OREGON WEATHER Tonight and Friday (air, con- tinned cold; Easterly winds, OVERHEAD" AND "UNDERFOOT" The highway commission is charged with the responsibility of pending the money appropriated by a generous state for the construction ot the public highways. It spends the money, there is no doubt about that " Highways down' this way are us ually constructed through the mov ing of earth at so much a yard, and .tor the crushing of rock and the placing of the roadbulldlng metal in place. Then we have a road-bed over which traffic can more at the lowest charge per ton mile, and that to the whole Intent of road building. It Is to obtain that result that the taxpayer offers small protest when a free-handed legislature digs deeply Into the pubtfo purse tor the road building fnad. It the dollars were bringing the greatest possible mileage of good roads the public would have no kick coming. But there Is a suspicion that too tew of the 100 cents that constitute the dollar go for labor and materials upon the roads. The "over head" Is too great This suspicion to not allayed by the reading of a report of a meeting of the highway commission, though If the commis sion's whole duty Is to spend the money, then tt is not recreant to Its trust. The report of a meeting held Tuesday printed in the Dally Capital Journal of Salem, starts oft by telling that the request of the people of Wheeler county for state aid bad been refused. Wheeler county toted a bond issue of $80, 000, Its legal limit, and then asked that the state spend ISO, 000. That was the re quest that was refused. The follow ing Is the report of the balance of the meeting: "Authority was granted the state engineer to rent two rooms In the old Willamette University college of medicine building for the use of field parties. "A tentative state highway map was brought up. It will be offered to the legislature to name the state roads. It Is a sort ot plan for the building of future roads In the state, and Is intended as a suggestion for further work. "Authority was also given to spend money out ot the miscellaneous fund for the use ot several projects. This money will be used to complete . the Douglas county road map, and to pre pare project statements for Ruthton . Hill in Hood River county, one for a : project at Oregon City, one near Sher idan, and others. The amount In all will approximate $2,000. "Authority to print 1,500 copies of the bl-ennial report of the highway department was also given. "A letter from the secretary of agriculture asking what Oregon in tended to do over the federal allot ment to this state was read and the commission said provision would be ninde to take care of It so the state would not lose the money. "The sum of $2,000 was allotted to t'nlon and Umatilla counties to assist ' In completing the survey of the rnwl ' from La Grande to Pendleton, The ' total amount of thle survey will be I $6,000." It Is li-ft to tlio reader to figure ' out Just the reduction In the cost of hauling per ton mile that resulted from that session of tlio board. It . Is also left to the wisdom of the leg- islature who assemble In Salem next v month to find some place where ' some of the "overhead" ran bo lop- i. , ped off and more cash go to the i "underfoot" portion of the, 'stte highways.
