NICE WORK IF ETC.
Members of the Oreiron Trail association, nnpearinir be
fore the highway commission this week to urge more rapid j
construction of the new Columbia river highway, proposed :
that funds for the purpose be raised by the sale of bonds and
that the bonds be serviced by a toll charge. Funds so provided I
can be had at an insignificant interest cost, it was asserted
(one per cent was the figure named) and the example of the 1
sueci's.sful Pennsylvania turnpike was cited to support the
toll proposal.
No issue is taken here with any of the facts presented by '
the proponents of this plan. Reconstruction of the highway
is badly needed, money can be had at little cost and tolls may
be charged. We do suggest, however, that other sections of j
Oregon anxious for more speedy reconstruction of roads in
which they are interested watch the development of the plan
if it does develop with care. If they do not do so they are
likely to have worked on them a second time a clever scheme j
for the benefit of a particular section at the cost of the rest ;
of the state.
The first time the trick was worked was when residents of
the coast section dcveloied their bridge building program, i
This Columbia river proposal follows that program exactly. '
Bonds were to be sold, the bridges built and then the bonds ;
retired by tolls. Entering on the program the bonds were is- '
sued and the bridges built. When, however, the time came to
begin the collection of tolls the promoters moved in and se
cured their elimination thus forcing the payment of the bonds
onto the highway fund.
Apart from the vice of the double cross worked in this
manner the arrangement brought about a distinctly unfair i
situation to the rest of the state. That is, there had recently j
been established the plan of a quota allocation of funds to each 1
highway division. By securing the construction of the bridges j
through bond money which was not charged against its quota i
allotment the coast division gained a several million dollar ad-;
vantage. j
If this game is worked a second time then once more a ,
charge will be made against the highway fund for the benefit I
of a particular highway division and the other divisions will !
get theirs only alter the charge is satisfied. In this connec
tion, incidentally, it is to be noted that the Columbia highway
has already had the benefit of special allotments outside the
regular quota to which its division was entitled.
Other highway divisions had best watch out.
