The commission adopted a general policy pending the war to Inaugurate no new Improvements, and only one will be undertaken, that stretch of the Columbia river high way between Hood River and Mosier. Blds received on the Salem-Aurora road were not satisfactory to the com mission and it Is doubtful, if a con tract would have been awarded re gardless of the policy adopted. The Warren Construction company sub mitted two bids, one of 1403,000 and another of $421,000. The latter was the only bid that could have been accepted because It was the only one that met specifications.

'This Is done in sympathy and ap proval of the policy of the Federal government In conserving both the financial and the labor resources of the country.
