' ment, in Irs recommendation of
November 19. stepped outside Its
proprietory bounds m passing on a
matter that was purely one of pol-fc-r
rath than technical matter.
In policy matters, the public
should be entitled to consideration
- above the engineers.
Fourth, there-is teas state "high
way mileage in Marion and Clack
srmas counties than most other
jMitt lift ftAft
Fifth, no 20-foot highway, as
now. proposed, will handle an ap
preciably larger amount of traf
fic than the present 1 8-foot high
way. The four-foot Increase wakes
no room tor passage; only increas
es speed.
Marioa County Has
Something Coining
Getting down to cold figures,
the meeting heard that $82.00.
999 was expended by the state atrd
federal government tor Oregon
roads from 1917 to December 31.
1939; that Marion county contrib
ted to the state nigfe way fund
f 4.176,000; that Marion county
received Sl.144.000. or 1.4-. per
- cent of the total, from the huge
mm. Only six counties receired
less than Marlon county.
Lane county, contributor of
'13.00.009. receired S,05UM0.
Cwrcy county, one et the smallest
contributors, receired S2.SO0.O00
tor road construction.
The traffic count, taken at Au
rora, 25 sailes from hoary Ealera
traffic and 15 miles from naaw
local traffic at Oregon City, show
ed 3 m vehicles passing in a day
The same day. 3000 vehicles pass
ed tbVjuoctlon o'f the East and
West Side Pacific highways at
Junction Ctty, 2400 the Columbia
River and Mt. Hood highways
Junction, and 1700 the Junction
of the Columbia and The Qalles
CaWornia hint-way.
"The traffic count signifies,
nothing of real comparative use of
highways, except that use of the
. Portlaod-Salem stretch exceeds (
the maximum traffic at all points ,
ia Oregon." Craia declared.
Traffic Bottled .
At Oregon City
Harvey .Starkweather. Instru
mental In devftapment of the west
aide Willamette VlW route into
Portland: from Oregon City, told
of means of getting this road and
of costs, and stressed the neces
sity of securing a wider traffic
rout south to tie In with this
f oar-lane route Into Portland.
This route, he said, has been as
sared and six miles of right-of-way
has actually been purchased
at a cost of 2202,000. He said the
l read would be open In 1933.
Grading for this six miles was
done largely under the federal
government unemployment relief
Starkweather and ethers touch
ed upon the proposal of a broad
road from 8alem through Cham
poeg to Portland, entering from
the wrest side et the Willamette
It was the sestiment that the Pa
cific nigh way Salem - Porland
route should bo pushed above all
else now, but that this historical
route should come later and be
given full support.
The heaviest traffic district In
the state between the capital and
the metropolis, should be given
firmX consideration now by the
- highway eomiafsstoa. With the
c umber et vara and lateral routes
' Increasing, it traffic wHI show
an even greater burden," O. D.

KEEPS EVEN KEEL
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 27
(AP) Industrial operations con
tinued on an even plane, on the
average, In. October as compared
with September, the San Francis
co Federal Raaerva bank report
ed for the twelfth district today.
Possibly the outstanding event
in the region. Including the three
Pacific coast states and the four
contiguous neighbors, was the
decline in the demand for money
to hoard. The banking situation
showed less strain than a month
ago.
Marketing of agricultural pro
ducts increased In October, as Is
customary. Rainfall was benefi
cial for pwnUag new crops, and
did not Interfere with harvesting
of the old.
Flour mills continued to in
crease activity after the Septem
ber upturn. There was also add
ed -production of cement. Lum
bering and construction declined
however, contrary to the usual
seasonal movement. Output of
non ferrous metals changed only
slightly.
Retail sales Increased In the
district, but the gain was slight
ly less man the customary September-October
rise. The whole
sale trade activity also failed to
gala seasonally, as was the case
with freight carload lngs and reg
istrations of new automobiles.

southeast to connect with the line
norheast from San Francisco.
West Side Route
Readily Attained
As a result or these situations.
two proposals left open to the
Great Northern hare been suggest
ed. The first, the mors readily at
tained, and excellent for passenger
traffic, would be to utilise the Ore
gon Electric from Portland to Eu
gene, apply for common user over
the Southern Pacific to Klamath
Falls, and then south on Its com-
pleted link. This would also serve
to make the Oregon Electric a
main line instead of a dead end.
The other proposal, to sec a re
freight tonnage, would Involve
new construction Into Coos Bay.
Again the Oregon Electric would
be used from Portland to Eugene.
From this point an extension
would be made from Eugene to
Lorane, going southwest, which
stretch has already been surveyed.
TJmpqua Route to
Sea Is FfMMlble
From Lorane the proposed
route, based on surreys and en
gineering Investigation, would ex
tend southwest to the TJmpqua riv
er above Elkton. From here it
would follow the river to the Coos
river watershed above Scottaburg.
From this point the road would
follow the river Into Coos Bay.
This route would tap timber ton
nage and give the Great Northern
an outlet to the sea.
Speculation at the present time
does not carry the route further.
but this line would make it pos
sible for the Great Northern to
build on south along the coast to
San Francisco, giving the line a
direct route into the bay district.
Neither President Budd nor
Commissioner Thomas would com
ment upon these proposals when
questioned.

Nursery License
Issuance Short;
Deadline Passed
Forty-six nursery licenses have
been Issued In Marion county with
about 20 nurseries yet to be heard
from. County Inspector Van
Trump reported Friday. Nursery
licenses are supposed to be re
newed by An gust each rear, he
said, since shipments after that
date without a license are unlaw
ful. Licenses are issued on an acre
age basis or according to volume
of business transacted. This grad
uated scale makes the license fee
fair to small growers who come
under the law, not penalising
them too heavily.
