In the first place, Mr. Kern believes
the county has been handicapped by
the tentative agreement made with
the state highway commission be
fore the county court came into the
negotiations.
He is o f the opinion
that to obtain the credits due Coos
county for expenditures made in the
past will not be an easy matter, for
on his estimate, the coAnty will be
entitled to nearly $400,000 credit for
various highway improvements made
since the former bond issue.
On the practically established bas
ic of 50-50 construction, as agreed
to for Coos county by Charles Hall,
Mr. Kern is none too confident we
■hall profit very much, for the rea
eon, that he is doubltful of receiving
the just credit the county is entitled
to. He referred in bis talk to the old
understanding when the first bond is
sue was mam, to the effect that the
commission
then
state
highway
agreed to match the expenditures. He
says the commisiaon is, of course,
obligated by that agreement, but
whether it will stand by it, is what
ia worrying him. Among the expen
ditures that would deserve credit from
the state highway commission would
be the county highway bridge for
which bids were opened Tuesday at
Coquille, amounting on estimates to
$75,000. This is a portion o f the high
way system on thè map; an expendi
ture o f $50,000 on the county read be
low Bandon;-other expenditures south
o f Coquille toward and beyond Myrtle
Point, and the work done on the Glas
gow to Hauser highway, all o f whieh,
save that for the bridge, being large
ly from money accruing from the bond

Nearly Up to Pre-War Price*
Milk is telling for $3.82 a hundred
pounds in Portland. That ia 16 per
cent lass than $3.00, the highest
price ever reached during and follow
ing the war. We know o f no other
farm product that ha« fallen in price
ao Mttle as milk. Nearly all farm
crops are back to pre-war prices and
many of them art 60 per cent leas
than the maximum reached during
and
following the
srar.— Oregon
League Dairyman.
Mr. Kern, in referring to the
Roosevelt highway said that so far
as he was able to learn at Portland
when the cenfesance was held last
week, there is actually no expectation
that any money will be expended on
the project within two years, and at
the end of that time, he declares, the
$2,500.000 voted will revert to the
general state road fund. Commis
sioner, Kern is not expecting to hear
anything definite from the state high
way commission for some time, he
said, bu t he set no date.
Referring to “ the old understanding
when the first bond issue was made,”
we are quite sure that it was not a
50-50 proposition as stated but that
we heard Mr. Adams, one o f the first
commissioners under the new law, at
n meeting in Marshfield promise that
the commission would carry out the
pledge before made to Coos county by
a former body— that the state would
build the Roseburg road. But there
have been so many changes in the
commission since Mr. Adams’ day and
so long a time has elapsed without
the fulfillment o f the pledge that it
may not be considered binding now.

The mayor then asked that proper

from the tenor o f their remarks it ap
peared that most all the residents o f
