CASE TO BE FOUGHT OUT On Suggestion of Governor, Confer ences With Various Counties in V Kesard to Proposed Trunk Koad Are Ordered Held. AIiEM, Or., May 9. (Special.) Re fusal of John IT. Iewis, State Knglneer, to approve tne voucher for $250 in pay ment of the monthly salary of E. I. Can tine, chief deputy engineer, today raised the question of whether the claim can properly he audited for pay ment by the auditing department or the Secretary of State's office, if the State Highway Commission members approve it. Mr. Lewis submitted the vouchor for Mr. Cantine's salary to the Commission today with other claims, all of which, with the exception of the item for the chief deputy's salary, had been ap proved by him as usual. In explana tion of his not having signed the sal ary 'voucher, the State Engineer said that he had no knowledge of his chief deputy's whereabouts nor of what work he has been doing the last month. Since a month ago, when the Highway Commission decided to retain Mr. Can tine in the Highway Department con trary to the State Engineer's recom mendation, Mr. Cantine has not re ported to his superior. In his last re port to the Highway Commission Mr. Cantine announced that he was at work compiling road data for submis sion to the next Legislature. The claim for Mr. Cantine's salary has not yet been presented to the auditing department with the commis sion's w approval, but when it is, the question, of its audit will then be con sidered, It was said today. The ques tion of whether State Engineer Lewis must approve all vouchers from his department, will probably be put up to the Attorney-Generals office for deci-eion. Upon suggestion of Governor Withy- combe the Commission ordered Chie ' ' pui y v-annne iu consult wun m county courts of Grant, Wheeler. Sher man and Baker counties concerning the proposed survey for a road from the Columbia Highway in Sherman County south and east to Ontario. These coun ties are already interested in the proposed highway, according to Engi neer Lewis, and have raised money to rrovide for the survey. The Federal .Forest Service it is said also will probably make a survey for a branch of the proposed road running through the National Forest. The Commission was informed that the residents of Wheeler County desire to know if the ft ate will provide monetary aid for the construction of its portion of the proposed road. If they are assured of aid from the state, it is said that a. bond issue of $80,000 will be voted in that county for the highway. The board at this time has taken no action in view of the scarcity of funds available. The Commission assured a delegation from Sheridan, Yamhill County, that if Wasco County failed to comply with the conditions imposed by the Commis sion, that $5000 of the $45,000 allotted to Wasco County would be diverted to aiding in the paving of a mile and a half of road running east out of Sher idan. The residents along this road, it was said, had already raised $6000 of the amount necessary and the County .Court has given assurances of help.
