81 TRIP, BELIEF
A slight Improvement was reported
today in the condition of Kenneth
Madden, 24, of Ashland, who was the
victim last Friday on a mysterious
blow back of the ear that caused a
basal fracture of the skull. His con
dition la still serloua and the crisis
In the case will not be reached for
a couple of days.
Madden was found lying In an al
ley in Ashland, unconscious, and un
til he recovers the full details will
not be known.
One theory advanced by friends. Is
that Madden, station attendant for
the Shell OH company, waa slugged
when he attempted to collect a gas
bill from some transient Indigent au
tolsts. A number of other theories
have been advanced.
Both the state police, and the Ash
land city police have made Investigations.
IN BIKE THEFTS
L
By Robert C. Not son
8tff Writer, In The Oregonian.
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.
