GRAVEL ROADS.
Mr. Ristine's bill [S. 54]j to amend Section 7 of the gravel road law of March 3, 1877, in relation to assessments and outstanding bonds, [see these reports page 80,] was read the third time.
MR. RISTINE said the only change was in reducing the rate of interest from 7 to 6 per cent., increasing the amount of outstanding bonds from $50,000 to $100,000. An emergency clause is added for the reason that the limit of $50,000 in many Counties has been reached, having roads uncompleted for want of funds.
The bill passed by-yeas 32, nays 2.
