THE MICHIGAN DAILY WED~NESDA, ON 23rdHighway Meeting Hears Federal Agent State Highway Department And Engineering College Sponsor Conference (Continued from Page 1) 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 (Continued from Page 1) 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.
