STATE HIGHWAY
REPORT SHOWS
Mil AW
6AIJEM, Dec' 21. During the last
two ysars the state highway commis
sion has expended $2,e$$,227 and
now has a balance on hand of $673,
532, according to the Diennlnl report
of the commission prepared tor sub
mission to the governor.
, The work accomplished during the
blcnnlum, says the report, includes
SO miles of hard surface pavement
laid, 11.8 miles of broken stone or
gravel, 134.5 miles of roadbed grad
ed, and 40 bridges constructed.
"With the close of the war aud the
prospect of declining prices of ma
terial and a more plentiful supply of
labor,'' says tho report, "the commis
sion looks forward to 1919 as a year
in which a great deal can be accom
plished and at this date a tentative
program has been prepared provid
ing for improvement of .the ' state
highways in every county in the
Slate. - . ' ''
' "Under the post' road law 17 pro
jects have been agreed upon, and to
date 10 have beta approved, three
disapproved, two rending and two in
preparation. Conttruction work has
been started on tv.-o of these pro
jects. Under the fo-est roild law 14
projects have been approved. Con
struction has been started on four
of these projects. Several will carry
over into the 1920 program.
"A railroad asphalt paving plant
was purchased but not used during
the 191 8 season, since no bituminous
pavements were constructed under
new contracts. In that period. Three
concrete pavers are owned by the
commission, as well as three road
rollers, four rock crushers and six
auto trucks, besides considerable
grading "construction equipment. A
large part of this equipment has been
In use this season and not only saved
the cost of rented equipment but
made it available at times when it
was impossible to get the same else
where."
The report says that the interpre
tation placed upon the federal aid
road law by the secretary of agricul
ture, requiring actual carriage of the
mails or a reasonable prospect before
approving as eligible for federal co
operation; eliminated from the c!.?
sification practically all of the Co
lumbia river highway and especially
HnkB in the Pacific highway in Doug
las county on which it was desired
tb receive federal aid.
The estimated cost of the post
road projects agreed on to date is
given at $1,409,993, of which IC27,
496 is to be paid by the government
and a similar amount by the state
and $155,000 by the counties.
Tho commission made surveys and
estimates for the various counties at
a cost of $137,954. It is mandatory
upon the highway , department ' to
make these surveys and estimates
when requests are received from the
counties, but the cost must be includ
ed in the 10 per cent limit allowed
the commission for all construction
work. The department has kept
within the 10 per cent limit, the re
port shows.

WASHINGTON'. Dec. 21. Every
effort 19 being made to arrange for
the delivery of mail consigned to
units which have been designated for
early return, the chief of staff said.
In cases where a majority of the
members of any unit have been or
dered home, the mall is held in the
United States until the organization
arrives and a report is mado of the
men left in France.' The mall ad
dressed to these men then is sorted
out and sent acros8. r
General March disclosed the- fact
that - the communication facilities
with the American forces in Hussia,
particularly lii the Archangel area,
have been very, unsatisfactory. The
war department itself has had diffi
culty in communicating Important
military instructions to the comman
der and only meagre dispatches have
como thru to this end.
General llarch said coast artillery
units which are being used ijpr army
and corps artillery are all. being re
turned to this country' but those
which were serving as divisional ar
tillery probably will stay abroad for
some time. '
