Good Roads Proposals From State Association Meeting
Four amendments proposed for Minnesota legislation aim to reorganize highway administration. A county surveyor would become appointive, town superintendents of highways would be created, the tax system would shift to money payments, and the highway commission could assume full control of state road work upon county petition. The State Good Roads Association met in St Paul and elected George W. Cooley as president with Ole Peterson as vice president and 5. T. Sherer as secretary and treasurer.
