FLEMING'S ROAD MEASURE CALLS OUT OPPOSITION County Officials and - Highway Experts May Ask Representatives to Defeat Objectionable Bill.

There is hearty an&'pronounced dis

approval of ' the new t road act intro

duced In state legislature by Senator

Fleming of Portland., among county officials and ' friends ( of W. O. Jones, highway superintendent. This bill does away with the county road superintendent and places supervision of roads in the , hands of a board of turnpike directors. These directors would' be the three county commissioners, the county surveyor and the auditor. ' , The only redeeming feature about the bill, according to opinions expressed by Wayne county people is the fact that it provides the commission

ers a chance to make more money as they are getting little enough now for the amount of responsibility placed on them. Th.ir additional income in Wayne county per year for active supervision . of roads would be $8 apiece. One Man Control Needed. Should . this bill meet with the approval of the lawjnakers and become s. statute, W. O. Jones would automatically drop from the ranks of officials'. It is declared that practically one ftan control of yoads is necessary to accomplish uniform results and get tatlsfacfVon from the tax payers. Then the control wuld resolve down to the county survoyor who already has enough td attend to and would be greatly hampered in this county if

the bill passes. The idea of forming a turnpike

board Is not a new one in this county as the county corntiissioners, suveyor and auditor act as an advisory board to the highway superintendent in all highway matters eicept the actual construction of tho highways themselves. Increases Auditor's Work. The system of road taxation would also provide an additional burden of work for the county auditor and township trustee and addition taxation for the farmer. The road ta.tes would be taken from the hands of the county and placed in the township, apparently a more equitable way to distribute

road expense but not conducive to county uniformiay. It would also relieve the city property owners of road j

tax ana tne tarmers aireany aeciare the city people wear roads as much with automobiles as farmers do with automobiles and wagons. Farmers' organizations and friends of Superintendent Jones are expected to appeal to their legislators to defeat the bill. Mr. Jones is now in Lafayette with a number of 'his assistants attending the meeting of the state superintendents association and the road school which is a part of the Purdue short course.
