Douglas County's
Boad Policy Told
Financial
Phases Enter
Into Address
B ridges' Life Extended,
Oiling Planned, Advises
Commissioner Beckley
The Douglas County Road De-
nartment was allotted Sl.650.000 in
1952 and about one of half of that
was spent on maintenance, labor
and equipment rental.
That was the figure Quoted by
County Commissioner Lynn Beck-
i ly in a itpeecn oeiore me nose-
; burg chamber of Commerce in the
Umpqua Hotel Monday noon.
In other words, Beckley said,
that is the amount left after schools,
the welfare department and otherJ? whether Close must return to
county projects have been financed
What would happen if we should
have a recession? the speaker
asked as he explained that $1 mil
lion of the county budget came
from the sale of O 4t C and forest
service timber sales.
The county budget for 1951 to
taled $2,700,000.
"The county court acts as a pol
icy making board for the road
department," Beckley said before
turning to the county's bridge con
struction problems.
Life Of Bridge Increased
In an attempt to reduce the cost
of bridge building, steel, concrete
and treated timbers with laminated
decks are being employed, the
speaker said.
He pointed to the Increase in
bridge life as the reason -for the.
switch. Bridges constructed of un
treated timbers several years ago
had an estimated life -of six to
eight years. That figure has been
raised to 40 or 60 years through
the use of new materials, Beckley
added.
The distribution of the road de
partment's budget over the county
was touched upon by the com
missioner. To achieve equality of money
spent per mile on the roads the
county has been divided into dis
tricts, he said.
"Each of the districts Is super
vised by a patrolman and he is
allocated money on the basis of
the miles in his area" Beckley
explained.
The money in the bridge depart
ment is spent where construction
is needed, he said, and road oiling
is done when finances permit.
Road oiling is becoming more
important in rural districts where
there is heavy log truck traffic,
the speaker said. ,
In an effort to alleviate the con
dition, the commissioner explained,
the road department has agreed
to spread the oil if the residents
of the areas affected will buy it.
Permanent Oiling Planned
Beckley said that in 1953, the
road department is going to in-

"Oil Tills the Soil," was shown
protraying the growth of petrol

ply Co-operative when its first well
came into production in May, 1951.
This was followed by the rapid
sinking of six more wells, with the
seventh well coming in on Jan. 22
of this year. These wells are ooerat
ling on the Pacific Co-Op holdings
in tne Los Angeles area, and ten
more wells may be completed by
June of this year. The net pro

used to develdp phosphate mines.

Log Hauling
Fee Assailed
In 2nd Action

A log truck owner and onerator
wants back the five dollars he paid
for his county log hauling permit.
ne was uniawiuuy and illegal
ly" ordered to obtain the nermit
he alleges in a Circuit Court com
plaint.
Ai L. Paulson, Idelyld Route, has
filed the action for money five
dollars claiming he obtained the
permit only because of threat of
arrest and prosecution.
If he gets -'he money back, it
would mean that about 300 other
log truck operators who have ob
tained the permits would be en
titled to get their money back, too.
Named defendants in the suit are
County Commissioners Lynn Beck
ley and Elmer Mctzger, Judge Carl
C. Hill, and Sheriff O. T. Carter.
This is the second suit striking
against the County Court's order of
uec. 22, 1948, setting up the
county's log hauling regulations.
Previously, James E. Laney. 908W
S. Jackson St., had filed suit to
enjoin the county from enforcing
me regulations.
Both men drive their own log
trucks over Highway. 99 and the
North Umpqua Highway.
The county has announced that
its hauling regulations are in the
process of being changed. A spokes-j
man said, however, that the five
dollar permit fee would be con
tinued and that the main change
would le in including other types
of trucks as well, as log trucks.
Paulson's attorney, who is also
representing Laney, said the basis
for the latest complaint is the same
as in Laney s case.
The county's rcgulationi are no
longer valid, the attorney contend
ed, because of a 1951 legislative
act putting jurisdiction of roads
including county roas ' in the
hands of the Start Highway Com
mission. Counties, he contended, have no
control over their roads except as
provided in the legislative act it
self. And there's nothing in the act
that permits such regulation of log
hauling as the county is undertak
ing, the attorney declares.
Improvements Planned
For New R. G. Baker Park
High on the county park depart

quired Richard G. Baker park,

The park, named after the late

It will fee dedicated in connec

GOSSO FAILS AGAIN
Douglas County 'Lifer'
And Pal Nabbed In State
Prison Escape Attempt
Vernon John Gosso, convicted habitual criminal who
once tried vainly to escape from the Douglas County jail,
tried a break Monday from the State Penitentiary and
sgain failed.
The 25-year-old ex-professional wrestler, sentenced
from Douglas County to life imprisonment, was discov
ered hiding in a prison laundry truck with another life
termer, Raymond Francis Frye, 34. sentenced from Coos
County for murder.
Both were discovered by prison
guards hiding among dirty clothes
in laundry baskets in the truck.
The vehicle had been driven out
side the penitentiary walls, but
was locked.
Guards, missing the pair from
the prison laundry where both
worked, investigated and found
them in the truck at the main
gate.
Last October 10, Gosso made his
first ill-fated break for freedom.
With Edward C. Powell, 25, Gosso
assaulted and severely beat jailer
William Kissinger.
A vicious struggle occurred and
the pair got as far as the jail ele
vator. There they were foiled when
Kissinger jammed the operating
mechanism of the elevator.
Gosso was subsequently convict
ed on the jail break charge as
well as his original unarmed rob
bery charge. With a record of three
other felony convictions, he thus
became subject to prosecution as
an habitual criminal.
He was convicted and sentenced
to life imprisonment by Circuit

Later the two stars were res

But Eureka's mayor, Robert H.

effort in behalf of six major federal
reform proposals.
