THE OREGON" DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND.; TUESDAY. MARCH 25, 1919. O GUARANTEE IS NOT E MAD NEFFECTVE BYROAD MEASURE Attorney Genera! Rules Highway Commission May Require. Pro tection Agai nst Any Defects. MAINTENANCE BCMD IS HIT Different Form of Wording for Contract' and Bond Proposed to Prevent Misconstruction. Salem, March 25. House . bill 114, which was enacted into law by the recent legislature and which makes H unlawful for the . state higrhway com mission or any other public official to Include a maintenance guarantee In road construction, contract, does not prevent the commission from including; a provision for the guarantee of work manship and materials used' In con nection with a paving: project, according- to an opinion given by Attorney General Brown to the .state , highway commission. r '-.. , The attorney general holds that the commission may require a- -guarantee of workmanship and materials cover ing -a period of f lv i .years without con flicting with the,' Intent of the new law; In his opinion he quotes extracts from,; th present form, pf ' road con tract being used-: by the .highway commission,- and .then says. -'f'Frbm "a" reading v of the ioregoing quotations taken from page 7 of 'the contract and the quotation taken from the bond, it appears that 'the, subject covered and intended to be reached, is the matter of ; remedying defects in pavement, 3 either - from " faulty ; ma terial or faulty workmanship, and It appears that the subject intended to be reached by H. B. 114 is the question of maintenance of--' highways which may haye - been devoid - of defects either from w6rkmansh!; or materials in tho first instance, but which need repairs and reconstruction because of condi tions other than those resulting from faulty construction. "It is my opinion that H. B. 114 was not intended to. and does' not conflict with the provision above quoted from the contract:" likewise the provision from the bond.". " But to avoid possible , misconstruc tion he suggests a' diferent form of wording for the contract and the bond, so there can be no mistaking the mean ing. . 'you will permit' me to make the further suggestion' he concludes, "that a more satisfactory guarantee than an action on a bond is a rigid Inspection at ' the time of construction of the highway. Arguments Are Filed r " Salem, March 25. Arguments in sup port: of all the measures which will be ft on ' the ,b'aMot at the special election to be held June. 3,. 2-ave been filed with the ; secretary of state.' who will In clude them - In, the voters' -, pamphlet, which will' soon be issued. : This - pam phlet will contain all the measures to be voted on. .' '. ' ' No neative arguments were filed. All - the arguments. except in two in stances, were : prepared by committees appointed by the legislature." The two exceptions are 1m connection ' with the measure authorising the state to co operate with the government In the construction of the proposed Roose velt military coast highway and the proposed constitutional amendment raising the limitation for. - road bond indebtedness by ' counties ' from 2 ' per cent to per cent of the assessed val uation. -- In these two instances arguments were filed by private - organizations. Commissioners Are Responsible Salem, March 25. In an opinion to P. W. Mulkey, chairman of the sol diers' and sailors commission, created by an act passed by the recent legis lator appropriating $100,000 for the re lief of returning soldiers and sailors. Attorney General Brown holds that the members of the commission ' are personally responsible and liable for the funds entrusted to them. Mr. Mulkey asked . him who would be liable if the' commission placed the money in a bank and the bank failed, and the attorney general replies that the members of th commission would be. "All public officers receiving and holding money under authority of law," he Bays, "are responsible for its saTe keeping even though s.it be lost by the failure of . a bank in ' which they have lawfully deposited it for safe keep ing." ; Buslnqss .
