division, Herbert Hauser, state su

meant the elimination of six audit
ors previously employed in the field.

fused to authorize a deficiency ap
propriation of $30,000 for the re
mainder of the biennium.
Reports that the department had
retained all so-called "deadwood
employes, recommended by the ad
ministration, were denied by Hauser
ana otner department officials. Hau
ser said that in reducing the staff.
seniority was the first consideration.
"All of our employes were effi
cient," the supervisor declared, "and

first in seniority were retained. He
stated that no formal complaint
relative to the operation of the
transportation division since the
staff was reduced had been received.

cast a vote in the final decision, he
stated that he acquiesced In the
action of the committee, in view of
the fact that unanimity did not

rather than go ahead In a half
hearted manner,'" he added.

OREGON ACTIVE
Oregon has been a pioneer in
highway engineering and rood le
gislation as well as in political re-
lorms, aiaie Highway Engineer R.
H. Baldock said today.
Oregon is the first state to use
the old Roman method of heavy
foundation for road buildings, thus
saving about S2.000.000 in mainte
nance in the past eight years.
The Oregon state highway de
partment first devised the present
method of oiling, now universally
used. A center line striping ma
chine recently designed and per
fected by the highway department
has been widely copied elsewhere.
Furthermore, Oregon is the only
state using hot patching plants by
which pavement can be kept
smooth for years at a minimum ex
pense. About 70 per cent of contracts
awarded In cooperation with new
deal government aid have been
completed, and all projects probably
will be finished by the end of next
year.
Since the passing; of the federal
aid act in 1916, the state has spent
approximately $100,000,000 for road
building in cooperation with the
national government.-
