Herbert G. Schucker. geologist with the department, reported that Multnomah County alone outside the city of Portland had 109 slides during the winter. The cost of slide repair in the county and in Portland for streets and water systems ran to $325,000, he said. Moreover, he said, the state Highway Department estimates $100,000 a year slide damage to state highways in the four years up to last November. Construction cost of the relocated Willamette Highway near Lookout Point Dam was increased S5uu,uuu by slides. In addition, Schlicker said, the cost to the Forest Service, logging companies, railroads, power and telephone companies and other businesses and individuals adds to the toll taken by unstable slopes. f radically au slides snow some sign of coming before the ground actually gives 'way bent trees, tipped fence posts or tension cracks at the upper edge, Schlick er said,' and he added that every old slide is a danger sign. Last fall's severe early frost no doubt played a big part in the unusual number of slides during the winter, Schlicker ' said, be cause formation of ice crystals expanded the soil and gave in creased moisture capacity. Then when unusually heavy rains came the ground took on more moisture than many slopes could handle without slipping. Schlicker said that control of slides on lone sloDes often is eco nomically impossible and that sometimes it is cheaper to let slides cloe a highway and then clean up the debris than to 'treat tne slope to prevent; a suue. But on a small slope, he said the soil generally can be stabil ized bv taking the load off the top of the slope and placing ma terial at the toe, and by controll ing surface drainage and tiling out sub-surface water. There are such solutions, too, he said, as driving piling of proper strength and deep enough and building retaining walls but these need to be aided by proper drainage and re-sloping. mere are prooiems oi design and of anchoring and of using the proper material and of compact ing it, Schlicker said, and so "per sons familiar with design of re taining walls should be given the responsibility." He concluded that probably the greatest cause of retaining wall failure is poorly compacted fill material of the wrong kind, be hind it. Such a fill, he said, should be of well graded soil compacted by hand or pneumatic tampers in layers not exceeding six inches. installed properly, a retaining wall can be a satisfactory solution on a steep niuside, ne said, ine overall problem he described as reaching a satisfactory level oi safety within economical limits of cosU-factors which vary with the hillsides. gQ3mMcT CALENDAR OP EVENTS tfTtfomorrouj Oregon Highway Traffic Delays Report Issued SALEM I The Oregon High way Commission weekly construc tion and traffic report: Columbia River Highway 2.4 miles construction on Bradley Park - Wauna section, possible slight delav.
