'"The only changes made in the loca
tion of the Columbia highway were
made where economies could be ef
fected, after an openjng of the cuts
had shown conditions different from
what had been expected. These changes
are customary on all grading work. As
an instance of saving effected in this
way, a change made in the vicinity of
Marshland may be cited. This resulted
in a saving of several thousand dol
lars. This change caused a great deal
of criticism, because of the amount of
grubbing exceeding the original .esti
