had waited for pesos before tackling
the job.
Now there ia just on«* method of
procedure that will make the »tale

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

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

So Mr Commissioners. use a little
