Highway Commission Adopts
Policy of Non-Construction
During War.
Indefinite postponment of the pav
ing of the Pacific highway from Sa
lem to -Aurora was the action de
cided upon' at a meeting ot the state
highway commission In Portland
Tuesday. 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. The Burrell
Engineering ft Construction company
of Chicago submitted a proposal to
f do the, work on force account, the
bid being cost pins 15 per cent for.
concrete construction.
The commission adopted the fol
lowing resolution:
"At Its meeting today the Oregon
state highway commission rejected
all bids on the paving work contemp
lated between Aurora and Salem and

thus reducing to the minimum ex
penditure of funds for the present
year on road work.
'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.
"Notwithstanding the mandatory
nature of the state law which creat
ed the commission and provided
funds for , road work under It, the
commission believed its course is ful
ly warranted by the conditions Im
posed by the war and feel confident
that Its actions will be supported by
the people of the state." ,
