Whilo the rainfall has not been

even ciaim that the county as a whole
will show a better than average yield.
While some damage has been re

POLK COURT DECISION
MARKET ROAD I UNlV-i HELD NC.'fi
PERMITTED ON STATE ROADS
Oilliain Section O.-W. Highway MiUiH
Await Supremo Court ,
Decision
The expected completion of thg
Oregon-Washington highway from
the Gilliam county line to Heppneil
Junction received a hard jolt last
week in a circuit court decision han
ded down in Polk county, the court:
holding that tho use of market roa.it
money is not permissable on statej
highways.
A similar situation prevailed Ui
Polk county as -well as in several
other counties where short section
"f construction were needed to con
nect up sections of highwr.y already
completed. The decision has the ef
fect of stopping all such work until
the matter can be carried to the sup
remo court for final deiision.
V. B. Barratt returned from Port
land Sunday evening ar.l is naturally
much chagrined by the decision. T'ho
highway commission has been under
stood to have considerable discretion
In such matters in their efforts to
get the highway, system as nearly
completed as possible , with tho
amount of money available. It was
with that end In view that they mado
an arrangement .with tho county
court of Gilliam county for tho com
pletion of the Gilliam link of the O.-
W. highway. The arrangement vas
satisfactory to the highway commis
sion and the people of Gilliam county
and it Is a disappointment. Unit
court decision in a distant part of tho,
sate should upset the phi,, mid leavo
the completed section f the highway
mummied from any connection with,
the hhway system l,y nine miles el
almost. Impassable road.
Whilono action has yet been taken
Mr. Barratt was of the opinion that
the highway comniiKHnn w-ill make u,
test of thu Gilliam county v.itui
and lake it to the supreme court t'oi
final decision.
The. contract had been let for thin
work to the Warren Construction
Co. and It was expected (),- Woi k
would have been completed by tho
end of this year.
