The commission has adopted a policy of replying to th n se communications by saying that Indiana would take her quota, it was saiu, rather frankly specifying particular material. In this manner much unusable equipment is received, but the value of the usable equipment, according to Williams, exceeds that of the equipim-nt which is valueless. DOES NOT EXPLAIN GOVERNMENT rt UPOSE. The statement does not explain why the Government lias seen fit to ship, with the usuable material and equipment, such unusable tilings as bicycles, short-handled spades, telephone wire and balloon cranes. The statement of Mr. Williams follows: “The major portion of ail surplus war materials received by the Indiana highway commission have been requisitioned by the commission. “The memorandum offers received by ! the commission from the bureau of public i roads are Indefinite ancl requests are made j for Indiana’s quota without completa ; knowledge of the kind or condition of the | equipment offered, i THEORY OF MEMBERS | AS TO MATERIALS. “That Indiana may obtain the benefit ! of all that is available, it is the theory of tin: members of ti ls commission that if unserviceable or unreasonable, then : such materials coming to us in such condition should he sold and the proceeds therefrom added to the State highj way fund.
