Despite the fact that the first two years were war years and little was done except prep aration, and that the real start was not made until 1919. yet the re sults . achieved in the ten-year period are interesting when com parisons are made, i ln 1916 there were 33,917 mo tor vehicles' registered, and the motor vehicle license fees collect ed amounted to 1146.2X2.

The writ was is sued following arguments in a mandamus proceeding instituted by A. G. Spexarth. a taxp'ayer of Clatsop county who charged that under the estimate as made by the county court the tax levy for the county was at least $100,000 in excess of the amount needed. In his complaint Spexarth set out that the county court had es timated the receipts for the rfext year" outside of taxes at $42,000. whereas receipts for the past 11 months had exceeded 5142.000. The state law requires that esti mated receipts be itemized and set out in detail whereas the county court of Clatsop county had made its estimate in a lump sum.

FRATERNAL HALL HIT BY EARLY MORNING FIRE Con,inu-J from page 1) that no new state highways bejnltv of the nation added to the state highvay map until the present ysteni is com pleted, or, at least, farther ad vanced, declaring that the present system which covers approximate ly 10 per cent of the publicr road mileage- Is adequate to rover the needH. of be'stateT. In his con nection te report calls attention to the fait that in the state of Washington the state highway mileage is approximately 75 per cent that of Oregon, while the motor vehicle registration is 50 per cent greater, while in Cali fornia with a motor vehicle reg istration seven times as grat as that of Oregon ti? state highway system is only 4 6 per cent greater. That highway traffic has fully kept pace with highway improve ment is indicated by a comparison ef surveys conducted by the high way department on various roads at different times. For' instance, on the Pacific highway near Wolf Creek at the time the count .was taken in 1921. only 319 vehicles were counted during the day. This traffic had increased to 1250 in a day at the same point in 1926. A change in the character of traffic using the highways is also shown in a study of these surveys, which shows that during the biennium of 192:5-24 horse drawn vehicles constituted 1.33 per cent of all traffic over state highways. whereas in 1925-26 this character of traffic had dwindled down to 0.62 per cent. In the same period Oregon passen ger automobiles had increased from 69.42 per cent of the total traffic to 70.76 per cent. In the biennium just ending the highway department has spent a total or S23.314.793.83. including $18,538,414.20 of state funds, of cast, are dcMghtful "In theif re spc'cU".' roles.
