Among the bills killed was the Fifield bill amending the county unit road law and which, among other things, increased from 50 to 250 the number of signatures needed for a petition for a road under the county unit law, and required that at least 25 signatures be obtained from each township in the county.

It' will be effective, however, with 1921-1922 teachers, and increases the pay approximately 30 per cent, making the minimum salary 3800.
