'It the people of Josephine coun ty expect to enjoy any of the bene fits of the $1S,000,000 road bonds la sue voted by the people of California at the last general election, they will have to act officially before the Cali fornia highway commission com pletes its plans, otherwise there will be no provision made for the propos ed road from Crescent City to the state line near Waldo." The foregoing statement was made to a Courier representative today by John T. Flynn of San Francisco, who recently addressed the people of Grants Pass on the subject of as auto freight service between Grants Pass and Crescent City. Continuing, Mr. Flynn said: "Under the California plan of road construction, there are to be two great highways, extending the entire length of the state, about 800 miles. One line Is to follow the coast from San Diego county to Del Norte coun ty, while the other will traverse the Interior, covering the Imperial, San Fernado, San Joaquin, Sacramento and Scott valleys, terminating at the stale line in the Siskiyous. Thla will afford a total of 1600 miles of roadways north and south indepen dent of laterals east and west. Importance of Coast Connection. "As no freight service can be es tablished over the valley route, by reason of the great distance to San Francisco, it is evident that if Jo sephine county is to profit by the California outlay it muBt be by the coast road rather than the valley. But California will not build east from Crescent City unless it Is offi cially assured that connection In to be made by a like road near Waldo. The 55 miles from Crescent City to Waldo would be a waste of public funds without a proper connection by Josephine county. The California commission would probably decide, an1 wlanlv an to tfirmlniltfl the COSSt j HUVI " j mvb vv - ; highway at the coast line of Curry 'county, with a view to Its ultimate j connection with an Oregon branch extending through Curry and Coo. counties to a valley connection at either Roseburg or Eugene. , . "As, two-thirds of the cost of the proposed auto road from Granta Pass to Crescent City woujd be borne by the state of California, while most of the benefits in the way of reduced freight rates would go to the pro ducers in the Rogue River valley, it seems to me that there should be but one opinion upon the subject. The distance from Granst Pasa to Cres cent City is approximately 100 miles. The distance . from Crescent City to the state line near Waldo, via the Elk creek route, Is 55 miles. This would be California's portion, covering expensive mountain con struction, while Josephine would have but 45 miles to build, on easy grades, and on a toad bed already in use. Legal Aspect of Road Law. "I think that Josephine county should proceed upon the theory that there is no defect in the law, Just as Jackson county is doing, in order that California may know officially, Instead of privately that a connection is to be had at the Del-Norte-J08e. phlne. line. If there is lrregmarlt, in the road law, let the supreai, court decide the. matter at the prop, er time and place. The Jack county authorities ordered the bond election without even the formality of a petition. They evidently a sumed that the constlutlonai nmmi. ment carried with it, by inference, the right to call an election in. the usual way, for the purpose of en forcing the provlslona of the amend, ment. In my opinion, the constitu. tional amendment Is simply n e& larged power to incur indebtedness, and needs no enabling act to make it effective. The right to call an elec tion for certain purposes existed be. for the adoption of the amendment' that right atill exists, and may bi properly employed to give life or force to any constitutional amend ment." .
