The measure is Intend ed to head off a resolution call ing for investigation of the pub lic welfare commission. Highway Board Backed Legislative activities reached top speed wilh a vote of confi dence for the state highway com mission in the house und four committee hearings last night. The house defeated a resnln. tlon which would have set up a legislative committee to arbitrate nispuies Between the highway commission and towns over loca tion of highways. In an Oregon-Washington fish ... ... mi;, i'i""vm was given a plan to create a Washlngton-Ore-gon-Idaho authority to control fisheries of the Columbia river. The senate roads and highways committee voted In favor of a bill to set a speed maximum of the highways of 45 miles an hour, 25 miles an hour in residential dis tricts and 20 miles an hour in business districts. Truck Tax Change Asked A hearing was held on a bill to change truck taxation from a ton mile levy to a flat $5-a-ton basis. A. F. Harvey, superintendent of motor transportation for the state public utilities commission, testi fied it would reduce tax Income by $123,000. Truckers said, revenue would not decrease because many truck ers now evade the ton-mile tax. The hearing was before the house motor vehicles and aero nautics committee which favored bills to authorize cities and coun ties to construct emergency air ports in cooperation with the fed eral government, and to advertise the 1943 Oregon Trail centennial on auto license plates that year. Opponents battled before the house counties and cities commit tee on a bill which would olimin- ate from the state housing act a provision that a city must estab lish a housing authority on peti tion of 25 voters If investigation reveals need.
