PORTLAND, Ore., April 24. Pro
testa against the award by Die state
highway commission today of a con
tract for paving with concrete the
Astoriu-Kvensen section of the Lower
Columbia river highway for $10,000
more than the lowest bidder offered
to pave It with asphalt were ignored
by the commission. Representatives
of Commercial and civic organizations
of Astoria congratulated the commis
sion for accepting the bid for the con
crete pavement.
Hlmonson and Hefty of Portland re
ceived the contract for $261 .402.
whereas the bid of the Warren Con
struction company for asphalt was
$261, DDK
Jay Itowerman, former governor
and John b Logan, Portland attorney
protested against the concrete award.
Logan suld he objected both as a tux
payer und as representative of the
Warren Construction company.
Bowerman said he appeared on be
half of the LnOrandc commercial
club and that Its members asked that
all awards for this work on the Low
el' Columbia river highway he thrown
out, because there is already n good
rand there and that the money be ex
ponded in paving the Old Oregon
Trail from The Dalles east.
The federal bureau of good roads,
which will pay sixty per cent of the
cost of the Astorla-Hvenscn pavement
announced it favored the award as
mud.
Benton county succeeded In getting
Its long-hoped-for agreement with
the state commission regarding the
improvement of (iival Ms-Newport
highway from Corvnllis to Wren Sta
tion; nomo 8.3 miles.
Ronton county will put on a bond
Issue election, calling perhaps for
$60,000 this year. It was suggested
by Malone thut the Benton county
court also consider building a new
bridge over the Willamette river at
Corvallis, the present structure being
too old und narrow for the traffic.
The commission adopted u resolu
tion by Van Duzer expressing appro
val of ho attitude of the Htale Asso
ciation of County Judges and Com
missioners against the proposed ref
erendum on the socalled "bus and
truck bill," recently passed by the
legislature,'
