Money Will Be Ued Only for Purpoee
of Hardsnrfaclar Highway Built
Along Approved Scientific Xlnei.
(Bulcm Rurtnii of Th Journal.)
Ralrui. Or.. May 12. There i $170.-
000 In the Htate highway fund avail
able for uhb In actual road construc
tion ami the utatc hlKhway commifision
ymlenlay afternoon decided to expend
this, num in hardHurfacing roads In
i-nnntlea where permanent hiKhways
are being huilt. At the present there
are only three counties In this class,
Jaekxon. Columbia and Clatsop, but as
other counties vote highway bonds
they will be entitled to Bhare In the
funds.
State HlKhway KriKlneer IT. j. Bowl
by was Instructed to proceed to ex
pend the money for this purpose. He
ald the first work will be done in
Clatsop county, where probably a five
mile stretch of highway will be hard'
surfaced. The state's money is to be
used only In putting? on the hard sur
face. In reaching this decision the mem
bers of the commissions held that It
was Just to give the state's aid to
those counties which were undertaking
the construction of a system of per
manent roads, rather than to scatter
the limited amount of money over the
state for repairing or improving tem
porary roads. The harduurfacing done
by the state also will serve as demon
stration roads and be an encourage
ment to other counties to Join In the
permanent road movement.
The tax levy for the state highway
coninilslon raised $238, 000. Of this
urn $30,000 is being spent on the
"VVaseo-Blggs road. In Sherman county,
and about $10,000 is being used for en
gineering work and general expenses
of the highway department.
The hlxhway commission was ad
vised that the contract has been let
for the Clatsop county section of the
Columbia riVer highway to the Boya-John-Arnold
compimy of Portland, for
approximately $J25.6M).
The road will extend from Astoria
to the Columbia county line and the
work is to be completed by December 1.
Statement of Governor.
In explanation of the disposition be
ing made of the state highway fund,
Oovernor West today issued the fol
lowing statement:
"In order that an erroneous Impres
sion, which has gotten out a,s to the
expenditures of the state highway de-
fnirtnient may be corrected, the follow
ng statement Is given the public:
"The last legislature appropriated
$10,000 for the support of the high
way department for 1913, or until the

year the books of the secretary of
state showed $9000 of the said $10,
000 fund expended.
"The said millage. tax Is now avail
able -Jn amounts to I23S.570.60. The
books of the secretary of state show.
uiwtar date of May 1, the entire fund
Intact, no warrants having been drawn
agHiiiHt it. However, road construc
tion and surveys now under way in
several of the counties, together with
some needed equipment will when paid
. for, consume between $60,000 or $70,000
of the said fund and will leave about
$170,000 for other construction In ac
cerdance with the plans of the com
mission."
