Itoscburg, Ore., ftopt. 20. Oregon
now bus under contnui $17, 500,000
worth of road work, of which some
$13,0011,000 worth is 'in Western

$'.,600.ihiQ of federal road money Is
apportioned to Oregou., The state
bonding limit, as at iireseut set by
the 'constitution, is $20,000,000.
Therefore Oregon must either con
tent Itself with lens roads or extend
through the initiative Its constitu
tional 'bonding limit.
These are the conclusions reach-
is! by R. A. Iloolh. tate highway
conmilssloner, and set forth by him
In a talk to the Oregon judges and
commissioners.
On the face of prospective in
come from automobile licenses, gas

Mr. Iloolh estimates further bond
Issue ran be made. In the event
that they ate unauthorized by the
people, without Increase of the
present taxes, and he thinks that at
the next general election the limit
should be extended to make possible
a bonding total of $25,000,000 or
$30,000,000. The revenues for the
year year are estimated by Mr. Booth
as follows:
License, about $l,r00,000; gas
tax. about $100,000; mill tax, $250,-
000 to $300,000.
The sentiment for good roads.
says uMr. Booth. Is pressing the
commission too hard, causing er
rors, delinquencies' and waste. Out
of about 100 contractors, he says.
there are only 13 that are not de
linquent, apd these are merely up
to the 'contract requirements in
point of time. Road work In Ore
gon is also costing more than was
estimated for these three reasons;
The roadbed and surface are wider
than first planned; the base is
heavier; the cost of equipment, ma
terial and labor Is very much more
than formerly. 1
