The 1947-48 biennium saw the highway commission handle the largest construction program in its history. During 1944-45 the work of the commission was largely confined to projects of military need and importance and to such maintenance work as could be done with the per sonnel, supplies and equipment available. In October, 1945 clear ance was given on the federal aid postwar program and work was put under way on state financed projects which had been held up by wartime restrictions. Up to June 30, 1946 contracts had been let totalling approximately $13, 742,000, while several major con struction projects had been re jected because bids were too high, among them the Troutdale-Wah-keena Creek section of the new Columbia River highway align ment and the Front Avenue de velopment in oPrtland. Ben R. Chandler of Coos Bay, present chairman of the commis sion, was appointed October 1, 1946 to succeed Commissioner Merle R. Chessman of Astoria following his untimely death. Commencing in October, 1945 the commission turned its at tention away from chiefly war time activities to the task of re conversion to peacetime opera tions. Engineers whffhad been in military service commenced re turning to their old positions with the commission and the task of rebuilding the field forces to re place those who turned to the greatly increased demands of pri. vate industry was carried for ward. During 1947-48 the commission completed 112 highway construc tion projects of all classes and built 79 bridges, as compared with 53 projects and 9 bridges during the previous biennium. In 1947-48 a total of 1,438 miles of highway construction was done compared with 453 miles in the prior two years. In addition to construction the maintenance division of the com mission faced a greatly increased task, having 7,268 miles of high ways iind 2,400 bridges to keep :n good condition under the aug menled demands of modern traf fic, due to greater speed, heavier loads and equipment, growing population and industrial trans port demands. o STATE CIVIL SERVICE ANNOUNCES EXAMINATIONS Announcement was made to day by the Oregon State Civil Commissioner that open competi. tive examinations in six classes are to be given throughout Ore gon soon.
