sation would be fixed by the board. No amount of salary would be fixed by the bill, leaving it open for the board to pay whatever price it finds necessary to obtain the risht kind of man.

The state highway board and

state hisrhwav engineer would

tute the state highway department. The rnginee-r would have rower to appoint and lis the compensation of all assistant engineers, clerks and other help, subject to the approval of the board. The board would hold meetings whenever it deemed them to be necessary, and all reports to the governor or the general assembly would be made by the board instead of by the engineer. The state highway engineer would

power to call on county road of

ficials for all required information concerning roads and bridges, and such oft Petals would be required to supply such information. Local road officials would be authorized to consult with the engineer in regard to any, road .proposition, thus rendering the services of the engineer available to them in planning and directing their work. The bill contemplates that the highway system of the state shall be outlined in the beginning in a comprehensive manner. The engineer would cause to be made and kept in his office a general highway plan of the state. Each county surveyor or county high-

1 way superintendent would bo required

to prepare and furnish a map showing all of the main highways in the counties, and to designate the highways that are of sufficient importance to be included in a system of state roads, taking into consideration the demands of, traffic and the development of tlie resources of the state. These would be adopted by the state highway board. The engineer would have authority to add to this system of state Toads to meet public demands, but the state road

vtm Is limited to 10 per cent

the total road mileage of the state. The engineer would determine the character and have supervision of all work done under the act. and would prepare all specifications, rlans and estimates. In order to obtain state aid in the improvement of a road, the board of county commissioners would make application to the state board, and it would be up to the state engineer to decide whether the application should be granted. The state highway board also could initiate highway improvement projects where the county commissioners fail or refuse to do so. This would also enable the board to extend a greater amount of aid to poor counties. Work costing less than $2,000 could be done either with or without contract, but all work costing over $2,000 would have to be done by contract, unless no satisfactory hid could be obtained. Rights of way for roads shall be provided by the counties, free of cost to the state. The cost of road construction would be borne 50 per cent by the state and

the county, except where

highway board would reserve a sufficient amount of this fund to support the state highway department and for the maintenance of roads and briee.s rn

I vlously built and comprised in the svs-

tem of state highways, and the balance would be spent for the improvement of public highways in the following manner: A sufficient amount would be set aside to meet the Federal road funds apportioned to the state; the remainder of the fund would be apportioned among the counties in proportion to the assessed value of tilt; property therein.

exclusive of that in cities or towns with a population of 5.000 or more. The state highway board would have authority to work state or county con

victs on the roads when satisfactory arrangements can be made. The state would receive credit for work done by state convicts and each county would get credit for work done by county convicts. County highway superintendents would be appointed by the state highway board, and each county highway superintendent would be required to pass an examination to prove his litnesV for the place. The bill provides that the state of Indiana f-grees to the provision of the Federal act making an appropriation of $73,000,000 for highway improvement throughout the lountry. Unless the state agrees to these provisions it could not participate in the distribution of this fund. The Federal appropriation extends over a period of live years, and the bill would bind the state to a fiveyear rrogram of road improvement that would comrly with the Federal law.

A state highway fund would be created by the levy of a tax of one-fourth of one mill on each dollar of taxable property, which would yield approximately $400,000, and from the net proceeds of motor vehicle license fees, amounting to about $550,000 annually. This would make a state road fund of about $1,040.00 annually. The state

demonstidtors are coin- n

' " "We are planning to manufacture from n. quarter to three-quarters of a million ladders next year." said Frank Ksshom, treasurer and general manager of the company today. "The market is there; all we have to do is to go out after it and onoe we pet the business, we are equipped to take care of it. There is no reason why in time to come wo should not he manufacturing the bulk of the 5,000,000 lad

ders that are annually manufactured in

Oie Vnited States. Our ruthless ladder is just so much superior to the rung ladder that there will eventually he a universal demand for it. It is just as practical for the fireman as for the housewife." Coin? into the history of the com

pany s product, Mr. Esshorn said, that when the patent for the two step ladder was applied for at the patent office at Washinirton. not a single patent was on Hie which came anywhere near the idea which Mr. Ksshom wa? preparing to commercialize. This is all the strangrer when it is seen hosv simple the two step ladder is. The principle of it is as old as the laws of nature. It was simply a matter of adapting- it to a human need. Simple as the rungless ladder is. nothing but the very best quality material soes into the manufacture. In order that there might be a lijtht resilient wood in the construction Oregon fir is used. What metals arc used in connection are light but especially stronK for the work they ar; designed to do. Everything1 is .shaped and framed in the Hammond f-hop on Indiana avenue, machinery being installed for tvery process. Although tho company is capitalized at $150,000 only $112,500 worth of stock has been issued, tho remainder being held in the treasury in event growth and expansion demands a larger working capital.
