ROAD BONDS ADVOCATED S. C. Morton Gives Fact9 Relating to Paving of Iloulton-St. Helens. Stretch, 'Which Was Laid at Price Far Below Bids. Residents of Columbia County are not going to be misled by the erroneous statements of C. E. Spence, master of the State Grange, regarding the pro ceedings preliminary to arranging for the paving of the Houlton-St. Helens road, says 8. C. Morton, Mayor of St. Helens. Mr. Morton points out many glaring errors in Mr. Spence s communication to The Oregonlan of May 18 and seeks to set the publio right on the case as follows: ' In the Issue of May . 19 there ap peared an article from C. E. Spence relative to the award for paving on the St. Helens-Houlton road. The statements of Mr. Spence are so at variance with the truth, that I deem It my duty to give to - the public the actual facts. - "The bids of Milfs, Lees Dock Com pany, Montague-O Reilly on concrete paving and that of. the .Warren Con struction Company on bitullthic, also that of Montague-O'Reilly Company for asphaltio concrete, are stated correct' ly by Mr. Spence. . The lowest bid on concrete was $1.36 per square yard; the lowest bid on asphaltio concrete was $1.38 and Warren -Construction Com pany bid $1.48 on bitullthic. "Mr.. Spence, . however, in his efforts to cover up the true facts, neglected to state that all bids were rejected by the Guaranteed Ranges $85 South Bend Malleable, with coil, practically new S47.50 $70 Colonial, on full nickel sanitary base, polished top; used only a few months $45.00 $50.00 Empress Charter Oak, in per fect condition 27.50 $50.00 Glory Charter Oak, with reservoir S25.00 $40.00 Reliance, with coil.. 18.00 Gas Ranges $45.00 White Enamel Vulcan Gas Range, like new 25.00 $45.00 Reliable, canopy top, enamel oven door and broiler S20.00 $35 Acorn, side oven Gas Range, 15 Dozens of others as low as S6.00 No matter how inexpensive or high class call on us. and save money.

Mr. Spence also neglected to state that a petition signed by 139 heavy taxpayers and representative voters of this road district petitioned the County toun to aaopt Warrenite pave ment. The propot pavement is to be IS feet wide anc goes ' through the main street of the city of fit.

The city of St. Helens has also asked that the County Court pave the street intersections with this - same type of pavement and work will be In progress witnin a rew days.
