In the lower house of the legislature, Tuesday, Representative Treadway. from Putnam and Owen counties, introduced a bill at the request

j of John H. James, county attorney unfurnished n f Putnam county. It is intended call at 7 j especially to protect the blacktop

roads of the state, and Mr. James, of course, had those of his own county

particularly in mind.

The bill establishes a fine of $5 to $50 for operating a disc harrow or a tractor with lugs or spikes and not equipped with a road rim, on an im-

proved road.

The damages caused by such equipment on roads of this type in Putnam county, especially during the warm season when the surface is soft, are well known. Mr. James discussed the matter with various fanners, before asking Mr. Treadway to sponsor such a bill, and he says they agreed that they could well sacrifice a little of their individual time, in putting on and removing the covers of the wheels, rather than cause permanent injury to roads used by hundreds of people, and paid for from public funds.

Federal funds allocated to Indiana in direct grants or on a matching basis, played an important part in the state highway construction program during the past fiscal year, Janies D. Adams, chairman of the state highway commission, revealed

today.

During that period, when the commission had a total of 309 separate construction contracts in operation, 210 or more than two-thirds of the contracts were financed entirely or in part with federal funds. Only 99 of the contracts were financed entirely with state funds. This construction program included 132 contracts for the constniction of streets, highways, and small drainage structures, and 177 contracts for grade separations and bridges having spans of more than twenty feet. Federal funds made up 32.92 per cent of the total receipts of the state highway commission for the past fis cal year, nearly a third of the entire fund available for construction, op oration and maintenance of Indiana’s 9,000 mile state highway revenue. Receipts from gasoline tax made up 40.35 per cent of the highway revenue, 16 47 came from license fees and the remainder from weight tax and miscellaneous. The importance of increased federal funds in financing Indiana state highway construction is shown by comparison of revenue percentages for the 1931 fiscal yeftr when federal funds formed but 20 per cent of the highway revenue and 75.76 per cent came from gasoline tax and license fees, with 4 per cent from miscellaneous sources. The decrease in the gasoline tax and license fee receipts available for state highway operations came as a result of an act of the general assembly in 1932 when a larger percentage of these funds was distributed to counties, cities and towns.

A ministry of interior statement cailed attention to a court of appeals decree refusing to restore to his welli to-do mother her 15i/, year old only son .taken from her and put in one

of the schools.

The court ruled that the boy lacked energy, discipline, and a sense of comradeship. The mother pleaded vainly that he had the best of physical and moral care, and that the law governing correctional schools had been applied almost entirely to destitute children either unmanageable or morally or physically endangered by their mode of upbringing.
