T1 ONE F/RME1 S’.VES A FINAL WO ON $540 IN ONE YEAR H, West of Scappoose. Tells What Gcod Roads Mean to Him. i-1 L M. Mtit, farmer and dairyman, lit Ing near Scappoose, is an enthusiastic supporter of the road bond bill that will be before the voters for their ap proval at the special election June 4 He is for the road bonds because the value of good roads has been demon strated to him conclusively. Through the construction of a macadam road by which he is enabled to send milk •nd cream to market by auto truck, Mr. West last year saved $540. "Before the macadam road was built," according to Mr. West, “I had to haul my milk and cream by team to Scappoose. But now an auto truck calls at my borne daily, delivers my dairy prodt ts in the Portland market •nd on the return trip brings groceries •nd other supplies right to my door. Due entirely to the macadam road, my saving last year in marketing the products of my dairy alone was $540. This estimate does not include the saving that has attended the market ing of my farm products and the de livery of freight and other supplies at my home. "By hard-surfacing this macadam road, my savings due to improved roads will be even greater for with the completed road the cost of operating •uto trucks will be further reduced. Yes. I am enthusiastically in favor of the road bond bill. Provides Immediate ConMrus- tion of Permanent Highways Without Increasinj Taxes, Much has been said In opposition to the good roads bond bill that has no b'-arlng whatever oa the measure and which could be deslgni d ouiy to poi son and prejudice the voters again, it. That being the case, the following per tinent facts are submitted for the in formation and thoughtful considera tion of the Impartial voter on the eve of the special election June 4th: | This road bond bill proposes the is suance of $6,000,000 tw< nly-five year i four per cent bonds for the construe- tion of a system of state-wlde hard- surfaced highways. The roads to be Improved are designated in the bill and Include the main-traveled roads throughout the stale. Adequate revenue has been provided by statute for paying both interest and principal and retire the bonds at maturity without inert using taxes. The money derived from the increased automobile licenses and the existing quarter-mill state road tax will pay the interest and retire the bonds and leave a substantial balance for the construction of other roads not enum erated in the bond bill. The Increased automobile license and the state road tax are provided by statutes now in effect and will have to be paid regardless of whether or not the road bonds are votid at the special election June 4th. The automobile owner Is willing to pay the increased llci use. All that ha asks is that tile license money, which has to be paid anyway, be expended In constructing the roads proposed in the bond bill. The automobile owner will provide all of the money necessary to meet the interest charges and retire the bonds, lie fails to see why there should be any opposition to the ex penditure of tlie money so provided in the construction of good roads, ia view of the fact that it is Ills money that will pay for the improve menis. All of the money raised from the bonds will be expended under the di i rection of Hi" State Highway Commis sion, appointed by Governor Withy- combe. Tlie Comiuissloa has announc oil that in expt niliiig the fund a.l sec tions of the state will be considered impartially. A dollar's worth of road const ruction for every dollar expended is guaranteed by tlie Commissionci s, who have declared that they will pur chase one or more paving plants and lay paving unless satisfactory blds are submitted by paving contractors. Or dinary common sense business princi ples will also govern the Commission ers in their work of road building. Scarcity of labor anil tlie reasonable ness of war-time pries for materials will determine the time for inaugurat | ing work and the scope of actual road ! I construction. Road building will not be undertaken by the Commission un less conditions are favorable. Approval of the road bond bill June 4th w ill be an indorsi mi nt of a plan i that insures for tlie state the construc tion of a system of hard-surfaced roads with funds already provided by law and without increasing other taxes. Vote 314 X YES and help "l’uil Ore gon Out of file Mud.” WILL Lejfal Advertisements Unless Reasonable Bids Are Submitted. State Will Do Work Itse.f. Paving plants will be purchased by the state highway commission. If satisfactory bids for laying pave ment are not received from contractors the commission will thus be prepared to undertake paving work itself by force account. Bids for all types of standard pave ment are to be invited under open and fair competition. The type of pavement to be «elected in each individual case is to be deter mined by cost and local conditions. For work dove by contract good and sufficient guarantees of workmanship, material and durability will be exacted from contractors. During the existence of war condi tions no construction will be under taken which will withdraw labor from agriculture and other needed Industry. The above is an outline of the gen eral policy which is to be followed by the state highway commission in mat ters pertaining to the construction of state roads.
