THE STATUS OF
THE ROAD BILLS

All Of the good roads bills initiated
oy the state grange were lost. The
southern Oregon bills were overwhelm.
ingly defeated. OF the bills proposing
bonding measures for the counties or
through state bonds, the people were
more favorable toward the grange bills.
Two Of the Harmony bills were passed,
Ilat limiting state aid to two per cent
OF The assessed valuation and the bill
making the same limitation on coun-
ties.
With consistent economy the people.
however rejected the bond issuing
measures, yet adopted the debt limit
ing amendments.
II was first thought that the two per
cent limitation amendments obviously
would be useless without the power to
issue bonds, but closer scrutiny of
The acts themselves shows that they
allow the state and county to issue
bonds for road building purposes not to
exceed two per cent of their respective
assessed valuation.
According to the opinion of the su-
preme court in the jackson bonding
case, 1t will be necessary to have the
legislature enact some procedure TO
carry out the terms of the bill
The only other road bill passed was
that providing for the employment of
county prisoners on road work
Under the two percent limit Hood
River counyt could bond for good roads
10 the extent of S240, 595.
