Concurrent resolution =. providing SUIT
able quarters for state offices.
Gov Rogers has vetoed II. r. s05. for =
road from Grand Forks, Chehalls county.
TO La Push, Clal.am county. The governor.
In his veto message, says he is informed by
responsible parties that $1,000 would
scarcely pay for survey of this road over
the proposed route. and the expenditure
will therefore be wasted until many times
this amount should be appropriated 20 COM
plete the road. Besides. ii would almost
parallel the Hoqulam-London road. which
might be extended at a comparatively
small expense for building three bridges
and grading the intervening gaps 10 con-
meet with other roads, thus serving the
purpose OF the proposed road. II may be
advisable in future 10 extend the road
from Grand Forks TO La Push. but not
now, in view of the states financial condi-
ton and the showing that other roads In
that vicinity, with small additional ex-
penditures, would serve much better to
meet the present demands.
The governor has also vetoed III. B. es.
providing for a survey or a wagon road
from Montesano TO BTookfield. Wahkia-
KUN county. The governor dlsapproves
this measure because no provision is made
10 follow up the survey with work on the
grade. and the expenditure for survey
would thus remain an unremunerative, I'M
necessary and unwIse investment for an
indefinite period. Furthermore. the sur
vey Of the proposed route is intended as an
extension OF the survey proposed in Fl. b.
s07. which has already been dlsapproved.
II has been iDtimated, upon what seems
good authority, that the remaining road
bills may fare better at the governor
hands.
