REMOVAL Of OSBORN
EXPLAINED BY HALL

The removal of William Osborn as
highway district engineer, located at
| Lewiston, was necessary in the re-
organization of the highway depart
ment and not because his services
were unsatisfactory, according to W.
j. Hall, state commissioner of public
works. In fact" Mr.. Hall said, his
services were highly appreciated, y
says the Idaho Statesman.
Mr.. Hall made this statement when
his attention was called to an article
appearing in the Lewiston Tribune of
March IL in which indignation was
expressed over the removal of Mr.
Osborn and the naming of Perry Oxley
of Occur d'Alene as his successor.
In the reorganization following
changes made by the legislature, IL
good men had to be relieved from
the highway department, Mr. Hall
said. Three of these had to be dis
trict engineers and Mr.. Osborn was
named as one of the officials to be
removed.
Lewiston Paper Comments.
Concerning the notification of Mr..
Osborn's dismissal the Tribune says:
This notification from Mr.. Hall
came as a great surprise, Mr.. Osborn
having not the slightest intimation
that his removal from office was con-
sidered, and when the news spread
over the city reaching circles that
had to do with the highway office
during Mr.. Osborn's administration,
great indignation was expressed.
Since assuming charge of this dis
trict, comprising Nez Perez, Latah,
Lewis, Clearwater, and Idaho coun-
ties, more than 100000 has been
expended in road and bridge work
under the direct supervision of Mr..
Osborn, and so far as known not
one complaint has ever been lodged |
against him or any member of his |
force for work performed"

REBUILDING ASTORIA ON
FOUNDATION OF CONCRETE

Astoria-(A P.)-Engineers wrest-
ling with the problem of reconstruct
ing Astoria's business district, which
was wrecked by the fire of December
3, 1922, have decided that instead of
filling in the streets with earth a
better method would be to build con-
crete vfaducts with concrete retain
ing walls at the sides. The city com
mission has given its approval to this
plan and work has begun.
When Astoria was built over the
mud flats along the bank of the Col
umbia river wood piling was used to
support the streets. These street sup
ports served as tunnels for the flames
to spread in all directions and were
responsible for the extent Of the con-
fagration.
One suggestion Of those planning
the rebuilding Of Astoria was to build
retaining walls along the street sides
and fiji IN the streets solidly with
Garth. but the concrete viaduct plan.
. according to its proponents, would
leave space beneath for laying NUM-
