HIGHWAY
TO
BENEFIT BY KIM
The west side road will come in for
a share of tho hard Burface campaign
for 1918, If the wishes of the budget
meeting Saturday are agreeable to the
state highway commission and the
county court. In the $27,000 itom for
stnto aid, it was voted that $9,000 of
this amount should be expondod by
tho court on the Oswego road which is
the raclflc highway on tho west sldo
of tho river.
The state will co-operate and prob
ably furnish at least $9000 addition to
this amount, so that tho road from the
Multnomah line on this way to Oswego
can bo properly built and probably
hardsurfaced.
The court will have another problem
on its hands following the change in
the channel of the Molalla river at
Wright's bridge. There is every indi
cation that the channel has perman
ently changed and ott the bridge
high and dry over what was formerly
the main channel. Tho bridge is not
safe nt presont as one of the piers is
completely washed away, and it is
doubtful If a repair of the present
structure would solve the problem, as
with the next high water the chnnnol
might change again,
At present people travelling to Ore
gon ' City from Molalla country take
the steol bridge In the Meadowbrook
community, which Is about three miles
east of Wright's bridge. The court
has not yot decided on what plan to
pursue, whether to build a new struc
ture a the same point to connect with
the old bridge, or locate a new
bridge at some available point up or
down the river.
