SALEM, Or., Fob. 4. (Special)
State Highway Engineer Herbert
Nunn has responded to a rennest from
Chester L. Chambers of Eagle Creek
Orange, Eagle Creek, Clackamat coun
ty, at to condition! In the highway
department and as to what that de
partment Is doing.
Among other things, In response to
the Inquiry of Mr. Chambers, he as
tern that "A comparslon of ttate
prlcea for pavement, as compared with
that ot Clackamat county, Is vory un
satisfactory, as the State Highway De
partment maket a complete charge for
all materials and equipment used for
a completed piece of construction and
the price paid per square yard hat lit
tle to do with the completed work.
The statement, however, that the state
has paid three times as much for lta
pavement as Clackamas County
should not be taken seriously, as the
specifications of the state are much
more rlitldly enforced and the work
more carefully done than In Clacka
mas County and the statomont at a
whole Is untrue."
In his letter, which Is In the nature
cf n statement to the public, Mr. Nunn
snys:
"On account of the Heemlng unjusti
fied attacks on the State Hlghwny De
partment, a etatement at this time of
the exact conditions under which this
department works and of the nctuol
expenditure of monoys will help to
place the matter bofore the people In
this state, who are honestly Interested,
In the proper light.
"One of the particular statements
which has been made is that the State
Highway Department has spent to
date $36,000 for automobiles. This
statement Is untrue. The fact la,
however, that the state hat spent
$12,605.80 for automobiles for the pur
pose of transporting engineering and
construction crews to their work.
