The legislature will asked to pass an enabling act authorizing the state highway department to Try out provisions of the contract for the state taking over the present right of way of the D. G. H. and M.

and obtaining and turning over to the company the proposed new right-of-way between Birmingham and Royal Oak. It is authoritatively known that the governor will also recommend to the legislature that it amend the present gasoline tax law by placing in it a new section making failure and refusal of gasoline companies to pay over promptly all gas tax to the state the crime of embezzlement. Gasoline dealers collect this tax of two cents a gallon when the gas is sold. That two cents is collected for the state. it is pointed out.

and never does belong to the company or dealer. Such 1 provision in the gas tax law would obviously give the state a big club to use in collection of that revenue. There has been much trouble experienced by the state in collecting this tax from some concerns and it is proposed to stop that situation. Governor Groesbeck assured Speaker Wells that he will include in his message to the legislature recommendation for a bill making the necessary appropriaing the appointment three spetion for expenses and, authorizcial legislative joint committees to study the criminal laws and procedure of this state and make recommendations for changes to the 1927 legislature.

Then it 15 also believed such a piace would not afford the best atmosphere, for the building up, such an institution. Might Amend Normal Act Should the governor refer the fifth normal school matter back LO this legislature it could do would be either to amend the present law by striking out of it the provision that the selection made by the state board of education must have the approval of the governor. and thus make its selection final, or repeal the law and start all over again. That would mean resumption of efforts which spread over vears gone by to get a new state normal school in the north of the lower peninsula. and which: it was thought was settled by the 1925 act.

As Speaker Wells said Tuesday, "it would mean starting issue all over again. with 15 or 20 offering as many bills of the lesislators, new normal in their That the governor would like to be out of this job of approving a location is the generally accepted conclusion. Nothing official as, to the relocation of the Mt. Pleasant norsomewhere else, or the establishment of two or more new normals in addition to the present ones, has been determined.
