The woman who thought she was
coming to "a California mansion'
and found instead an abandoned
pool hall took her two children
Saturday and started back to
Georgia.
It was the end of a dream for
Mrs. Lois Wood. 28, who came
west to answer an advertisement
in an Atlanta newspaper by Thom
as P.' HalL 60. steel worker, for a
housekeeper.
HalL' who paid the train fare
for Mrs. Wood and the children,
took her to his homo in the aban
doned pool hall. Mrs. Wood left
immediately and appealed to San
Mateo County authorities.
Saturday, using fare sent by her
parents, Mrs. Wood and the chil
dren boarded a bus on the long
way back to Buford, Ga.
Hall's advertisement sought
housekeeper for himself and his
11-year-old son to work, in a very
nice home'
Mrs. Woods said she took tho
description to 'mean "a luxurious
home in Southern California, sort
of a mansion." ' - -
Hall said he had planned to
gradually improve the place. He
declined to pay Mrs. Wood's fare
home, saying that wasnt.ln the
bargain.

Construction
PORTLAND CIV-The chairman
of the legislature's Highway Inter
im Committee .said Saturday that
road construction in Oregon would
virtually stop if voters should ap
prove the highway measures on
the November ballot.
Revenue for such construction
would be cut to a. mere trickle,
said State Sen. Elmo Smith, John
Day, chairman of tho committee,
who said he based bis estimate on
an opinion prepared by C W.
Enfield, chief counsel of the State
Highway Department.
Smith made public a 14-page op
inion prepared by Enfield on the
ballot measures. One la a referen
dum, sending to the voters an
act passed by the latest legisla
ture to boost weight-mile taxes
on trucks. The other la an initia
tive measure to limit road taxes
to registration fees and a gasollD
tax: The trucking industry is spon
soring the ballot measures.
.The opinion said these measures
would wipe out all present taxes
except the fuel tax. Smith estimat
ed this brings In about 29,600,000 of
the total $48,825,000 now avail
able for highway purposes.
Under the present system-114,:
123.000 la available for highway
improvement, he said. If the meas
ures are approved, this would be
cut to $829,000 a year, he estima
ed.
"From this opinion it la evident
that Oregon's highway funds and
construction program would be In
a chaotic mess and unpredictable
for .years to eome should the
amendment pass. Any acts of the
legislature Mn attempting to re
vise the present registration fees
In accordance with the provisions
of the amendment would bo sub
ject to court action or referen
dum, Smith said. --
