ROADS AND HIGHWAYS
On motion by Mr. VOYLES, the House amendments to the road and Supervisor's bill [S. 8] was taken up.
Mr. SAYRE thought it incompetent to give due consideration to the many amendments proposed to this bill at this time, There is an amendment proposed to Section 20 which should not be concurred in. There are some twenty-eight Townships in one of his Counties, and it would make a difference of over $20,000 in the State, which would go as extra compensation to County Auditors, and be taken from the taxpayers of the State.
Mr. VOYLES said the amendment to Section 20 strikes out all in relation to the County Auditor.
Mr. SAYRE insisted that he is right on this question. The Auditor should perform this duty under the salary now provided by law.
