$810 Millions for Highways
Requested by R. H. Baldock
An annual outlay of $810 million in federal aid to states for
highway construction with the sum disbursed on the basis of
population was advocated by R. H. Baldock, state highway en
gineer, in an appearance before the public works committee of
the house of representatives in congress Tuesday.
,.m.- i i u,;iu,
ine peupic ihiBhwav netwnrk and second on
pay for good roads whether or
not they get mem, n oeciareo.
Baldock explained that if roads
are improved, the people will
receive benefits in lowered
transportation costs for the goods
they produce and consume, thus
off-setting the cost of the roads.
But, ho held, if the roads are
not Improved, the people pay the
penalty of deficient highways
through higher transportation
costs.
In asking for the Increased
federal aid, Baldock urged the
committee to drop tentative
plans to authorize federal aid
for. a tertiary .highway system
under the cry of taking the
farmer out of the mud.
. "First things must come first,"
he declared in urging that the
government concentrate first on
improvement of the inter-state
construction of primary and ur
ban federal aid highways.
These roads, lie held, are of
primary economic importance
and additionally are "absolute
ly necessary in the defense of
the nation." Most important
roads in the country were built
in the 1920s, Baldock said, and
these are wearing out at "an
alarming rate."
Baldock was ' presented by
Representative Homer D. An
gcll, Portland, a member of the
committee, who said that it did
not seem good business judg
ment to divert badly needed
funds from Important roads to
those of little or no importance,
Baldock told the committee
that increasing population in
Oregon has added tremendously
to its highway problems and that
practically all important roads
no longer are adequate to serve
the needs of the people. This
condition, he said, leads to his
objection to the tertiary road
system. If funds are diverted
to relatively unimportant road
purposes in the state it would
retard by many years the de
velnnment of an adeonate road
system in the stale, adding that
while some individuals might
profit from a program of aid to
minor roads, the community as
a whole would be hurt.
Baldock appeared before the
committee in his capacity as a
member of the executive com
mittee of the American Associa
tion of State Highway officials.

$100 a day actress, has
reversed her stories of being
starved to , keep thin for movie
roles, says Juvenile Judge A. A.

said last night after a long in
terview with the child.
He said she told him she had
never been beaten or starved by
her foster parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Otto Michel, and that they had
been wonderful to her.
Monday night the youngster
left the Michel's apartment and,
clad only in pajamas, took a cab
to the home of Rev. Alfred Sund

He said she told him, "I had
to get away, I couldn't stand it
any longer."

Big Parking
Lot Rumored
Establishment of a large pri
vately operated parking lot in
the downtown area was indicated
Wednesday when T. A. Roberts
of the firm of Hawkins & Roberts
admitted that a long term lease
has been secured on a quarter
block at the intersection of High
and Ferry streets.
While Roberts declined to dis
cuss details of the project, he
admitted that the land was se
cured for parking lot purposes
The property involved includes
the lot on which a filling sta
tion has operated for some years,
plus the large frame structure
just to the east which was built
in the horse and buggy days ana
was used as a livery stable. In
more recent years it has been
used as a storage garage. Wheth
er it will be razed, Roberts
would not state. The filling sta
tion has a "closed" sign posted.
The property adjoins on the
north the farm implement store
of Montgomery Ward & Co., and
the Pacific Fruit and Produce
company.
Rumor has it that a double
deck parking garage will be
constructed somewhere down
town. Jim Beard, president of
the Salem Retail Trade Bureau,
said at the recent businessmen's
mass meeting that at least one
parking lot would be established
in the downtown district.
