sorbing qualities of asphaltic
concrete tend to minimise the
force of impact, thus protecting
the base from these destructive
qualities.
The Oregon State Highway
Commission used asphaltic con
Crete reconstruction on a portion
of the Coast Highway during
the last summer. The original
pavement was but 8 feet in
width, and was badly in need of
repair. The pavement was wid­
ened to 16 feet by the addition
of asphaltic concrete shoulders 5
feet wide andj 3 inches thick.
The entire width was later re­
surfaced with 2 inches of as­

A letter has been circulated
among the teachers throughout
the state signed by a reputed
M. D., but whose name cannot
be found in the directory, in
which the assertion is made that
State Superintendent of Public
Instruction J. A. Churchill is on
the verge of a mental collapse
and will enter a private sanitari­
um for treatment. It is evident­
ly gotten up by his enemies who
are after his official scalp. We
do not believe there is a word of
truth in it. But it is a very des­
picable way to cast discredit on
an official who had so won the
confidence of the people that he
was reelected at the last election
by a large majority, and very
little opposition.
