Is Decision Of Commission

At q conference held by the highway
commission this morning, following the
hearing Of the controversy between the
Newport Construction company and Su-
pervising Engineer J. +, Elicit yester-
day afternoon, over the charges Of DIS
elimination made against the engineer
by tne company holding the contract
for the construction Of the Hood River
unit Of the Columbia river highway, it
was unanimously decided to retain En-
ginecr Elicit upon the job.
In arriving at this decision the COM
mission recognized the bad effect Of a
precedent which would be established
if the commission dismissed the engi
ncer upon the complaint Of contrac.
tor, and it was the sense Of the com
mission taat, if there were any further
breaches Of good will or complaints
made in connection with the work, that
q disinterested and competent engineer
would be called in to pass upon the
work Of the contractors, and the actions
Of the engineer and the Further action
of the commission would be guided by
his report. No further trouble is an
ticipated, however, aud it is believed
that the work will proceed without
uitch or hindrance,
