MONEY BAPLT IfEFBEl) i the board pending the receipt of an ex pression from the three members of the ' highway commission as to the urgency of the situation and the advisability of accepting the bid submitted by the Lura bermens Trust company. This expression came In the form of ' three telegrams, all. urging acceptance. '. S. Benson of Portland, chairman of the commission, was most emphatic in his stand for the acceptance. R. A. Booth pf Eugene, member of the commission, also urged the Immedi ate sale of the issue. - "To cancel contracts would entail loss greater than discount on the bond sale," his telegram reads. Booth, however, suggests that "New-1 work Involving bond sales should not be undertaken now. and existing contracts should be extended where it will aid in the. present emergency." , . ALL .MEMBERS AGREED . ' "While price Is not very satisfactory, do not believe we will make anything by waiting as do not look for,, cheaper in terest rate until other commodities are cheaper' the telegram from E. E. Kid dle, La Grande, ' representing the East ern Oregon district on the highway com mission, reads. "Would advise selling bonds at price offered' ... In explanation of the position of the state .board of control relative to the sale of the Issue, the following state ment was issued : : "If it were not for the fact that the highway commission had already con tracted obi igatipns which made , the sale of these bonds imperative in the minds of the commissioners, the board would have rejected these bids. i "The members of the board believe it regrettable that conditions are such as : securities at such a great reduction. Out standing obligations' appear to be such, i 'however, as to make it absolutely neces sary that they .be met. with a sale of these bonds, even at a great sacrifice. Because of conditions existing the board has been practically forced to dispose of this $1,000,000 woc&'of securities at the price offered but It is with only the greatest reluctance that the bid is being accepted."- .. U - i ".;!.. - The sale of an additional $1,500,00. is sue of Bean-Barrett t bonds has been re quested by the highway commission and they probably will be offered early in June..
