but no contractor availed himself OF
this privilege.
Covered Worst Portion
The contracts for grading covered
the worst sections on the Columbia
river and Pacific highways and when
they are finished these two main high
ways will be practically graded, the
Pacific highway from Portland to the
California boundary and the Columbia
river highway from Hood River to the
Pacific ocean. BY the end of the com
ing season it is expected to have the
grade of the Columbia river highway
finished between Hood River and The
Dalles. Location surveys are now be-
ing made and in a short time bids will
be called for, for what will probably
be the most important construction of
the year, the gap between Hood Riv-
er and Mosier which will probably be
in the neighborhood of $4,000 per
mile for five miles.
1t is also planned to lay 10 mil sec
tions Of pavement on the Pacific high
wav in Lane, Linn, Marion, Benton
and Polk counties
From present Indications, however,
it is unwise to predict much road work |
beyond the completion of pending con-
tracts. The labor situation is no more
promising than that of the year Just
passed and besides the question of fl
1ances will enter largely. Under the
aw the commission has authority to is
sue bonds to the amount of So, 900 900. +
Will Not Attempt Sale
The bonds only draw per cent in
crest and it looks as though they can
rot be sold at a premium or even at
iar shcnld the war continue. 1t is
doubtful if the highway commission
will brave public sentiment by selling
he bonds at a discount as was done
II 1917. I,
From the quarter of q mill tax tho
cmmission will have about $230,000
nd from the motor vehicle license
ees approximately 100000.
1t is quite probable that the commits !
ion will do some paving work with its /
wn plant. Tho pa~~ment asphaltic !
