SHOP Governor Asks If Delay Until Nor mal Times Xot Advisable. S. Benson to Report. SALEM, Or., May 6. (Special.) That the state highway commission has obligated the state to the extent of approximately 4,000,000 for the construction of forest and post roads, and that it will be absolutely neces sary for the state board ofcontrol to sell $2. 500. 000 worth of securities under what is known as the federal aid act to meet these obligations was the statement made by Simon Ben son, chairman of the highway com mission, at a conference of the mem bers of the commission and the board of control held here today. It was explained at the conference tliat practically all of these contracts were made last year and prior to the special session of the legislature in January, where an act was passed making it discretionary with the board of control to eell bonds to meet federal aid. In other words, it was stated by Mr. Benson that at the time the contracts were awarded the board of control had no option other than to sell the bonds and that the high way commission proceeded and award ed the contracts under the assump tion that the eecurities would be is sued and th4 money derived there from placed to the credit of the highway department. Savins Pointed Out. While admitting that the bond mar ket is somewhat uncertain and that the 2, 500, 000 Issue probably would not bring as much as some securities sold by the Btate In the past, it was brought out that because the con tracts were awarded under conditions prevailing last year the state would benefit in the gradual rise of prices since that time. This saving, it was argued, would more than offset the sum of money it would be necessary to sacrifice on account of the unfa vorable condition of the bond market. Governor Olcott asked the commis aioners if it would not be better for .the state to retrench in its road ac tivities until such time as conditions returned to normal. He indicated that it was his personal opinion that the peak had been reached in busi ness throughout the country and that a falling off In the labor market might be expected at any time. In such case. Governor Olcott said, "it would be a mighty nice thing to have a couple of millions of dollars to put on the roads and thereby absorb to some extent the unemployed." The executive also declared that because of present abnormal condi tions it was costing the state a lot of money for roads. CrltieUm Not Intended. In this connection the governor made It plain that he was not criticising the highway department, as high costs were general and affected all lines of industrial activity. Mr. Ben Bon replied that notwithstanding the personal desires of the commissioners or state officials, the fact remained that the contracts Incumbering- the S2, 500, 000 already had been awarded, and that it was now- up to the state to sell the securities and pay the bills. A few weeks ago bids were solicited for the purchase of $1,000,000 worth of these federal aid bonds, but the best proposal received was 91.53. This bid was considered unsatisfac tory and all proposals were rejected by the board. A little later the high way commission asked for the sale of an additional SI. 500. 000 of the bonds, bringing the grand total of these se curities u:ider consideration up to $2, S00.000. Governor Olcott at the conference today asked Mr. Benson to prepare for the board of control before the meeting to consider proposals for the sale of the bonds, on May 11. a state ment setting out the highway con tracts awarded under the federal aid aot, the amount of money necessary to pay frr thepe improvements and an xw ? wBwmmmmm narrow band .
