THE , OREGON , DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, WEDNESDAY, MAY 19., 1915. in inn niiiniiiTrr IU ItMK uUHKfllilLL - FOR COUNTY ROADS IS URGED BY YEON Roadmaster's Recommenda tion for Maintenance Re ferred to Attorney, NEW POINT NOW RAISED Question of Xtotalninff Vuui of Xi4 tag PttBtil T7pi of -PaTemtnt ; How Xa Itoomlng Up. Roadmaster Yeon today formally recommended to the board of county commissioners that a ten-year guar antee be required from all bidders for maintenance In" connection with the contracts to be let for hard surfacing the county highways. The mainte nance contract is to be separate from and independent of the construction contracts. Mr.' Y eon's recommendation was re ferred to the district attorney on the vote of Commissioners Lightner and Holbroot. Commissioner Holman op posed the reference to the district at? torneys office on the ground that the question was an administrative one .and not a legal one.-, At the present rate of progress in preparing speaif cations, bids will probably be opened some time this summer. A few days ago it was agreed between the commissioners and ' Roadmaster Yeon that the two 'leading types of patented pavement, bitulithic and haasam, should be speci fied by name. The point is now raised by Assistant District Attorney Murphy, who. is ad vising the board of commissioners in the absence of District Attorney Evhis that this may stifle competition.- His expressed position indicates that he will recommend to the board that the patent names be eliminated: It is contended by the attorneys of the two. companies affected that this will deprive them of their right to their name and that in effect the move :1s in the Interest of "pavements that cannot compete in a fair competition. They argue that it will be much more fair to designate the ' pavement by name in order that all bidders may know just what they are bidding on : and against. I In the matter of the ten year guar antee Commissioner Lightner has sug gested that successful "bidders give a five year bond by a surety cdmpany and an additional five year. personal guarantee. - Stately Matrons Favor Dancing Federation Women, jAfte'r "Watching Dancing-, Place Stamp of Approval on Steps of Terpsichore. ; ' !
