STATE HIGHWAY 1UW OfTOSED COMMISSIONERS AWE AGAINST JOHNSON'S CENTRALIZED AUTHORITY SCHEME. Five hundred highway commission­ ers, representing nearly one thousand townships in the state, attended the state meeting of highway commission­ ers at Decatur last week, at which session they made known their oppo­ sition to the plan of State Highway Commissioner Johnson to centralize the 'road building authority, placing the supervision in his office and mak­ ing it the dispensary of all money col­ lected for road purposes. Spend the money where it is raised, was the decision of the association. Connecting roads and trans-state roads are all right, they said, but it leaves a large per cent of the farmers off on some muddy and neglectod highway while automobile tourists are enjoying the benefits of the road {taxes. They want good roads everywhere and the ideas and suggestions on road building which were interchanged there among the commissioners will help to spend the tax money to better advantage at home. Here are some of the things that the association went on record in resolu­ tions as opposing: Use of convicts on highways. It is all right to have them quarry the stone behind the walls at Joliet, but they didn't want the general public to have to endure the sight of prisoners under military guard with clanking chains doing work that the honest and hard working road builders are doing now. Placing of high salaried college graduates over competent highway commissioners as county overseer. Spending money raised in northern Illinois on southern Illinois roads. Building inter-city roads to the neg­ lect of country roads because it would then open the way to automobile truck owners doing freight business without liability to taxation. Some of the things they want are: The revision of the hard road law so that the commissioners do not have to let the work to contractors if they think they can do it cheaper them­ selves with day labor. Return of automobile tax money paid state to townships in proportion to the amount of road and bridge taxes raised in the town. They insist that the state highway commissioner retain his intended posi­ tion of adviser to township commis­ sioner and not try to usurp all of the authority and push the highway com­ missioners from the towns into the background. The recommendation that the auto­ mobile tax be turned back to the town­ ships will interfere with Senator Barr's bill that was before the legislature at the last session to build roads across the state from Chicago. Barr's plan was to use this money on roads that would benefit the automobile tourists. The convention was entirely har­ monious. No one dared to raise a voice in support of Johnson's proposi­ tion and from" now on he will have to reckon with the commissioners in his attempt to get legislation thru the leg­ islature because the association is go­ ing to do some lobbying. It was decided to hold the next con­ vention in Peoria September 18 and 19, 1912. The dates were set later so as not to interfere with the state fair. Harvey Wood made the principal speech of the opening session of the convention, telling the commissioners about the road and bridge laws of Illi­ nois, pointing out some of the defects and suggesting remedies. Granting franchises to power companies was one of the problems he said, and there was no reason why the highway commis­ sioners in granting a power company a franchise to use the road should not require them to give power and light to the farmers.
