TATEM SAYS OLD ROAD LAW WAS REPEALED No Law Requiring Adherence to Papulation Area, and Mile- | i age System W It reference to the oft repeat ed belief that the State Highway; and Public Works Commission is | ' hound by the ancient Vule of “popu-1 lation, area and mileage,” in the al- 1 > to;nient ~? road funds, C. Wallace Tateiu of Columbia says this sys tem is m:ij a policy with the Com iiiission, and was abandoned as a! i ;ov, under the administration of j Governor Max Gardner in 1931. \ ‘‘ihe legislature of that year re ipeaied this provision,” Mr. Tatem .says, •“and the Highway Conimis-1 ;*!«» has adopted it as a policy, and | has been adhering to it ever since. | jThe legislature of 1935 incorporat- 1 ■ed within the appropriation to the’ i Highway Commisson a Betterment! | Fund, which was earmarked to ap-i ; ply to ours, and other like sections' jof the state, which had been more j favored in the past. Our relief has . j a!ready been done by the Legisla ture and ignored by the Highway, Commission. They are still dis-j tributing funds according to popu laton, area, and road mileage co.i trary to the mandate of the Legis lature. They are also distributing jthe Betterment Fund on the same (basis, which is a clear cut violation of the legislative mandate. So long , as we are going to perpetuate this state of .mind in our Highway Com . mission, what is the use to ask the legislature to keep on issuing man dates which are ignored? Anyway, we will bring all these things out \ before the election is over.” — _ • “ FAIRFIELD NEWS Mr. and Mrs. Henry Tuten of Washington spent Sunday here.
