THE EUGENE REGISTEB-GTJARD July 5, 1933. Page Two Coffin for concerted efforta by Orcfoo lumbermen tod the Orejon state hlabwaj commission to amend federal specifications to permit wider uie of timber is bridjes, E. E. Martin, Eugene lumberman and engineer, seta forth the views of the lumber indui try here in a letter to the Beeister Gusrd. The letter follows: "I read with interest the article In Fridaj'a edition and your editorial in Tuesday'e edition regarding the uae ad lumber in tbe proposed Coast highway bridges. Making a mild state ment, portions of tbe interview given by one of the state highway commis sioners are open to very serious argu ment, first the intimation thst as these bridcee are to be built with federal tponejrs, local interests are not concerned with the material used nor the costs. All reports which 1 have seen show that only 30 per cent of this money it a direct gift while 70 per cent must bo repaid at aome time in some manner, but if it were all an outright gift, Oregon ia cer talnly iniei rated in getting the largest and most economical returns from It. The statement was made that the cost o'. treated wood structures would be as !ar;e as for concrete ones; if my memory serves me risht, the sute highway commission's bridce engineer," Mr. McCnlinngh, at a meeting of the West Sitie Pacific Highway associa tion held In Corvallis in May of last year made a comparison between the cost of the then new Bogue river concrete bridge and tbe estimated cost of the proposed composite wood and concrete bridge which he was then designing for the Coast highway at WaMpcrt and stated that the cost of the Waldport bridge per lineal foot would be api.roiimately 60 per cent of the cost of the Rogue river bridge and also that the eipected life would be 40 yeara as compared with the 30 attributed to Mr. Washbui ne. It seem ed to me after looking at Mr. Mc Cullough's plans at that time that he was going to make a real contribution to the use of wood in highway struc tures. "While untreated and unprotected wood may be subject to damage by the salt air of the coast, this damage would be slight when compared to the damage done to steel In the same use and with the same treatment A ateel structure so located wonld require constant maintenance if it were to give any appreciable life. Tbe rail roads are large nsers of both trested end untreated timber and I quote from pamphlet published on the subject in 1932, (The Southern Pacific com pany states, "We have been using M. J.B.

Regarding fire baiard, it ia true of course, that thought must be given to protection, but it is bard to con ceive ot tne proposed laaport nn across a river bottom flat, being sub ect to very much fire hazard if built of wood with a concrete deck aa ori ginally proposed by Mr. McCullough. The protection of a wooden atrurture from fire Is a matter of common aense precaution and planning. ,i .MnMllniii are the only obstacle to the use of wood, why has not this matter oeen orouiui i the attention of the state long before tbe commission has seemingly com mitted the state.

The districts aside from Creswell to be included in tbe proposed union district are Bear Creek, Cloverdale. Samae Swale, Upper Camaa Swale and Howe. When the petitions are filed the county boundary sends out notices of a meeting of the board on a certain date and if there are no remonstran ces the board votes to create the union district. If there are, the board then orders an election in each of the districts. There is considerable interest in tbe matter of the formation of the new district. Superintendent Moffitt said. Several meetings have been held in each ot the districts affected and the sentiment appeara to be in favor of the plan, it waa stated. The Cres well high school baa been handling all high achool pupils 'from these other districts for a number of years past, eac paying the usual tuition. The Creswell achool board has made three offers to the proposed union district- First, it agrees to lesse the entire upper floor of the present building for a period of five yeara at SI a year together with the gymnasium. Second, to sell all the furniture and fixtures and library of the Creawell high achool for 32500 in yearly in stallments of 500 each.

There waa practically no support for American currency and much un certainty prevailed because of the knowledge that a large bear position exists. Gold currencies were better, es pecially the Dutch guilder. PARIS, July 5.

STORY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) proached and assurance was given that Premier Mussolini would sup port the agreement of the four coun tries here. Surplus Diminishes Morgenthau stated tbe next Amer ican crop of wheat would be the next to the lowest ever harvested in the country since 1893. This condition, he said, would lead to a diminution ia tbe American surplus. Australia, he added, had agreed to limit exports and not to create any reserve stocks. She may achieve this by denaturing her wheat or by feed ing it to animals. Exports are not to be based on production, but on exports which have taken place dur ing the last three to five years. Morgenthau declared it was pos sible wheat would not become the first primary commodity which would reach a price to give farmers a living income. Committee Thanks Workers on Picnic W. T. McDonald, feneral chairman of the committee in charge of the California State ' picnic held here Sunday, Wednesday expressed the thanks of the committee to those who assisted in making tbe event a success.

Tbe pronouncement declared It been "our obvious duty" to take stand "on the minor issue of tem porary stabillsaton" which was ex pressed previously. Two tasks were em pb a Blued as great Importance and desirable to discuss in the conference rntstng prices, and secondly, preserving the stability of adjustment once it is achieved. Linked with this as a subject consideration was "the part which gold and silver should play after ad justment had been secured."
