ment on completion, . the object being to

tion for-future 'pavement where necee
' sary. . A Surrey of the east side branch
of the Pacific highway between Tangent

The commission went to Oregon City
this afternoon for a conference with the
officials of the city and Clackamas
, county relative to the proposed new
'.$400,000 bridge across the Willamette and
j a roadway through the city to Can em ah.
A. new procedure was adopted Tues

I petitions. Kvery delegation that appeared
waa told ; to put its request in writing.
j Thef purpose, it was explained, was to
secure a permanent record and insure
action.- --. i , ? - , -1 ? : v - y- r !;
One of the Ceiegations which ran up
against the- new order of things was
one from Lincoln county, composed of
many men and women who had
selected B. F. Jones for spokesman. The
delegation wanted help In securing a
new seven mile road between .Lincoln
and Tillamook counties where there is
now nothing but a horse trail to relieve
a population pf 2009 people from isola
tion, and thus complete a througb road
down the coast from Astoria to Newport.
Before Jones could launch his speech,
he was cut short by the Interruption
'of Chairman Benson "that is not a
state road and we can't consider It."
It was suggested to the delegation
that Lincoln, and Tillamook counties get
together and agree on. the amount of
cooperation ; they could give in making
the road.: , ) , --. yy.-
Former County Judge Marsters of
Douglas county told the commission
that the county' had several thousand
dollars to apply on the Tiller-Trail road,
and asked that the state loin with the
forest, service in extending the improve
ment to a connection with the Crater
lake- -road. Chairman Benson wanted
to go ahead, but the other two commis
sioners were not' ready to Join . him,
whereat the chairman expressed him
self quite forcibly on the stand taken
by Commissioner, Booth, who ' said : that
ne was not opposea 10 completing- me
road, but thought it advisable to first
complete the Crater lake road between
Medford . and the lake. . The question
was taken under ' further consideration.
Before committing Itself in the mat
ter of . undertaking construction of the
Mount Hood loop highway between
Gresham and Zis Zag, the commission
said it wanted to go over the two
routes proposed, "r
County Judge Sawyer of Deschutes
county - had some premonition of the
commission's change of procedure and
came with his requests in written form.
He asked for a completion of the survey-
of The Dalles-Calif orn At highway
through the county and from Horse
ridge : to the Lake county Una. . Also
for gravelling from the Jefferson coun
ty line to Bend, and. for grading the
