Proposed Law for Highway Commission Study by Kansas Engineers

A year ago the Kansas Engineer Society appointed Kenyon Ridlic Abilene Advi Sanitit and TL A. Ries to inspect highway laws in several states and report to today’s annual meeting. They propose a law to form a three member highway commission appointed by the governor with one faculty member from the University Engineering School, one from the State Agricultural College, and a third who earns 410 per day, not to exceed 1000 annually for local costs. The commission would manage road laws, provide plans and specifications, supply engineering forces, adopt uniform accounting for road funds, study material suitability, and report findings to county officials. County commissioners must provide requested information. county engineers must sign warrants and oversee road work under the State Highway Commission.
