In its answers the highway commission said there is no money available for supplemen tal financing of the bridge; the state could not assume any part of maintenance or operat ing costs; no federal aid could be obtained since the span would be a toll bridge; the com mission has no authority to par ticipate in such a project.

These will include a mess hall, dormitories, warehouse, motor pool and a general build ing. Several hundred personnel, a large percentage of them mar ried, will be stationed at the site, it, was said. Test drilling of building sites is underway by a Portland consulting engineering firm. The Army engineers will do designing and construction, ac cording to the Air Force. Some 20 buildings still on the site will be up for sale in about a month.

With oil our fuel bills are lower and we get real even heat all the time. My wife says it's cleaner and safer, too. I wouldn't buy a house that didn't have oil heat."

Small said the action is ex pected to encourage many small Oregon lumber mills and other factories to submit bids for fur nishing commodities. The pro gram, announced yesterday in Washington, calls for the Small Business administration and GSA to cooperate to increase the little manufacturer's sales of goods and services. Small said, "our idea is to make sure that small manufac turers may have equal opportu nity to bid in competition with larger concerns."

(U.R) The nation's second - ranked most complete and valuable as tronomical library is now housed in a new $120,000 library here after being stored in an attic for years. Dr. C. D. Sharne, Lick Obser vatory director, said the station's 25,000-volume library has been installed in a two-story annex to the administration building. He said the observatory's li brary is second only to the one at the U. S. Naval Observatory in Washington. The Lick collec tion contains many complete sets of periodicals and a number of old and rare books. The new building, although it contains only 5,000 square feet, will take care ' of the future li brary space needs for more than 50 years. The acquisition of books is limited to astronomy and closely related fields. There fore, ' the growth is relatively small when compared to that of a general library.
