So with the loss on bond m I bb and the high cost of labor over normal * < V?’ . it:. times, we are likely to get very many lew* miles of road than If we had waited for pesos before tackling the job. Now there ia just on«* method of procedure that will make the »tale good roads commimion popular and make future issues of bonds pos sible. The commission should Hally refuse to sell bonds for leas than par value. True, this might delay the completion of the highway which Portland autoiats so much desire. But If tcese same highway boosters will boost the selling price of the bonds to pyr, the delay need not be incured. Another wise step for the com mission would I m * to establish a cement plant and so get the cement at absolute cost. Even if I 100.000 should be thus spent, the saving over what private owners will supply the cement, would be several times that sum. Moreover, we are likely to have many I W. W a doing time in prison and the cement plant would furnish ideal employment fur them. Should the price of cement be thus reduct'd, jwviiig contractors would bid half the sum they now demand and make as much or more money. And should the dslav of paving lie held off a couple of years, the patents on pavement will have run out ami the expense of royalty would be saved. Let the commission go forward at once, sell the bonds for what it can get ami let paving contracts while labor is scarce and high, the people will not vote other bond is sues as readily as thia one was voted. So Mr Commissioners. use a little diplomacy in thia matter. Just say to these road boosters, get in and buy the bonds at par if you want the roads paved. Give them that alternative ami the bonds will sell dollar for dollar. both far rural hastens tn get married just to have an excuse to ask exemption, is the I mort despicable and the ruling that II ,ud) marriage will not supply cause I All Mud Make Good The California Council for defense satisfactory rules that the hen must lay 140 egv« a year to justify her existence The standard heretofore has town 120 Young man, you who are able- ; bodi«j, »re asked to simply do vour eggs.
