AUli AIRS. JQBX DC MARA 918 BUDGE! IS LESS Estimate of Expenditures Sub mitted for Approval. ACTION TO BE TAKEN SOON Road master Tcon's Recommenda tions Held Up Pending; Investlga. tion by Commission Improve ments Planned for Year. Road work In Multnomah County during the current year will cost $3!. 000 less than during 1917, according to the working budget prepared by Road- master Teon and submitted to the County Commissioners yesterday for their approval. The budget approval was withheld until the Commissioners can make an Investigation of the rec ommendations, but it is probable that definite action will be taken tomorrow morning. The total amount sought for road work this year is placed at $504,159 In Mr. Teon'a budget. The amount spent last year was $686,338. according to his annual report, which was submitted with his ISIS road budget. Of the amount spent last year. $84,706.21 was used for the Columbia River Highway, while an appropriation of but $10,000 for maintenance Is sought for the pres ent year. Another $10,000 la requested for the maintenance of the Vista House. With his 1917 report and estimated budget for 1918. Mr. Teon submitted his recommendations for deputy road master, engineer and accountant, but the confirmation of these appointments waa held up by Rufus Holman. chair man, who said he desired a little time to make an Investigation. Mr. Teon recommended the appoint ment of H. B. Chapman as deputy road master: P. W. Marx as engineer, and D. W. Stoddard as accountant All three men have been connected with his office during the past year. Mr. Chapman taking the place of Deputy Roadmaster Knowles, who recently won Lieutenant s commission In the en gineering corps of the Army. Despite the refusal of Chairman Holman to confirm these appointments. It was an nounced by Mr. Teon that the work would continue until such time as the appointments are confirmed. This may possibly mean that the appointments must await the return of Commissioner Hoi brook from California. Chief among the road Improvements planned for this year are the macadam lslng of the Bertha-Beaverton road. which has been sought for some time; the pavtng of East Eighty-second street a distance of four miles; the re location and macadamizing of the Slavln road and the macadamizing of the Columbia boulevard from the Sandy road to the city limits. In his annual report of work accom pllshed last year It Is shown that $84,706.21 was spent on the Columbia Highway. Including $52,590 used In the Vista House construction. The road work In the six districts of the county will be divided as follows, according to the budget submitted by Mr. Teon: Dlatrlct No. 1 $ ?Y0ft0 Dlatrlct No. 2 in.:O0 Dlattiet No. S.... l?'.oo Dlatrlct No. 4 ST.SOO Dlallict No. ft. 0.H0 Sl.Z.tO 63.SU0 Dlatrlct No. S ailscsllaneoua Total $504,150 GIRLS VIS1TP0LYTEGHNIG LINCOLN HIGH STUDENTS MAKE PILGRIMAGE TODAT.

AVIATION SURGEON DUE H, C1UBTREB WILL EVSPECT RECRUITING STATION. Physical Testa for Applicants Begun Yesterday SO Report Front Seattle. Lieutenant-Colonel G. H.

About 60 of these have already reported. The physical tests for applicants were be gun yesterday. I don t want any young men to get the Idea that we are here to examine only those who had previously filed applications, said Captain Levy. We want new men to come in. While qualifications for entrance into the aviation section are set fairly high, the examinations are not nearly so rigid as many think. BOY SCOUTS MAKE GOOD YOUNGSTER ARB ACTING AS JU VENILE GAME WARDENS. Valuable Service Readered la Enforcing Laws of State, Says Carl D. Saoe amakex. Chief Official. Boy Scouts are doing- an Important work throughout the state and particu larly in the vicinity of Portland as Juvenile game wardens, according to Carl D. Shoemaker, State Game Warden. In fact, Mr. Shoemaker believes that If the Boy Scouts were not assisting In the work It would be practically lm possible this year to effectively en force the game laws. "Because of the young hunters and fishermen who have gone to war or will go this year," Mr. Shoemaker ex plained yesterday, "we are short about $20,000 that we would otherwise receive from the sale of licenses. This loss makes necessary an extensive curtail ment of our patrol work. "The Boy Scouts have risen to the emergency by patrolling the woods and trout streams. They warn all offend ers they encounter and report them at this office. In a number of cases the Scouts' reports of flagrant violations of the game laws have resulted in fines and Imprisonment for the offenders." A class of Boy Scouts meets In, Mr. Shoemaker's office every Saturday to study the fish and game laws of the state. Those who pass an examination showing a thorough knowledge of the laws are appointed Juvenile game war dens. Their work in this capacity. says Mr. Shoemaker, Is beneficial to the boys themselves, to the state, to the earns and to the sportsmen.
