toll roads could pay for them
selves on only about 5.000 to
8.000 miles of the most heavily
traveled routes in the country.
"While the possibilities of
toll financing are not to be
overloaded, neither should the
public be deceived Into the no
tion tnat here is the cjL.W
i taxless cure to our highway
ilia," said R. M. Cettel, Univer
sity of California transporta
tion economist. It was he who
gave the 50-billlon-dollar high
way cost estimate.
The conference debated a
proposal of the Conference of
State Governors that the fed
eral government withdraw
from gasoline taxation, leaving
this revenue source to the
states. Federal highway aid
Fence Approved

Highway Commission yesterday
approved construction of a

around The Dalles dam. Cost

ette river tributaries.
On is the Cougsr Creek
Creek project on the South
Fork of the McKenzie river,
the other the Green Peter
dam on the oantiam river.
' Irrigation projects also re
ceived support The commit
tee urged congress to provide
money for a study of Yam
hill river water resources de
velopment, and called on the
reclamation bureau to study
the proposed Muddy Creek
snd Hopewell irrigation proj
ects in Lane and Linn coun
ties. Rep. Walter Norblad,
speaking at the annual meet
ing, said 40 per cent of the
money voted by congress in
the last civil functions appro
priations bill was for projects
in the Willamette and Colum
bia basins.
Rep. Homer Angell said In
a question-and-answer ses
sion that he believed congress
might well divert money from
foreign expenditures to devel
opment of natural resowci
at hor.ie.
This met objections from the
American Assn. of State Hiah-
way Officials, on the ground
that the states might not boost
their gas taxes to replace the
federal levy thus leaving less
money for road and highway
work than now la available.
Cettel suggested what he
termed an Interim solution: As
a state raised its gasoline tax.
the government would cut the
federal levy in that slit? by
the same amount. Direct state
revenues would be increased
by about a billion dollars a
year, with the funds being
available in the states where
the tax was collected.
"After a time the federal
government could repeal its
tax, and the state could then
adjust their taxes in the light
of highway conditions then ex
isting," Cettel said.
The meeting was expected to
draw about 350 representative!
of the state, local and federal
governments, industry repre
sentatives, and other before It
