BEGUN AT DALLAS Polk County Residents Allege That West Side Branch, h Not Undertaken According to Law. Dallas., Or., June 11. Suit to en join the' state highway commission and the county of Polk from the ex ecution of a contract providing for the Improvement of the west side branch of the .Pacific hfghway through Polk county was .begun at Dallas today In the circuit court; The suit la brought on behalf 6f th following , residents of Polk "county j Kroetit ZIleHch, P. T. Peterson. H. H. Brandt, O. A, Dickenson, Henry Dick enson and 8. McElmurray. In the complaint if is set forth, that on May 14. 1921, the county court of Polk and the stats highway commission entered Into two contracts. , In one of these- contracts It was provided that the state would at once begin with the Improvement of the road between Mon mouth and -the Luckiamute river, In consideration of the payment by the county of the' sum of $43,000 out of the market road, fund of the county, the county designating the road as a market road. l :, The other ' contract provided for the Improvement of . the highway between Holmes Cap and the Luckiamute and the Benton county line, and the completion of the Salem-Dallas highway. The estimated cost to the county is $US. 000. It was agreed that the state highway commission would advance the funds, the county to repay the state in equal Installments on or before four years, together with Interest at 54 per cent.. It was further agreed ""that the county in order to mefit its obligations should levy a tax or vote bonds. . It is alleged that the contracts be tween the state highway commission and the Polk county court, are ultra vires and ' made' without authority. It is further alleged that the $43,000 mar ket road money cannot be applied on a state highway, but must- be expended on a county road designated by the county court and improved only under the supervision and control . of the county court. The suit Is an outgrowth o the con-i troversy of several years standing relative to; the routing f of fhe Pacific highway through Polk county. The state highway law passed by the leg islature of 1917 provided that the high way should run through Dallas, Mon mouth and Independence. tThis route was not satisfactory to the 'state high way commission, which at first adopted a route which placed Dallas on a stub and ran from Independence south to the Benton county line. Subsequently It was decided .by the commission to leave both Dallas and Independence off the' main line and locate the road through Rickreall. Monmouth and thence directly south to Benton county. Owing to the. absence of Circuit Judge Belt, who Is holding court in Portland. no temporary restraining Order has yet" been issued. Washington Moose ' Choose Walla Walla Aberdeen, Wash., June 11.

This revised plan of operation would re sult 1 not only in considerable saving to the carriers, but in better and' cheaper service to the public High switching rates which were established during the period of federal control on' account of increased : operating costs : and to en courage the use of trucks for short hauls within the city, should be reduced.
