Market Ave. Phono Ill-L Roseburg Good Roads Asso I oiation Receives Detailed Report Bay Road Hit The Boseburg Review says: "At a meeting of the locnl (lood Bonds Association Inst evening n report wns submitted by Engineer I.. O. Hicks 1 on the conditions of tho Cninns Vul-loy-Coqullle road. Tho report goes Into the matter In full detail, neeom- 1 pnnlcd by blue print mnps and photo graphs Bhowlng tho terrible condition of this Bo-cnllcd rond. Also esti mates of tho cost of Its Improvement I with a correct surface und with as phalt mnendnm. Engineer Hicks ' and throe other members of tho As sociation went over this ontlrc piece or rond nml navo gathered n great deal of dnta relutlng thereto, Includ ing timber and other property val ues. They have also had a tost made by tho stntc authorities of the rock there, which Is pronounced of good quality for rond Improvement work. It Is said this rock can bo bad In suf ficient quantities for this rond build ing work. A survey has also been made by County Surveyor Frank Cain for the proposed rclocntlon iff , this rond so as to ollmlnnto tho heavy grndes and his 'findings are also In cluded lu tho report. "In part Mr. I licks snys: I Importance of This Bond. , "Tho Importance of this Cainns t Vnlloy-Coqulllo road Is very great. i Douglas county, with Its peculiar sn 1 lubrlous climate, can grow and inn I turo crops of vegetables and fruit and grains which cannot bo grown lu the 1 coast country. A largo market for Douglas county produce in Coos county awaits tho coming of the good ' ronds over which maximum loads can be hauled. On the other hand, fish, crnnberrlcs, butler, cheeso nnd other produce ecu Id bo brought from Cook . to Unseliurg, the tunrkut town. If road conditions weru Improved. "At the present time, the United I States mall Is carried from Uosoburg , to Cnqulllc and MarHhfleld over the . present road, there being two singes , per day each way. Tho passenger 'traffic will average lr persons per ! day or 5175 per year, which at $0 n I (.i.uiii ..I..... t'fo or.n ....i.t .. .., in-inwu Kiii'n fil-,oiu (Mini Itll nillKU faro por year. "From Uosoburg MOO pounds of mull leaves for tho const each day. or r. 1 1,000 pounds per yenr. while S00 pounds per duy, or 211,'JOO pounds per year ,aro brought Into Uosoburg over this road, "Tho road from Uosoburg to Mnrshfleld via Hltkinn Is a road of almost prohibitive grades, and will never receive tho traffic that the Myrtle Point rond will have. The Sltktim rond Is a mountain road and nothing more, and while for scenery passed through It surpusses tho Myr tle mint road, yet Its summit eleva tion reaches nearly 10(10 feet higher. "Tho present route, known us the Camas Valley-Myrtle Point rond, Is a through route from UoHohurg west ward to Myrtle Point. Leaving Uoschurg, the rond winds up the riv er to tho new steel highway bridge nt Wlnstons, then turns to tho south west, passing through largo orchaid tracts to Drockwny. thence westward through fertile fields mid valleyn to Olalln. From Olulln the road climbs over Camus mouutulu, on a planked roadway to Cnmas Valley, but I am Informed thnt tho present road locu tion Is not tho best that can lie ob tained as regards summit elevation. From Cnmas (lit rond eutei'H tho Co qulllo river canyon ami follows this for a' distance of some It! odd miles to Myrtle Point, lu Coos county. Present ('onilltloiiH of ICnuil. "At tlit present time we know of no other rond lu any worse shapo than this one under consideration. "I have personally walked from tho Camus Valley end of this louil down tho canyon to u point west of Sheep Cnmp, and I have seen tho dif ficulty to which truffle Is being sub jected. "Uuts In the rond on measure ment show' !I0 to -Hi Inches lu depth and tho bottom of tho ruts dry. It appears as though It Is a case of lack of Judgment or funds thnt would al low a road, Important as this rond Is, to get In this condition. I show herewith n few smnll snap-shots which will glvo nn Idea of tho condi tion of tho rond surface over which traffic Is supposed to pnss. 'It takes four horses to pull a driver and three or four passengers. In the winter time during tho rainy season portions of tho rond nro well nigh impnssnble. This hits been so yenr after yenr lu the pnst. "1 found a great deal of tho rond hnd ponds of water stnudlng on It Juno 1. 191.1. and thnt some of tho muddiest spots were on tho brldgo floors, "Bridges were found that woro un safe, rollings gone nnd bents leaning In a dangerous manner. "Parts of tho rond nt points whero tho CoqulHc river was from CO to 100 feet nway, nenrly straight down, have dnngerous holes cutting through tho outer rim of tho rond. "Summing up, the physical condi tion of this rond could not possibly bo worse. "An approximate cstlmnto of tho cost of constructing nsphnltlc mnend nm on tho rond under consideration Is $1.80 per square yard, or $050 1 per mile, or IS'J.'JO'J.CO for paved surfneo for totnl length of rond. Com pnrisou shows thnt plunknlg would cost approximately $20,030.51, with n life not to exceed flvo years. Tho nsphaltlc marndnm would prove to bo better, more Instlng, nnd will show by Its Installation a tendency to lino up to the present lustend of using the methods of tho pnst. "The approximate, estlmnto of tho cost por squnro yard of this class "A" concrete pavement would bo $1.75 or $'.1210 per mile. Conclusions. "That rock of suitable nnturo can bo found In close proximity of tho Camas Vallcy-Coqulllc rond Is tho opinion of the writer, backed by tho opinion of the state geologist. "That to construct n plank rond over this rond In question, would ho n mistake, u step bnckward, not ahead. "That an nxphultlc mnendnm con structed under proper spcctflcutlous. with rigid Inspection Is tho choice of the writer. "That nn Intelligent rond location be started at once, Is conceded by nil who are familiar with the situation to lie tho proper procedure, oven If plank were to be used. "Thnt a state geologist bo em ployed at once to iiiicertulu the loca tion of suitable rock In the vicinity of this proposed rond Improvement. "Thnt Immediate steps be taken by the County Court to prepare plans, specif lent Ions, call for bids ami let contracts on this rond Improve ment work of n durable nml perma nent character. Is. I believe, tho wish of the (lood Bonds Association of Douglas county. "Tho local Hood Uonds Association Tuesday night decided to present the matter as rontnlned In this report to tho County Court Just as soon ns practicable and urge (hut the rocom meiiilatloiiH ho followed as to build ing a permanent hard surface rond there, lustend of a plnnk road us con templated by the court."
