gramme by another $200,000 for its
own bond issue.
Grading; to Be Completed.
For grading wherever necessary to
complete the Columbia River Highway

preferred macadam to hard surface.
Tor macadamizing Cummings Hill on
the John Day highway, "Wheeler County

levy. The contract has already been
let for grading the road on this hill.
The Commission authorized the hard-
surfacing of the Rex-Tigard road from
the Multnomah County line to New
berg, about 15 miles. No definite amount

issue.
Astoria Paving Authorised.
On the Columbia River Highway the
lisird-aurfaoinir of th road from As-

tnre being live miles extending in
either direction from the county boun
dary line. This money, the amount of
which was not definitely fixed, will
come from the $6,000,000 bond issue.
The same is true of four miles of
hard surfacing allotted to Yamhill
County on the Sheridan-Tillamook
road. v ork is now in progress on
one mile of this stretch, and the com
mission early yesterday agreed to
pave three miles, as the property
owners will do the grading. Later
another delegation of property owners
appeared, headed by State Senator Vin
ton, of McMinnvillc. and urged for an
additional mile.
Dangerous Hill Road to Go.
As they agreed to pay all costs of
preparing the road for hard surface
and the cost of the pavement will be
relatively lessened by having; an add!
tional mile to lay, the commission
agreed to their proposal. This money
also will come out of the $6,000,000
road bonds.
It was agreed by the commissioners
on condition that Clackamas County
matches the money for work this year
and provides funds for completing it
next year, to allot i,uuo tor eliminat
ing the dangerous New Era hill road
The Clackamas County Commissioners
promised to give a definite answer to
the commission a proposal next wen

the quarter-mill state highway levy,

able after Auarust 1. $175,000.
The Commission declared the policy,
after listening to a brief talk by
Frank J. Miller, chairman of the Pub
lie Service Commission, to have as few
railway grade crossings as possible
on roads that are hard-surraced.
. Mr. Miller declared that with th
hard-surfacing of roads, grade cross
intra of railway tracks became dou
bly dangerous because of the greater
speed at which automobiles would
travel. He expressed the personal be
lief that there should be no grade
crossings, but said that circumstances
were such sometimes that they could
not be absolutely done away with.
He aked the Highway Commission
to notify the Publio Service Commis
slon as to any grade crossings it de
sired to eliminate, and the Commis
sloners gladly promised to do so.

Treasurer Returns.
SALEM, Or.. June 27. (Special.")
Probably several days, perhaps a few
weeks, will elapse before bonds may
be issued under the Bean-Barrett mil
to obtain money to jneet the require
ments of the Shackleford act.
Under the 'law. these bonds are to be
issued by the State Board of Control,
the Attorney-General to prepare the
form of the bond- at the direction of
that board, the bonds to be payable at
such time and under such conditions
of refunding and payment as shall be
provided by the Board of Control. The
bonds, however, shall not exceed 20
year bonds and shall bear a. rate of
interest not to exceed 4 per cent.
It is required under the law that
these bonds be signed by the Govern
or. Secretary of State and State Treas
urer. State Treasurer Kay is in the
East attending the Shrlners National
convention and probably will not be
hack for 10 days or two weeks.
The act provides that the bonds shall
be in such denomination as the board
may direct. 'The law is wide in its
latitude in the disposal of the bonds,
providing that the board shall take
such steps as it deems necessary for
the advertising of the bonds, and after
the sale of each issue the proceeds
shall be placed in the state treasury to
the credit of a special fund subject to
be paid out only for the purpose of
matching the Federal road funds.

POSTAL CLERKS MAY ENLIST

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, June 27. Under a ruling of the
Controller of the Treasury, postal
clerks and other postal employes who
enter the Army, Tational Guard or
Navy during the war, will be entitled
to leave of absence from the postal
service and will be entitled to draw
both military and postal salaries, pro
vided the two combined do not exceed
$2000 per annum. This decision was
based on the refusal of certain Oregon
postmasters to grant leaves of absence
to employes desiring to enter the mili
tary service, their refusal to grant
leaves with pay having had the effect
of discouraging enlistments.
This ruling also, is construed as
giving official sanction to the enlist
ment of postal employes in the military
and naval service, especially as the
