Wiinmi-r Dislikes Engineer Altitude In a letter to the Oate City Journ al. S. L Wimmer of Nyssa has criti cized representatives of the state highway department for not giving him the proper consideration in planning for the curbing on Arcadia boulevard, where he has property. Wimmer's letter reads: "Why did it have to happen to me? •'Fifty-one years ago I came to eastern Oregon by way of Portland ' and The Dalles. I booked passage from The Dalles to Dayville on a ! spring wagon, called a stage. Part I of the route was over a toll road. The toll collector lived near the bridge over the Deschutes river. | There was a post at the end o f the . | bridge. On the post was posted the : toll rates I would never have given | the rates a second thought if I had [ not noticed that the rate for a four- horse team and a wagon and a J Chinaman with a cart was the same. | A Chinaman's cart Is the missing I link between a one-horse wagon with the Chink pluytng the horse. "The unjust rate for the Chlna- i man registered on my mind as a discrimination. I have not thought ! of the Chinaman and cart for many I years, until about the same kind of ) discrimination was used against me I own a property on U. 8. highway 20. or in other words, Arcadia boule- j 1 vard. Recently there has been con- Crete curbs put In for a distance of about one mile. I have been told that the property owners o i property along this route were consulted about driveways to be made on their lota. I was not consulted. When the con struction gang got the curbs poured to within about a city block of my place I began to try to see Mr. John son. the engineer. I found two men who said they were bosses. I asked each of them and also four men working on the Job to tell Mr John son I would like to see him. I failed to see him. I asked each of the bosses on the Job about a driveway. They both said It would be better to go ahead and put it In and take It out later. (T h at is one way to save taxpayers money. •The day the concrete was poured in front of my place, the boss at the Armco Drainage company plant called to me and said that Mr. John son had come In. I went out where the men were then pouring the con crete. Mr. Johnson had gone farther down the highway. I asked the boss who was on the Job to see Mr John son If the concrete could be lifted out with a hoe. He went to see Mr. Johnson. He came back in a few minutes. He said it would make a rough job to take the concrete out with a hoe. I wrote to Mr. Johnson in regard to this matter. My letter failed to rate a reply. I am Just part of a man and partly over the hill. I f It was not so. perhaps I would rate higher with Mr. Johnson.” Hell's (Canyon Dam Unit To Be Formell for the ultimate utilization of the tion, will be interim chairman, and Charles Baker.
