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. '
"We also believe that the two con
vict labor bills providing for working
all convicts upon our public highways
Bhould become law."
