New Office Proposed.

The bill to create the office of highway commissioner in each county of the state, to have supervision of roads, which failed to pass the last legislature, is to come before the next general assembly.

The measure is being fostered among Indianapolis people,- more particularly owners of automobiles who are interested in good roads. The bill as proposed will provide for the appointment in each county of a commissioner to be named without regard to political affiliations. He would co-operate with the county and the city officials -in improving country as well as city roadways.

The cost of road improvements, as outlined in a tentative plan, would be paid jointly by the state, county and township, or if part of the roads should lie within a city, the municipality would, be obliged to pay its share of the improvement. Benefits also would be assessed against property owners adjoining the improvements.
