THREE BIG SPORT EVENTS BARNARD SAYS STATEMENT HELD SUNDAY BY RONEY INCORRECT VALLEY CITIES COMPLETE LEAGUE ORGANIZATION LEGALITY OF STATE CLAIM IS IN DOUBT HAND AND RAY ON FOR SATURDAY NIGHT S THREAT OF INJUNCTION IS CAUSE OF FEELING H olding Up o f Building o f Brtdga Gan N ot A ife c t Route tor P acific Highway. Considerable feelin g has beeu caused by the threat made during the pa^t week that injunction proceedings will be started if uu attem pt is made to spend any of the market roads iuuds upon the m id ge to be erected over mo Coast fork just north of this city. Members of the chamber o f commerce uud other road boosters are surprised by the statem ent that such proceedings are to be started in Cottage Grove, which is to get so much b en efit from the proposed improvement and when the building ot this budge would com plete the route through the city for which residents of the city have worked lor so many year This also is one oi the last links in com pleting P acific highw ay for the entire length o f the state. There is considerable speculation as to who may be behind suen a move. injun ction proceedings against the expending of market roud money on this work can only delay a job that w ill be com pleted this year it the c it izens of Cottugc Grove are a unit iu wishing the improvement. The injunc tion proceedings can in no way cluing j the location oi the highway througu the city, the sta le highw ay com m is sion has d efin itely su llied upon tiiu route as the best, the most direct, the sa fest and the most econom ical. In reply to a letter from the chamber oJ commerce asking as to com parative costs of building by this ucw route or by the present, route, the commi.-> siou answered that uo other route would be considered aud pointed uu. that two bud curves are elim inated, that a bridge can be built in a straight line aud that even were the old route used the present bridge at N in th street; would have to be discarded, us rt u not wide enough to handle the sta te tr a ffic . Judge Barnard hus explained thau the c o u r t’s reasou for allottin g a poi tiou of the market road fu n d to the highw ay is that there is no bond mon ey available, the general fund is u»l allotted elsew here aud the court deems it a w ise expenditure oi funds in a s much as the state proposes to expend seven or eigh t dollars to the county s one ou the projects to which the coun ty money is allotted.
