The $10,000,000 road bonding bill
was adopted by unanimous vote of
the senate and house highways com
mittee last night and today will be
introduced in the house.
An amendment was madd which
provides that should the highway
commission reject all bids received
in open competition, covering either
patented or non-patented pavements,
and decide to "do the work by force
account it may still .make use of
patented pavement- x The position
waa taken by R. W. Montague, at
torney, for the Warren Brothers com
pany, and the members of the com
mittee, who supported him that
should the highway commission re
ject all bids and decide upon the
force account method, the fact that
there wonld then be no competition
in bids would preclude the use of
patented pavement. This interpreta
tion was based upon the phraseology
jof the section amended.
Orton Objects.
After the .amendment had been
made Senator Orton said:
"I think we are borrowing trou
ble to put it in at all. It' jast gives
them something to shoot at."
Senator Orton didn't state whom
he meant by "them," but presumably
it was the legislative battery compos
ed of Lachmmid, Thomas, Dimick,
Sheldon. Hare and otbeis.
Another discussion prior to adop
tion of the bill arose over a motion
of Representative Gore to strike out
section 15 of the bill which provided
for application of the slat, highly
funds to that section of the Pac'fic
highway fcstending from the Ma!tno-4
man countyjine to the TH''moos;
county line. This was seconded by
Representative Dennis and finally
carried over the protest of Fenator ;
Ilandiey. opposition 10 me s v-non
was mainly on the ground that It
would draw fire in the senate r.nd
the house -and cause other roads to
be designated in the bill hena'or
Handley argued for tre section n
the claim that the designated hiph-
wav is a state and not a local ruset.
Incidentally he tipped a hand whPb
he said he intended to reserve for
argument in the senate. This was
that Tillamook has $40,000 available
and will shortly vote $430,000 bon is
for road Improvement with the c b
jeet of taking advantage oi the key
stone position of Tillamook county
and connecting the Columbia river
with the Willamette valley and East
ern Oregon.
Xo Longer Mosatacks.
"Tillamook county is no longer
a mossback county," he said, "and
I challenge you to match us 50-50."
Senator Handley did not offer
strenuous objection to removal of the
section after it was made clear to
him that another section of the bill
in reality covered the point for which
he was contending.
Another amendment provides that
nothing in the act shall be construed
to prevent the highway' commission
from carrying out Bection 16 which
is intended to delegate to the com
mission authority to use portions of
the 10,000,000 'to match federal
money.
A defect In the clause giving coun
ties the light to bid on road projects
was remedied by extending the right
of the counties also to enter into con
tracts to improve highways.
-Would Tie Hands.
Mr. Montague, representing the pa
tent paving interest, and I. N. Day,
representing the non-patent interests.
appeared earlier in the day before
the sub-committee which is consider
Ing the four paving bills of Senators
Dimick. Thomas and Lacnmund.
Montague attacked Senator Dimick's
bill No 67 which is designed to pro
cure free and open competition In
biddinc on highway contracts. He
declared that the Dimick bill is in
tended to exclude patented pavement
from the state. Dimick bad made
several amendments to the bill, but
Mr. Montague declaied that even as
amended it would preclude the lay
ing of patented pavement nd would
tie the bands of the highway commts
sion. He struck at all of the pav
ing bills by declaring that "the ef
fect of all legislation of this kind is
to discredit the eminent gentlemen
of the highway, commission. Sen
ator Dimick assured him that this
was not the intention of the bill un
der consideration.
Statements from contractors re
quired in the bill and intended to
require an analysis of all bids Mr.
Montague declared could not be
made. VA tricky contractor can get
away from any restriction," he told
the committee.
' Penalty Too Heavy.
"Don't yon think it would .be well
to let members of the commission
speak for themselves and for you not
to tiy to hide behind' them?" asked
Senator Thomas. "Vou are not
speaking to the purpose of this bill."
"I am not trying to hide behind
them. Montague answered. "An
other objection 1 have to the bill is
that tie' penalty you urge for vio
lation Is all out of proportion to' the
offense. There is always a chance
that violations may occur through er
ror, and your penalty is a term In the
penitentiary."
A. J, Hill, manager for the Warren
Constitution company, appeared be-
foie the committee and declared that
in his opinion no contractor! living
could meet the requirements of the
bill as to making statements required
in section 7. whlcn afttr blng
amended read as follows:
"All contracts which may " be
awarded for laying any patented
pavenunt or for the purchase of tiny
patented material, patented mixture
or patented process entering therein
shall be awarded the bidder submit
ting the lowest aggregate bid. Such
aggregate bid shall. In the case of
patented pavement, be considered as
the sum of the amo'ints designated
for royalty and for materials, labor,
machineryt bitrre. profit, and other
Items relevant to the actunl perform
ance of the work."
Mr. Hill declared that in the last
two years no contractors has estimat
ed within 25 per '-ent of actual fig
ures, and that if ihey do not submit
accurate estimates under the bill
th?y are liable.
."Whyiot bid in sections and give
the hixhwav engineer a cbance to
analyze each?" asked Thomas.
"No twopersons can agree," an
swered Hin. "and then fa penitentiary
sentence looms."
"The intention," said Senator Dim
ick, 'Js simply tohave the bids sep
arated when the aggregate bid is es
timated. Then the engineer can sec
who is getting tbn undue piofit and
who the reasonable profit."
