Suspension of further contracts on 11 major new projects by the state highway commission until the ques tion of a lower license fee for motor cars and the correlary question of revenue from acme other source to re plenish that to be taken from the highway fundk are settled by the leg islature, appears to be definitely In the offing. Although no formal action has been taken by the members of the hlRhwav commission on the question. It la known that at the behest of hla colleagues Leslie M. Scott, chairman, made a trip to Medford last week end to sell the residents of southern Ore gon on the necessity of abandoning, for the time being, the costly straigh tening and widening work on the Pa- clnc highway through the Stsklyous. After the financial picture of the highway commission had been pre sented by Mr. Scott, repiesentatlvea of the Ashland and Medford cham bers of commerce and the Jackson county court agreed to the plan whereby the present available federal aid money will be spent on lesser pro jects which can be completed with funda now In sight. Approximately (100,000 will be spent on Improve ments north of Ashland and $75,000 on the Winston bridge near Roseburg. The Implication waa strong that other major projects will similarly be deferred. The commission had gone so far on the first unit of the project to "unwind the corkscrew of the sts klyous" aa to call for an receive bids. No contract haa as yet been let. It appeared clear that the commission could not ask residents of southern Oregon to forego the construction on their major highway If the same sort of treatment was not to be accorded other major projects. In event that the commission de cides to carry out this policy the Siskiyou widening, costing approxi mately 1,860,000, would be deferred aa would the construction of the Wolf Creek short cut to the sea, costing 4,100,000 when completed and paved; the Wilson river route to Tillamook, costing $3,000,000 when completed and oiled; the Klamath Falls to Weed extension costing $450,000 and the South flanttam, costing $1,000,000 to complete. The position that the commission Is believed to be about ready to an nounce la that In view of the threat of reduced revenues by the cutting of the automobile license fees now regarded as certain and the general demand for reduction In taxes of all aorta this la not the time to under take new major projects for which the money to complete Is not In sight. They do not wish to start the build ing of roads that lead nowhere and which might stand uncompleted for yean to come. Mr. Scott la known to favor this view of the matter and the other two members of the commission. Carl Q. Washburne and E. B. Aldrlch, are believed to be ready to Join In such action a soon aa the public, and particularly those Immediately Inter ested In the various projects, shall have become convinced of Its wisdom.
