SEEK CONTRACTOR WHO
WILL BUILD OLD OREGON
ROAD AT COST ESTIMATE
Held Last Chance to Get High
way Built This Season, is
Statement Judge Schannep.

An effort is being made by the
| county court to get contractor to
take the contract for building the rest
of the Old oregon Trail highway al
the figures of the original estimate
Judge 1. NJ. Schannep today.
This is held to be the one chance to
effect the construction of the gap
which now exists in the highway be-
tween Dead Mans Pass and the Union
county line as a result of the refusal
of the state highway commission to
accept the bids offered recently at
Portland. The Warren Construction
Co. was low bidder, but the bid was
more than the engineers estimate.
ITO have the job readvertised
means more delay" Judge Schannep
declared this morning, 80 the court
is attempting to get contractor who
has done a lot of work in Umatilla
county to take the job at the engi-
neer's estimate
A request was made of the highwa'
commission that the Washing
ton highway be extended another four
miles beyond present plans from Pilot
Rock. This would make it possible
for Vinson to be reached this year by
good road, according to Judge
schannep. No definite promise Wfs
secured on the request, but the judge
thinks there is an excellent opportun-
ity to secure the extra four miles.
Those who were in Portland from
here for the meeting were Judge
Schannep, Commissioner f. f. Bean
and G. L. Dunning and Roadmaster
Lee Shannon. The trip was made by
motor. and the officials returned
Thursday evening.
