12 THE MORNIXG OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1919. OREGON NEEDS MORE FEDERAL ROAD FUNDS! New Projects to Slow Down During Six-Month Period. BIG BOND ISSUE OPPOSED Estimated Total of $3,000,000 to Be Required to Finish Paving of Pacific Highway. Bo rapidly has the state highway commission developed and carried out its road programme that it has matched the federal money available up to July 1, 1920. This necessitates a slow ing down on new projects for six or seven months, ut does not mean that work will slacken, as enough con tracts have been let and projects approved to keep the road work ac tive beyond the time when new fed eral money will be ready for Oregon. Contracts on federal aid projects under construction now aggregate $8,713,689.49. Of this sum, $4,745,079.- 48 is on postroads and $1,968,610 Is on forest roads. On the post road projects federal aid amounts to $2,110,718.79: county co-operation is $'238,712.98, and state co-operation is $2,395,649.72. On forest road projects the federal money amounte to $882, S22. 83; county co-operation, $165,537. 10, and state co-operation. $940,750.07. Otherwise expressed, to match $2,973, Go'J.62 of federal funds has required $404,250.08 of county money and $,336,399.79 of state funds. Remainder Is 2,(i.'2.Ii)0. Of total federal aid, $5,625,729.95, there has been appropriated to date $2,973,039.62, leaving a remainder to be matched of $2,652,690.33. The state has available a balance in the general fund of $2,917,848.04. and Bean-Barrett bonds amounting approximately to $1,728,316. or a total of $4,646,164, of which $3,336,399 has been pledged, leaving a balance for future co-operation of $1,309,764. Federal funds to be matched are: $2,652,690 for which the state has, a shown, $1,309,764, leaving $1,342,925 to match which will require county funds. East of the Cascade mountains the post road projects receive $2,907,809, as against $1.637, 181 on the west side of the mountains. The Columbia higrhway has as post road money, $696,323, and the Pacific highway, $524,485. Some $3S7.302 has been ap propriated for the Coos Bay-Rose-burg higrhway on the Remote-Camas Valley section: and $39,000 on the Grande Ronde road to Tillamook. ew Money to Be Weeded. The biggest single post road pro ject is the Sarvice Creek-Valades ranch on the John Day highway, for which $728,136 is called. It is becoming more apparent to the commissioners that new money will be required, new money which annot come before the 1921 session of the legislature. It is estimated that $3,000,000 wll! be required to complete the hard surfacing of the Pacific highway and this money will have to come from a bond issue. The commission intends letting no more hard surface contracts other han on the Columbia and Pacific highways until those arteries are inished. There will be stretches of aving. however,, here and there hroughout the state, where contracts fiave already been awarded, but it s the present plan to reserve the Vaving for the two main highways. nstead or hard surfacing, the cora nission desires to provide the other oads with a substantial macadam. vhich will serve until such time in he future as the people of the state tre ready to furnish money to pave hese macadamized sections. Bis Bond Issue Not Wanted. , The movement now being discussed o change the constitution so as to nabie the state to bond itself for 30,000,000 or $40,000,000 for road urposes has not met with the in- lornenient of the commission. -That i few million would come in handy n carrying out the road programme .lready adopted, the commissioners idmit, but they have not brought bemselves to the point of favorina: t tremendous bond issue. Meanwhile the state highway com nission is proceeding with caution, iguring and estimating how far it mti stretch funds in sight. The road programme for active prosecution in 920 will not be formulated bv the xmm!sslon until some time during ne winter, arter the return, of S. ienson, the chairman.

Women's 'Activities LEGISLATIVE chairmen of wom en's organizations had an oppor tunity to confer with the visiting suffragists headed by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt yesierday at the Mult nomah hotel. This morning at 10 o'clock there will be a meeting of delegates from all clubs to determine whether of not Oregon needs a branch of the League for Women Voters. It has been suggested that instead of a definitely organized branch of the league, which itself is not yet firmly founded, that a chairman be named I who shall receive all literature and distribute it throughout the state. Many women contend that even this is not necessary here, but they are going to the meeting to find out Just what is expected and then they will decide.
