Commercial Body Approves Measures 324-326, Provid- ingj (Special to lb Journal.) -Parkdale, Or., Oct 21. The Hood River Commercial' club has unanimous ly Indorsed the grange road bills, num bered 324 and 326. For two'months the club good roads committee has been studying, the- bills-all .of , .the.ineasurea before the people and last night the club received the report and approved four measures two providing for the employment of convict labor on high way work. In the report the commit tee says: "After a careful investivation, we fa Vpr supporting the two grange bills, 324 and 326, and we will ask the sup port of the memberi of tne different commerciai-clubs-oftlils-tater. as wall as all loyal citizens to the good roads movement. I'WeT believe that these bills,: com. pared with other initiative road bills, provide for a more uniform and com plete system of road construction. They make the state highway engineer a compulsory advisor in approving all contracts for permanent road con struction before they are let by the county courts. We also believe that the provision providing that all road construction must be done under the direction of a practical road builder is wise and economical. "We believe that the grange county bonding act will be more practical and more likely to encourage road building than any other -bonding act before the people. It provides for better protec tion of the expenditure of the people's money than any other road bill to be voted- upon. . "We believe that' the plan outlined for the selecting of the roads to be improved and the important powers giv en the county road meeting (which is merely a county road legislature with regularly elected members) is demo cratic and Will give better satisfaction than any other system yet suggested relative to selecting the roads to be Improved.
