THE MACON REPUBLICAN MACON, MISSOURI, FRIDAY, AUGUST 19, 1927 Digest of the New County Highway Laws -Rules That Will Govern the Commission The following are extracts from some of the new laws governing the organization of the County Highway Commission: It is the duty of the County Highway. Commission to locate, construct and maintain a system of county highways subject to the approval of the State Highway Commission. The County Highway Commission shall be composed of four members, who will serve without compensation. The County Highway Commission may locate, construct and maintain a system of county highways not exceeding in the aggregate 100 miles in any county. The county highways shall connect with the most practical route the centers of population in the county, and afford connection with centers of population such as are not now located on any state highway, as nearly as can be done.

They shall connect with county highways, as near as possible, running through the centers of population of adjoining counties. The purpose of these county systems is to give all parts of the county a connection with the state highway system so that the inhabitants of the" county generally shall enjoy a system of well improved farm-to-market roads. Before the construction of any county highway or the expenditure of any money in excess of the cost of location it shall be the duty of the county highway commission to submit such locations to the state highway commission. When the state highway commission approves the" locations, the county highway commissions shall procure the right-of-way, which is to be of the standard width for secondary highways not less than 60 feet wide and secure title of a court of competent jurisdiction through condemnation. Where condemnation is necessary the proceedings shall be in the name of the County Highway Commission.

All county highways shall be of such type, and upon such grade as to permit of the improvement and building up of such highways from time to time as funds are available to a type equivalent to the secondary highways of the State Highway system, and of such type as to permit 1 ultimat surfacing in the manner and in accordance with the specifications of the State Highway department for the hard-surfacing of 1 the State Highway system. Whenever any county highway constructed under this act shall be over and along the route of any existing highway, it shall be the duty of the county court, or other board or commission, having jurisdiction to convey to the same to the county highway commission, who shall thereafter have control and supervision of such road; whenever such county highway shall be located through any special road district, or in counties under township organization, it shall be the duty of the commissioner of such special road district, or of the treasurer of such township, to pay to the county highway commission such proportion of the total road revenue arising therein as the mileage of said county highway within said special road district, or township, shall bear to the total number of road mileage therein. The county highway commission shall have absolute jurisdiction over all highways constituting a part of the county highway system, and shall hold title in fee to the right-of-way thereof. These roads shall be designated as "County Highways." The county highway commission is authorized to receive and expend any money or property that may be appropriated or donated by any municitriet, township or private individual, cipal corporation, special road and to use whatever means may be necessary in the construction and maintenance of said county highways, including the building of culverts and bridges, for which purposes the county highway commission is authorized to employ such technical and other help as may be necessary for the rying out of this act. It shall be the duty of the county highway commission annually to make a complete report to the county court and to the State Highway Commission, showing the amount of money recieved and how applied.

If any county highway commission fails to make this report, the members shall thereby forfeit their office as such commission. If, and when, the state highway commission is authorized by law so to do, and may so desire, it may take over all or any part of the highways of the county highway system and make refund therefor in such manner as may now or hereafter be provided by law for making refund to the several counties of this. State, and road districts thereof for highways heretofore designated and taken over by state highway department, whereupon it shall be the duty of the county highway commission, by proper deed of conveyance, to transfer to state highway department that part of county highway system so taken over. Those desiring to post up on the county highways in full, can find copies in the office of the clerk. FOR SUPREME JUDGE The many friends of Judge W.

F. Frank of Kirksville, are striving to get him into the race for judge of Division No. 1 of the Supreme Court of the State of Missouri, the place now held by Judge W. Graves. Judge Frank has not yet intimated Kirksville and served two years with what he proposes to do, but his friends confidently believe that they will be able to get him into the race at the proper time.

Judge Frank is eminently qualified for this high position, because of his mature age and long years of ience in the practice of law and on the bench in Missouri. The Judge is a native Missourian, having been born in Schuyler county in 1874. Judge Frank was elected to the Constitutional Convention from distinction in that body. He then appointed assistant attorneygeneral, and resigned after two to accept the appointment of commissioner of the Kansas City Court of Appeals, which position he now holds. the chaotic governmental affairs in 1921, savings deposits in banks and trust companies have increased approximately 100 per cent and accounts in strictly savings banks have increased about 125 per cent in the same period.

Chappell of Macon conducted the service. The wife and a number of other relatives survive.The United Brotherhood of Miners signed up an agreement with the Central Coal Company, the past week at Kansas City. The wage agreement is printed elsewhere. The new brotherhood seems to be gaining strength daily, and it is reported that forty men have joined the brotherhood since the scale was signed, and others applying for membership every day. At the meeting of the United Mine Workers held last Friday night, attended by some of the district officers, the miners were not given any hopes for a settlement.

They were admonished to continue the same policy that has prevailed for the past three and a half years, that of watchful waiting. One thing that prevented many of the miners from going to work in the past was the fear of being called "Scabs" but now they have an independent union, just as much a union organization as any in the country. They have organized to protect themselves from the unjust discrimination that has driven many from their homes, and brought many to the verge of pauperism. They are not trying to take the jobs away from anyone, but simply want the work that rightly and justly belongs to NERVOUSNESS Nervousne Neuralgia Nervous Dyspepsia, Nervous Headache, NERVINE Your ability to think clearly, remember correctly, sleep well and to enjoy life depends on the condition of your nerves.
