The County Commissioners contemplate purchasing a few gravel pits between Sandy and the eastern boundary of Mult nomah, for the purpose of graveling the county roads in that vicinity. Very little substantial improvement has yet been made on the roads out there, but the growing traffic begins to demand a roorp durable pavement than can be construct ed of plank or common earth. Gravel pits, to be handy, should not be more than three miles distant frbm the points to be Improved, according to a County Commissioner, who was speaking on the subject yesterday. The eight-acre gravel pit on Powell's road, some eight miles from the city, has proved very useful in furnishing gravel for several highways out there. The tract cost $400, or $50 an acre, some time ago. but the seller did not know he was dealing with Multnomah County until after he Had been paid $100 on the purchase price. Then he thought he should have been paid at least double as "Multnomah County is rich, and the public always have to pay more for things than individuals do." Gravel pits can be bought now much cheaper than a few years hence, the Com missioner thought, but the authorities will always have to guard against the sellei who thinks the county should pay double what a thing Is worth. The macadam roads of the county are. standing the wet weather much better than those thoroughfares where only gravel has been used, as the macadam packs more solidly, and thus resists the action of heavily laden teams. Macadam, however. Is simply gravel that has been broken, and the county is better ablo to crush its own rock each succeeding year. GENTLEMEN Remember your lady friends.
