MAR KET R OADS House Bill 132, Providing for Construction,- Is Before Senate Committee. . . i In house bill No. 132, introduc ed1 by Representative Loyal M. Graham of Washington county, the up-state communities of Ore gon profess to see their greatest hope of securing adequate market road".' The bill has been passed by the house and is now before the ' senate committee on roads and highways. , Under the provisions of 7 this bill, according to its proponents. r h a cioia i a irtDralvl V nonl r tr i f a promise to the great body of farmers who - gave their support to the highway bond issues voted by the state, on the assurance that after the main trunk highways were- built the market roads would be constructed by the high way commission. ' ' . Bonds Issued On tnis assurance the counties have issued bonds for road con struction purposes, amounting to $21,976,444. Of this amount the counties have spent tor the prep aration of state -highway - base. grades , and drainage a total . of S12.747.047.94. divided as fol lows: Paid through the highway commission $6,747,047.94, con- slruction contrabted for and not yet completed $3,000,000. and spent" by the counties (estimated) but not- reported ..through the commission, $3,000,000 Graham's bill provides that as the state highway bonds are re deemed, , the money intended for such redemption shall be appor tioned to the counties in the pro portion that they have expended it for state highway construction. and the bonds re-Issued. This would call for the re-issuance of $15,433,250 of bonds to be re tired between now and 1933, of which amount only such bonds would be sold as would take care of the counties, or approximately $13,000,000. To Insure accurate distribution the bill provides that the coun ties shall submit a statement of their expenditures for state roads 1 to. the highway commission which shall be checked by that body and used as a basis of distribution.
