State Highway Improvements Not Decided Definitely.
Salem.—Although the state highway commission has not decided upon a definite plan as to how all the money raised for state highway improvement under the law passed at the recent session of the legislature creating the commission should be expended, it has made arrangements to begin active work about June 1, when the money for next year will become available.
The commission has decided to expend part of the money in providing supervision of road construction by county courts, when desired, and the remainder will be used either in building an experimental thoroughfare to determine the merits of the various hard-surface pavements, or in building a stretch of the Pacific Highway between this city and Portland.
The commission has decided that all work done by it shall be hard surface, the law providing that durable roads shall be constructed.
