Third Biennial Report
of the
State Highway Commission
of the
State of Oregon
1917-1918
The law establishing this Commission was approved by Governor Withycombe
on February 19, 1917 and on March 1 the following appointments were
made: S. Benson, Portland, for the three-year period; W. L. Thompson,
Pendleton, two-year period; E. J. Adams, Eugene, one-year period. The
first meeting was held on March 6, 1917, when this Commission was
organized and S. Benson elected Chairman and G. Ed Ross, Secretary.
The former Commission, consisting of James Withycombe, Governor, Ben W.
Olcott, Secretary of State, and Thos. B. Kay, State Treasurer, held
meetings on December 15, 1916 and January 15, 1917 and on the
qualification of the members of the new commission, as provided in
Section 14, Article II, Chapter 237, Laws of 1917, transferred all
records, maps, equipment and property in its possession. The former
Commission, in view of proposed legislation providing for a new highway
code, made no appropriations nor were policies outlined, so that when
the new Commission entered upon its duties, it was not embarrassed by
policies made by its predecessors.
At a meeting on April 10, 1917, Herbert Nunn was appointed State Highway
Engineer. On April 1, 1918, Robert A. Booth, of Eugene, was appointed by
Governor Withycombe to succeed E. J. Adams. On August 6, 1918, Roy A.
Klein was appointed Secretary to succeed G. Ed Ross, resigned.
