Next Step Will Be Advertis
ing of Bids for $265,
000 Construction Local
Labor to Be Specified
Plana for the new $265,000 Jackson
county courthouse will be completed
' by October 1, according to J. Q. Link,
alrchltect, who has a force of five
' men now engaged In lthe work.
With the completion of toe plana
and all details connected therewith
the next step will be advertising for
bids and awarding of the contract.
In this latter action the county court
will probably be assisted by the re
cently named advisory committee,
composed of citizens of this city and
Ashland.
A score of Oregon and county con
tractors have taken out qualification
blanks, which under the Oregon law
they must fill out and submit, before
bidding on public work. The law
also requlrea that the successful
contractor provide ample bond for
the completion of the contract.
The specifications now in the
hands of the contractors, contain a
clause providing that Jackson county
labor and products be given prefer
ence, all things being equal.
A system Is now being evolved
whereby there will be no confusion,
and labor applicants will be required
' to fill out a blank setting forth their
financial status, dependents, age, ex
perience, and other details.
The first work will be the excavat
ing. It Is planned to start the work
so it will provide Jobs during the late
fall and winter.

be necessary to raise a sufficient
amount to match, dollar for dollar,
all appropriations that may be made

relief of Oregon citizens. And If the

$10,000,000. and other cities should
vote bonds proportionate to their
wealth."
"The problem of redeeming the
bonds of the federal government, the

WASHINGTON. Sept. 17. (AP)
A charge- that the farm board would
wait Indefinitely for a perfect solu
tion of the wheat surplus problem
while the wheat farmer perishes, was
made today by a group of Pacific
Northwest grain men.
The group, headed by Representi
tlve Summers, republican, Washing
ton, yesterday was notified the board
rejected their proposed "Walla Walla"
plan for disposal of surplus wheat
and the reduction of acreage next
year. ,
"The board will wait Indefinitely
for the perfect plan while the wheat
farmer perishes under surplus pro
duction," the group said In a state
ment before departing for home.
"We have made an honest, deter
mined effort to put in operation a
plan to cut surplus production which
the board haa always said must be
done If wheat prices are to perma
nently advance. The board has re
jected the plan. . We have asked for
a modified plan but the board offers
no concrete plan to accomplish the
thing they saj must be done."
