The Legislature seems to have
<-aught the spirit of progress rife
throughout the State. The House
of Representatives, in providing
that in the leasing of State corviets
preferenee shall he given to
counties wishing to employ them
upon public works, hua done a
wi>e thing. The Senate, presume
ahlv a wiser hotlv than the House,
will hardly show less wisdom, nnd
wo muv sufely assume that the
l)ill will become a law. Now,
gentlemen, puss the wide-tire hill,
and vou will have taken two very
important steps looking to the improvement
of our public highways.

ate.
