Good Roads Proposals Headed By Legislature Committee
Seven progressive laws are advanced by the state good roads association and introduced by the joint committee on roads and bridges. They would certify engineers, require certification for county engineers, bar state road work without reports, survey state quarries, cap road speeds at 25 mph, survey extensions to existing roads, and abolish the state road commission with duties transferred to the highway commissioner at a salary of 1000 a year. Senator Polson pushes another bill to raise the state road tax levy amid county opposition to state aid methods.
