The point in favor of such a change was that it was generally believed that none of the federal money can be had until some guarantee is made by the states that the roads will be properly maintain ed when constructed, and that the construction and maprttenance of state and interstate highways will not only enable our own people to go and come from county to county and from state to state, but would be the means of bringing thousands of dollars into the state through tourist, travel. The fact that 80 per cent of the automobile tax could be used in our .fcounfty counterbalanced tne problematical acount of federal mon ey that would be available, so no de finite action was taken at this time. The commercial organizations of the state have been asked for an ex pression of opinion on the repeal of the existing law providing a home stead or exemption in cases where a man takes bankruptcy, and it was un animously agreed that it was the sense of this body that the personal property and homestead exemption should be abolished. The meeting adjourned early so that the individual members could at tend the meeting of city council.
