CITIZENS ACCUSE RAILWAY Southern Pacific- Charged With Op posing Highway Improvement. Official of Line Explains Gov ernment Is Using Cars. S. Benson, chairman of the State High way Commission, said yesterday that he expected to have a conference today with several residents of the Aurora, Hubbard and Woodburn communities who are complaining: bitterly because lack of materials is holding- up the prosecution of the contract for the construction of 10 miles of paved road along the Pacific Highway, one half in Clackamas County and the other half in Marlon County. The Southern Pacific Railroad Com pany is unable, to furnish a sufficient number of cars to haul the rock mate rial required to pave the road, and the officials of the Oregon Hassam Paving Company, who have the contract for laying the pavement, say that they are helpless to proceed. Meanwhile the residents of the communities to be benefited by the road improvement charge that the railroad . company is not making the proper effort to supply cars, and some of them charge further that the railroad does not look favor ably upon the idea of the all-year com petition that will result from the hard surfaced road. Road Officials to Be VUKed. The matter has already been pre sented to the Public Service Commis Blon, Mr. Benson said yesterday, but no relief has been forthcoming. In the hope of improving the situation dele sratfona from the towns near the pre lected Improvement have announced that they; will come to Portland today and go with State Highway Commis sioner Benson to consult with the Southern Pacific officials. "I have always assumed that the rallroaJ company is in full sympathy with us in our road work, but from what the people of the Aurora, Hub bard and Woodburn communities tell i me it looks like the Southern Pacific Company might do more for us in the matter of supplying cars," said Mr. Benson yesterday. "The situation will be serious unless relief comes shortly, as it is Impossible to proceed with the work unless rock Is obtained over the railroad route." G. A. Newell, assistant superintend ent of transportation In charge of the car shortage situation for the Southern Pacific Company, said last night that the railroad company will be glad to confer today with the complainants. War Orders Have Preference. "There is a general shortage of gon dolas, the type of car used inhauling rock," said Mr. Newell. "There are some gondolas running in this district, but they are being employed handling lumber and other materials which are regarded by Government officials as important adjuncts to the present war programme. In the East the gondolas are needed in taking care of the coal and iron shipments. "If it were possible to get plenty of flatcars we could board them up and use tnem to haul rock for the road project, but we cannot take the flat oars away from the lumber shippers. particularly those who are sending lumber for use in building up Army camps. We most certainly would be glad to give the Oregon Hassam Com pany cars if we had them. "I am sorry to say that present Indi cations do not promise any early im provement of the unfortunate condition of car shortage. We expect that the Government will call upon us more than ever for co-operation next month. and this does not look encouraging. Salem Company Buying Prunes. RIDDLE, Or.h- Auk. 24. (Special.)
