Sen. Morse Wins Approval
On Access Road Resolution
A resolution, sponsored by Senator Wayne Morse, providing
for $30,000,000 annually for construction of access roads into
governmental timber areas, was passed Tuesday, according to
telegram sent to the Capital Journal by the junior senator of
Oregon.
The resolution must now be
adopted by the house but Sena
tor Morse explains that if a
crowded, calendar prevents con
sideration before congress re
cesses It will be on the house
calendar ready for consideration
when the house reconvenes in
January.
When the resolution was first
up for consideration Senator
Cain of Washington objected
and presented a substitute reso
lution drastically different from
the Morse proposal. However,
Morse said that Tuesday Cain
asked only for an amendment
for public hearings on ten days
notice on any proposed access
road.
Morse said that Senators Taft
of Ohio and Watkins of Utah,
who originally objected to the
proposal, withdrew objections
and supported the bill.
It was a successful day for
Senator Morse because the sen
ate also passed his bill provid
ing for special housing for vet
erans suffering from paralysis
resulting in the loss of use of
both legs due to service connect
ed disease or injury.
This bill was endorsed by

spans from the Moore Drydock
company of Oakland, Calif.,
steel fabricators. The order was
to have been filled' a number of
months ago but the fabricators
were unable to obtain the raw
material in time.
It was stated that the steel for
the bridge is now being fabri
cated in Oakland and delivery
is expected In October. How
ever, this will be too late lor
beginning of the construction of
the spans and as a result the
work will not begin until March
of next year and final com
pletion is expected in August,
1950 instead of December 31,
1949 as contemplated.
The bridge contract was
awarded to the Macco company
on April 30, 1948, and actual
work began a month later.
During the steel shortage
throughout the United States,
which eased up about four
months ago, each steel fabrica
tor was allocated a specified
amount of raw materials.
The Oakland firm, highway
officials stated, probably con
tracted for delivery . of more
steel than could be fabricated
from the allocated supply with
the result that the order for
the Independence bridge was not
filled on time
When the bridge contractors
found that the steel deliveries
would be delayed, it was too
late to order steel from any other
fabricating concern.
The highway commission has
authority to assess the engineer
ing costs to the main contractor
for the period after the date set
for completion of the project
Under an attorney general's
opinion the state cannot collect
damages from a contractor who
fails to complete a job on the
time limit unless the state pro
vides a bonus for completion of
the job prior to the contract
conclusion date.
