ROAD MONEY WASTED

ID EvISING of the road laws of the
N state and adoption of a business
system in road construction, is recon-
mcnded in a statement issued by En-
gineer Lewis, in which II is claimed
that about $6,OOO,OOO is wasted year.
ly on roads in Oregon.
lie points out that the counties Of
the state are expending in haphas-
ard manner from $4.OOO.0OO to &c.
600, coo annually on approximately
,OOG miles OF road.
This sum of money, he says, Is en-
pended by 1O5 county judges and
commissioners. thir.y-five county sur
veyors. four roadmasters, sc road
Supervisors and the highway commits
sion. and while 'in general these men
are honest, they are disorganized."
Frequent changes in Office, occa-
sional recalls and reorganizations
make it very difficult for the public
to profit by past experience" he con-
tinues. Having only limited powers
and without any substantial policy to
adhere to, these state and county Off
cials are dragged around by interest
ed property owners, enthusiastic cit
izens who have pet projects, or by de-
signing contractors and material men,
and forced to spend public money on
small, disconnected, hastily consider
ed, inadequately financed. unrelated
projects, without regard to the larger
plans of interest to the whole people.
I'VE must have a definite plan
adopted by the legislature defining |
the principal routes for inter-county |
and interstate traffic as state routes"
he says in suggesting remedies.
Whenever section or portion of a !,
state route has been permanently i'm
proved by the state it should there
lfter be taken over and maintained
Is state road at the expense of the
state, the county to care for such az
'oad prior to its becoming state
Dad. The main county roads should
,e built and maintained under the
General direction of the county courts.
'hese roads will serve as feeders to
he main or trunk lines which carry
he concentrated traffic. The local or
district roads should be largely under
district control. Different standards
hould be provided for each class. and
efficient overhead supervision had to
insure that these standards be follow
ID at least on inter-county and inter-
tate routes"
The Pacific highway, he declares,
would be of strategic value in case of
INVASION of the coast, and he calls at
ention to the fact that while it is
bout so per cent complete in Wash
ngton and California. Oregon has
made beginning. The CO.
umbia River highway is an import
mt road. but only partially complet-
d, and the proposed cross-state route
rom Portland across the Cascade
ange up to the John Day Valley
would open great undeveloped sec
ion of the state to auto truck traffic

Hanna remarked that when he on

Young man, you ought to get up to
