disease control committee filed
''discussed.
The report includes five
recommendations laid down as
follows:
Two additional county veterin-
aries be appointed, making :
total of six, and the area be
equally divided between them,
Each man to be designated as
county veterinarian and made
responsible for his area to the
court. The committee recom
mends Dr. Glen Swenke, Wood
burn, and Dr. E. J. Hinkle, Sil
verton, as capable men.
Each veterinarian, recom
mends the committee, shall test
all female bovine animals and
bulls over six months of age,
both beef and dairy in his area.
at least once each year.
"If it should be necessary for
one veterinary to go into an
other's territory to make a test,
he shall report in writing to the
doctor whose territory he was
the name of the herd, the
number of cows tested, and the
results of the test. The commit
tee believes that herd owners
wanting a different veterinary
should apply to the court to keep
this practice to a minimum.
"That veterinaries be instruct
ed by the court to assure them
selves that all female animals
owned by the operator are being
tested. The committee believes
that owners will hesitate to make
a false statement about their
numbers if specifically asked by
the veterinary. That veterinaries
be instructed to make a special
effort to test range cattle dur
ing the winter months while they
are on feed and within the com
pulsory test area."
Signing the report are Alvin
Robinson, chairman; Manton
Carl, Hubbard; Louise Hennies,
Turner; H. A. Barnes, Silverton;
Floyd Bates, route 9, Salem;
Adam Hersch, route 5, Salem;
Lloyd Sletto, Lyons, and Neil
Miller, Woodburn.
The county court tabled the
report temporarily. Investigation
is to be made as to its authority
to add the two veterinarians to
the present staff as well as their
establishment as county veterin
arians, instead of one veterinar
ian and deputies. Also the matter
of the authority of the veterin
arians to require herd owners to
sign a statement that they have
presented all their herd for test
ing is to be inquired into.

Status of Short
Cut Road Sought
The state highway commission
wants to know the status to the
long-interrupted Wils o n v i 1 1 e
highway, started in 1935 as a
shortcut between Salem and
Portland by way of Hubbard.
Highway Engineer R. H. Bal
dock was instructed to bring in
a report at the September meet
ing of the commission outlining,
why the road was started and
why it has not been finished.
Four miles of the road, from
near Hubbard to the Marion-
Clackamas county line was fin
ished years ago. Another four
mile stretch from West Portland
to Boones Ferry road, is also
completed. But there is a 10 mile
stretch that has not been im
proved and two bridges, one
across the Willamette at Wilson
ville and the other over Tuala
tin river, must be constructed
before the road can be declared
a completed project.
Detroit Road
(Continued from Pane 1)
A delegation of more than 30
persons representing the San
tiam Dedication committee, and
headed by Ed. Vikers of Detroit,
urged official opening of the
road prior to August 14, a date
set for dedicatory services.
No promise would be given by
the highway commission as to
an opening date, this they said
rested with the bureau of roads.
State Highway Engineer R. H.
Baldock, was authorized to con
fer with both federal agencies
and report to the commission
when its requirements had been
met.
Road in Poor Condition
That the North Santiam high
way between the damsite and
Detroit won't be in any very
good shape by the time of the
proposed dedication August 14
was reported by County Sur
veyor Dale Graham, who with
Ned Richards, county road fore
man in that area, went over the
new road Tuesday.
"The road is so rough and bad
nd dusty I doubt if anybody
else much besides Ned Richards
could drive over it," said Gra
ham. "He's been road foreman
up there, I don't know how many
years, and can drive over any
kind of a' mountain in that area,
but at times I wasn't sure we'd
make it, even with Ned at the
wheel."
Graham said the section has
not even been graveled and at
one place huge boulders and
rocks were falling around the
car where a drag line was being
operated on a side hill.

The answers to everyday
insurance problems
Br SID BOISE
QIllvKTION: The other day a friend and
I were dlsoiinnliiR thin "Home Own en
Liability" Insurance and a question
came up thRt you may be able to
answer. Is lhc properly owner alwayn
liable for dnmnKCs In accidents that
happen on his property?
ANSWER: No, of course not. The prop
erty owner Is liable only In those acci
dents which occur because of his negli
gence. Suppose a person held to a ban
nister while climbing stairs In the
property In question and the bannister
gave way because the property owner
had neglected to keep lt In good repair.
Any resulting Injury could be charged
to the property owner's negllRence. On
the other hand, If the stair climber slid
down a perfectly good bannister, and
was Injured because of that action, the
property owner could hardly be held
responsible.
If you'll addreJU your own Inauranc
questions to this office, we'll try to
live you the correct answers and there
will be no charge or obllaatlon sf any
kind.
