SEENJY COURT Protest Would Lose $400,- 000 Federal Money for Local Workers Highway ' Head and Court Confer The county oourt. B. C. Washburne, number of the state highway com mission, and Ashland cltlziene will confer today upon the matter of ex pending M00.000 of federal money for the Improvement of the Pacific highway over the Blaslyous, which hae been protested by Ashland dis trict resident! on the grounds it wui Increase taxes and change the pres ent routs.

Blghway Commissioner Washburne was due to arrive eany mis aiter noon. The county court conferred with Ashland citizens on the sub ject 'yesterday. Would Be "Godsend" The position of the county court that the road work would be "a Godsend In relieving the unemployed situation In the county," and If the MOO ,0OO is not expended In this sec tion, It will be spent somewhere else In the state." The county court holds that the expenditure la badly needed to provide employment and that the benefits should be securea lor loesi workers. "If Jackson county doesn't want the money, there are plenty of Oregon counties that will take It," Commit loner John Bameburg said this morning .- The county court holds that the claim that the work will "Increase the taxes" 1st groundless, and that If toe protested la granted. "Jackson ounty will lose the money and the employment, and the taxes will be just the same." Adjustment toon. It la expected that the matter will bs adjusted in a day or two, and that Jackson county labor will get the benefits. . The federal money has been ap propriated for the work, and It la decreed that It be expended by June L next. , ' The text of the protesting petition Is as follows: "We, the underslgnee. taxrayera of Jackson county. Oregon, pi est and contest the contemplated change of the Pacific highway running south from Ashland, Oregon, tor the reason that said change la unnecessary and without plausible excuse In view of the fact that the first nine miles of the present highway In the middle of the valley la a good all the year highway, while the proposed., new highway above the railroad would be expensive to build, and would be allppery and dangerous for travel during the winter months; and In Tlew of the present state Indebted ness and the burden of the general taxpayer audi expense Is extrava gant and unjustified, especially since uoh change will Injure and discom mode practically all the residents of that vicinity and will mainly bene fit the tourist traffic only. "We are not unmindful of the fact ttiat the funds for this construction are derived directly from the sale of state bonds which ate paid from motor licenses and gas tax, but so long aa the commission unceasingly calls for these revenues for new con struction and repair, the law making power will refrain- from diverting any part of this revenue for other purposes and the general taxpayer will go unrelieved and unredressed."
