Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Oct. 14.—Albert

State Highway Commission a
general state highway act to be
presented to the legislature for
adoption. The act will divide
the department into various sub
departments. One of these will
nave cnarge or tne material, or
rock crushing department, and
another will be for the engin
eers, while a third will be for
educational work in road build
ing- Mr. Walls drew the act
under which the roads in Lon
oke county are being construct
ed, which is the first road act to
hold before the supreme court.
Attorney Walls will also draw
a special act creating a district

Little Rock. He will look to the
representatives from counties a
long the route of this road for
suggestions pertaining to its
provisions. It is agreed that the
act will have provisions attach
ed for reference to the voters of
the district.
No effort will be made to cre
ate a district for a road from
Texarkana to Little Rock, or
Little Rock to Memphis, at the
next legislature. The Little
Rock-Memphis road will be
passed because a good portion of
this work is now being done un
