LAWMAKERS TO HEAR
PLANS FOR HIGHWAY
Georgia Legislature Will Have Sev
eral Measures For Consideraticn
Providing for System of
Good Roads.
Atlanta, Ga., July 7.—Next to the
Captiol Removal Bill, the jeint ses
sion of the highway committtee of
both houses is the most important
item on the legislative program this
week. Two different plans for the re
organization of the state system of
highways are contemplated by the
two sets of bills covering highways
legislation,
One plan is advanced by the ma
jority of the special ‘commission ap
pointed under the authority of the
last general assembly to investigate
the highway situation in Georgia and
formulate a method for the establish
ment of an efficient highway system.
The other plan is presented by the
‘minority .of this commission. The
majority plan provides for a $50,000,-
000 state bond issue for road con
struction, a period of development
extending over five years and a state
highway bond of three members-one
from north Georgia, one from middle
Georgia and the third from south
Georgia. The minority plan provides
for a state bond issue backed by a
graduated scale of automobile li
ceenses, a highway commission com
pesed of twelve members-one from
each congressional district-and an
immediate clearing away of all con
fliting systems of highway construc
tion. L
The members by Former Senator
tw?alter P. Andrews, providing for a
- $30,000,000 state bond issue, a high
}wuy commissoin of twelve members
’.“"" from each congressional district,
a gradusted scale automobile licenses
':md combining some of the hest fea
| tures of other highway measures, has
'verhays been more widely discussed
than any cther simular measure. This
measure has the endosement of
Judge T. E. Patterson, chairman of
the State Highway Commission, and
4 number of lawmakers of bhoth
houses who have asked that their
names be entered as joint authors of
the bill.
With a view to securing the unit
ad support of all good roads advo
cales, it has been decided to hold a
joint session of the highway (-om-:
mittees of both houses, giving the
supporters of each plan an opportun
ity to present their argumbents and
then combine the best features of hoth
bills in a measure that will be pushod‘
through both houses. The majority
and minority adherents have agreed
to this proceedurc. No definite datc
for the hearing has yet been fixed,
but it is probable that it will be held
is soon as the capital removal hear
ing is out of the way. |
