Portland. Or.. Dec. 10. Unless
nrnvlsion la made for further
funds the state highway commls
eion will reach the bottom of the
nark in the enfrtitne year. Only a
few million dollars more are re
quired to finish all the roads the
ri.mmlanlnn is now working on.
The only way . that additional
funds can be obtained, however, is
for the constitutional limitation to
be tilted 1 per cent by the elec
torate of Oregon.
Without such revision of the
limitation the road program will
have to mark time and attention
be confined chiefly to mainten
ance. Such was the statement reiter
ated to various county courts at
the hearing of the highway com
mission yesterday by II. A. Booth,
chairman.. It gave the county
delegations something to think
abniit. esneciallv when the com
mission had to decline committing
Itself to divers and sundry re
quests fnr more road work.
Prnvlrllner the commission car
ries out the schedule which it has
agreed on for the coming year, all
funds at its disposal' will be con
' Binned. This includes about $1,
600,000 of county money, about
$2,000,000 of federal money and
- all the state money that Is still
' available out of authorized bond

The commission disposed, to ad
vantage, of the last block of the
original road bond issue, the $6-,-000,000
issue Of 1917. The block,
oonuiating of $560,000, coiumaud
ed a premium of $55,490, the price
per $100 being $109.91. Whllu
the bonds bear 6 per cent inter
est, the premium paid makes the
rate to the state 4.58 per cent. It
was August, 1919, that the com
mission last rocelved such a flat
tering bid for its securities. The
bonds were awarded to the First

syndicate.

Salem Best Site:
For World Fair
Man Points Out
If Oregon must stage a world's
fair In 1925 if that fair Is to be
financed by the taxpayers of the
8tate then it should be held la
Salem, according to J. 3. McMur
try, a prominent Philomath business-man.
Mr. McMurtry has pre
sented his views relative to the
exposition in a letter received this
morning by T. E. McCroskey, man
ager of the Salem Commercial
club. "
"Portlanders appear very en
thusiastic over the proposed fair
which, they say, will benefit the
entire state," Mr. McMurtry point
ed out. "Would they, be lis en
thusiastic if it were to be held In
Salem?"
Concerning Salem as a potential
world's fair site, Mr. McMurtry
says: "". ' .' ' '
"No more beautiful location
could be found In the state.
"It is more centrally located
than Pnrtland. .

terday was registered by the of
ficial thermometer In Salem at 7
o'clock this morning. The mer
cury hovered at the 27 mark. This
morning announced itself as be
ing yet the coldest of the win
ter. Another heavy frost covered
the city this morning. Automo
biles stuttered and proved reluct
ant to get underway when driv
ers approached them and street
cars were popular conveyances
for early morning riders
exnense of the exposition, then the
capital city of Oregon is the logical
location for the fair. '
Strong opposition from residents
nf hlo community will be forth
coming if Portland Insists that the
taxpayers should finance a ron
land fair, Mr. McMurtry stated.
He concludes:
"I favor an exposition at Salem
if the state votes to finance It, or
thev mav have it in Portland if
Portland and the state of Wash
ington wish to pay the bills."
