ON KOAU MATKI(IAI,8.
8t. Helens, Ore., Feb. 9. To tho
Editor of the Journal There has
been a good deal written of late, In
rogard to building good roads and
patronizing home industries. One of
tho home Industries that might be
worked to good advantage in the
building of good roads and streets,
and of benefit to a number of nnnnln
I of the state, Is the making of Belgian
paving blocks, of Oregon stone. These
stone blocks have proved themselves,
in all cases, to be superior to every
other in point of wear, outlasting all
otlier paving, enduring more than
three times as long as the bonded
porlod. Besides, thla 1h a local in
dustry of groat benefit to Portland
Prom 1906 until two years ago
certain road meeting held In Road' one to two Inches of a cement cushion
District No. 7 on tho lGth day of under them, and grouted with cement
January, 1915, at which suld meet- between, It would form a loud that
lug a motion was carried to set asldo would hint 50 years without repairs,
thero were from l:o to U.0 skilled
workmen employed getting out Mono
.. k...i.. ., .1 iriMit .and sewers.
iur "i n".t
Of that number over twenty built
homes for themselves; ninny moro
im.l boiieht lots Biid wreo preparing
to build, nnd there was over 270
people to feed and clot no irom in
i,,riinn.i nuil vicinity. At
Blllll'fi V .v.. -
there 1ms not boon nny stone used
for nearly two years, nil uioso moo
and most of their families have had
to leave the Btate. rick has been
brought In to take the place of stone
In Portland, from adjoining 'states.
Brick has a life of only about one
fourth tho life of htono, and Is only
15 cents per cubic yard less In price.
All roads leading out of Portland,
for the matter of 20 tulles will prob
able be surfaced. Why not use stone,
blocks Instead of the cho..per clns
of paving materials, which would
have to bo renewed every few yearsT
If stono wero used on the present
crushed rock foundation, with from
o Inches of a cement cushion
from 75 cents to $1 per yurd more
ilmn tho cheauost cIubh of paving
Tliero are two Improvements com
ing mi In Portland nnd vicinity
r w
namely: Tho approach to tho Inter
state brldgo and the Improvement of
tho cunt end of tho Broadwuy brldgo.
Both places should tiavo the most
substantial roadways that could bo
built, to liihuro tho public the best
means of trafJIc In all sorts of weath
er. Why not pattern them after
Fourth street, with i;tone In the
center and wooden tilocks on the
Bides. It makes tho Ideal street for
all classes of traffic, under all w a
ther conditions, nnd they aro both
Oregon products, nnd arc tho cheap
est In the end.
One of tho reasons that stone I
not moro used In Oregon Is because
It Is rcn on a narrow margin of
profit, rnd It., makers can r.ot afford
tho advertising cumpalgns that the
patent pnvlng concerns employ, nor
biro boosters to boost for their pav
