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.
