cent increase in the past four years'
revenues, the state highway depart-
ment has available only some $600,-
000 for right-of-way, planning, sur-
veying, inspection and emergency ex-
penses during the year, Russell A. An-
derson, director of finance for the
department, explained in a paper
given before the Conference.
The state's committments for
county road upkeep, Federal aid
matching, sinking fund payments,
municipal street improvement and
trunk-line maintenance require by
far the lion's share of the highway
department's income, Mr. Anderson
pointed out. For the future, he as-
serted, additional revenues must be
found to protect the highway system
of the state.
Taxpayers Upheld
In the third address of the session
Pierre Schon, transportation engineer
for the General Motors truck and
coach division, presented the tax-
payers' side of the problem of high-s
way finance.
Mushroom growth of taxes on li-
censes and gasoline, as well as sales
taxes, has caused great expensesto the
motorist, and, through the trucker, to;
the consumer in general, Mr. Schon
declared. Adding injustice to injury,
many state legislatures have divertedy
large amounts of automobile taxl
funds to purposes other than road
maintenance and improvement, he
continued. To consequent inadequacy]
of up-keep and betterment of the¢
roads, Mr. Schon suggested, many au-i
tomobile accidents may be attributed.c
Speak Today On Finances t
The Conference today will recon-
vene at 9:30 a.m. in the Union under
the chairmanship of Murray D. Van
Wagoner, state highway commission-
er. A talk on the "Financial Needs
of the State Highway," which was
not presented as scheduled yesterday
afternoon because of his unavoidable
absence, will be given. by Mr. Van
Wagoner. This afternoon two ses-
sions, one on traffic control and the
other on highway engineering, will be
conducted; the former in the Union
and the latter in Room 348, West En-
gineering Building.

Prof. Bromage
Says Manager
Plan A Success
Edward VIII's Abdication
Has Many Repercussions
In Irish Relations

chosen by the Local Appointments
Commission, a central body which
interviews and discusses applicants
for positions and then makes its
recommendations to the various cor-
poration councils, which must abide'
by the selections of the commission,
he added.
Opposition In Small Towns
"Opposition to the city manager
system in Ireland," ProfessornBrb-
mage said, "has been the result of
village pump politics in small local
areas, the type of small town polit-
ical wrangling that is often witnessed
in county affairs in this country."
Professor Bromage, who was on
sabbatical leave last seemster, said
that he witnessed many interesting
things in the Irish Free State at
the time of Edward VIII's abdication.
"De Valera took the opportunity
afforded by the abdication of the king
to renounce the legal fictions binding
Ireland internally with Great Britain
by passing the constitutional amend-
ment of Dec. 11, stripping the British
governor-general of his functions, in-
cluding the necessity of his signature
on any statute passed by the Dail Ei-
reann," Professor Bromage said.
Statute Amends Constitution
The Irish constitution can be
amended in Ireland by an ordinary
statute, Professor Bromage explained;
and the one passed at the time of
the king's abdication went through
the legislative mill in seven and a half
hours.
The day after this constitutional
amendment was passed, Professor
Bromnage continued, a measure was
enacted which recognized the Brit-
ish crown as a symbol of their co-
operation with the other members of
the British commonwealth, thereby
showing that whereas the Irish Free
State considered herself free to reg-
ulate her internal affairs, she still
wanted her dominion status under
Great Britain.
