Friday, February 28, 1938 KCR8HAW REPRESENTATIVE COAUTHOR OF MEASURE PAS8EO V HOUSE The Highway- Reorganization Bill offered by Representatives, 8ol Biatt, of Barnwell; J. D. Pons* of Greenville; aud -Murdoch M. Johnson, of Kershaw comity, paaaed the Ho one by a large vote this week. 77 This bill provides for a complete reorganization of the highway department, with a new commission consisting of fourteen members, one from each of the fourteen Judicial Circuit* pf the state. It provides that the term of office, of the commissioner* Shall be four years and that they shall rotate between -the couuties' of the circuit. The commissioners will be elected by the legislative delegations of the circuits. They will druw lots to ascertain which county will receive the commissioner first, and 111 circuits where there ure more than two couuties the remaining counties will draw lots the next time, and so on do<wn the line. Tills circuit is composed of Richland and Kershaw counties only, and if the bill passes the Senate and becomes a law It will mean that! Kershuw county will have the commissioner half of the time. Representative Johnson has boon ipuch interested In the highway reorganiza* tion measure and especially in assuring that Kershaw county would have representation on the commission. This it has never had before. Tbla measure uffords the only means whereby this county would have representation. He states that he has at all times' been in favor of a complete reorganization of the highway department, but has never favored a six member commission us with a six member board Kershaw county would be forever denied representation. The bill further provides for a substantial reduction in the price of license plates, graduated in accordance with the weight and sfce of the automobiles. The authors of the bill have favored a reduction of the license plates but did not fool that the owners of the smaller automobiles should he required to pay as much for their license plates as the owners of the larger cars. There were nine reorganization hills before the House, but when Messrs. Hlatt. I'oag and Johnson brought forward their bills the authors of all the other hills asked to bo allowed to withdraw their bills uud to Join In this hill. The hill has met with universal favor and It iB expected that It will pass the Senate without material amendments. The bill If enacted Into law will not beeoino effective until the courts have passed upon the present contests In the courts over the highway commission. It Is understood that tho present board could not be legislated out of office so long as those suits are ponding. It is expected. however, that thoBe actions will be terminated within a short while and tho now Commission will be elected and will take office immediately thereafter. The Commission to he established under the provisions of this act will elect a Chief Highway Commissioner.
