Abutment Found On Sooth Shore Also On, the south shore is another YeAy projection which will serve as an abutment. It will be near Wcdderburn, the settlement found ed by the pioneer fish packer on the north side . and eat of Gold Beach on the south bank. A small ferry operates over the river at this point, but during the vacationing season, traffic Is con siderably heavier as northbound the highway. At one time, according to com mission members, it was planned to construct a bridge over the Ro gue at this point and charge a toll as means of financing the con struction. Span Expected To Attract Many Autoists But the idea was abandoned. The com mission figured out a method to finance the bridge over the period required to built it. Commissioners believe the bridge will be so beautiful that many tourists will use the coast highway In preference to other routes. - Before leaving Marshfield, th3 commission promised that before the present year ends, the depart ment will place under contract an other section of the Oregon coast highway north of Gardiner and probably still another section north of that next year. The northern extension will further reduce the uncompleted gap of the coast road. SUPREME COURT IS OF (Continued from I'aee 1.) is that, under the 1929 act. the board of higher education is au thorized to allocate to the respec tive educational institutions, in accordance with its discretion, funds received through the various tax lexies, whereas, prior to the 1929 act, there was a specific as to the funds each institution should receive. "In conferring upon the board the power to allocate the funds, the legislature, in our opinion, did not surrender or abdicate any of Its sovereignty vested in it by the constitution. It did not delegate legislative authority to the board, but merely conferred upon it, as agent of the state, certain admin istrative duties. "The act of 1929 is a revisory statute. There is merely a contin uance of the tax levies previously authorized. No additional tax bur den will be imposed. It will be ob served that a tax levy of two and four hundredths mills equals in the aggregate the several tax lev ies made prior to 1929. Whether this act is held constitutional or unconstitutional, plaintiff, by rea son thereof, is obliged to pay the same amount of taxes. We can see no way In which he has been in jured. "In construing the statute we look to what the legislature had In mind to accomplish. Clearly there was rro intention to create addi tional funds. The allocation of the funds was the problem which the legislature undertook to and did solve."
