Jfew Work Scheduled.
New work ordered for next month's
meeting is rocking three miles of the
coast highway north of Rockaway
In Tillamook. This will give a sur
faced road to 'within a mile of
Brighton, on Nehalem bay, and pro
vide a direct automobile road along
the beach resorts. This eventually
will be the Roosevelt highway, al
though at present the road along the
beaches is, technically, a county high
way. '
There is an orphan road between
Crescent City, Cal., and the Oregon
line, a section ten miles in length.
It Is a good country road at present,
weaving among towering redwoods.
This road is not on the state high
way system of California, for in
Stead of following up the coast the
C'alifornians intend building across
toward Grants Pass.
Orphan Road Sponsored.
The orphan road connects with the
Roosevelt highway in Curry county.
A delegation from Coos county re
quested the state highway commis
sion to take up the matter with the
California commission to the end that
, the 10-mile section will be taken
care of.
Lincoln county explained to the
board that it does not favor co-operating
with the government and the
state on building the road along the
coast in the northern part of the
county, This tri-party arrangement
was proposed by the government and
was devised as a method of building
a road through a region where there
is now no road. A similar arrange
ment was offered to Tillamook, and
bids for the first section, from Hebo
to Neskowin. were opened yesterday.
50-50 Deal Kxpected.
The Lincoln county delegation ad
mitted that the road is ,a necessity,
but explained that they expect a 60-50
deal with the state. The tri-party
deal calls' for $120,000 from the coun
ty and $100,000 each from the govern
ment and state.
Another effort was made by the
Benton county court to have the road
between CoivalMs and Albany taken
over by the commission as a state,
highway. Also the court wanted it
paved, but the commissioners pro
tested that paving is out of the ques
tion, as money is not available.
The proposal made by the commis
t sion was that the state will water
the road which connects the" east
side and west side paved highways
and will go 50-50 on the maintenance.
This counter proposal was taken
under consideration by the county.
Once upon a time the highway, com
missioners favored making it a state
road and the county declined; now
conditions are reversed.
