"Teatimonv shows that at least

settled territory and has but com
paratively little value in public

been taken by the company to re

tenance operation over this track
age.
Local Conditions Shown
"In Salem, testimony offered
to the effect that Jitney service,
competing only at the present
time with the so-called Fair
Ground line, collected approxi
mately $12 or $15 per day, which
cf course, reduces corresponding
ly the revenues of the street rail
ways, although members of tne
council of the city of Salem testi
fied their desire to co-operate
with tho management or the
street railway lines and express
ed a willingness to so regulate
jitneys that such competition
would be eliminated in the future.
Bitch contemplated action, howev
er is manifestly contingent upon
the nvevaiung street car fare.
Evidence of record at Eugene
was to the effect that an advance
in fares would unquestionably act
to promote Jitney competition.
this, being especially true as be
tween Eugene and Springfield.
"Considering the topography of
Eugene and Salem, and the facil
ity with which pedestrians and
bicycles go to and from the busi
ness "centers, we seriously ques
tion whether any Increase In fares
even It justified, would result in
increased revenues.
Tariff Issue Xot Raised
"Little or no testimony was of
fered by the applicant on the traf
fic situation," although it is rea
sonable to expect more diligence
on this phase, and the only study
was made by an engineer of the
eommiecion which developed that
the average ride In both Eugenn
and Salem were short, about half
that In th city of Portland. It
was observed at times that at
tempts to elicit information from
witnesses of the applicant were
frequently frustrated by evasivo
answers, such as no and yes,
sometimes varied to yes and no.
bo whatever effectiveness may
have been Intended, was not lost
by such lndefinitenes. This was
particularly true at the Eugene
hearing and while we do not for
a moment think that this method
of response was adopted dciiner
ntely or offensively by the wit
ness. yet the result would be the
same
"The commission has made an
earnest and studious effort to
make some comparisons with oth
er Ftreet car situations in and on
of the state of Oregon, but due
to the Incompleteness of the ap
plica t's presentation, the varying
density of traffic Jn the variOu
cities; lenth of haul; character of
equipment; size of rail; type of
paving-; construction of roadbed
and -other factors, our endeavors
were futile. Therefore, any as
sumptions on this premise could
and would, in our opinion, lead
only to fallacious and unwarrant
ed conclusions. i
Economy of Time Needed
' "We cannot in the Interests of
economy of time", assume respon
sibility which, under every fair
construction, is imposed upon the
applicant In a careful and com
plete preparation of its case. We
are always willing to check and
investigate facts and figures of
fered by witnesses, but that does
not mean that we conceive It to
be our duty to go into an exhaus
tive research to develop that
which in tha ordinary course ot
procedure should be presented in
the case direct."

On June 3, 1919, the people of
Marion county voted $850,000 for
the building of 100 miles of paved
roads and 50 miles, of graded lat
eral roads, all to be completed
within five years. The county
court was authorized to sell bonds
as needed.
First Bonds at Par.
On July 15. 1920. $170,000 of
the bonds were sold at par and on
January 19. 1021. bonds to the
valaue of $225,000 were sold, also
at par. With the sale made yes
terday, a total of $595,000 worth
of bonds has been sold.
As the year 1920 was very un
favorable for road building, and
as the county was just purchasing
its paving plants, only 11 miles of
paved roads were laid that year,
W. J. Culver, county road master
j said. Then in 1921, with four
paving plants running, the county
paved 20 1-3 miles. With the
paving plants all in good condi
tion, and also the fact that the
eounty has already graded 4 0
miles, Mr. Culver says that the
