BIG SUM AVAILABLE j
FOR MARKET ROADS:
Highway Commission Policy
Definitely Formulated.
WORK BEGINS THIS YEAR
Ten Per Cent Limitation in Law
Heslrictjj Multnomah County
to Less Than $100,000
Under the market road act there
will he available about $2,000,000 dur
ing this and succeeding years for the
development of strictly market roads
in the various counties. Through the
action of this law the state will even
tually be webbed to the most remote
sections by feeder roads. The law
. was enacted in 1919. with some
amendments at the special session in
19-D, and it will be placed in opera
tion til is year.
Because of the importance of lay
ing a suitable grroundwork for future
development of the market road sys
tem, .the state highway commission
. has for months been working out a
policy for applying the enactment.
The result of this exhaustive research
and investigation has been embodied
in a set of regulations which has
just been issued by the commission.
The market-road fund is raised by
a 1-mill levy on all taxable property
in the state. For l!'2t the amount so
raised will be $990,435.47. This sum
will be matched by the collective
counties, so there will be, in round
figures, about $2,000,0.00. The state
market-road fund is controlled by the
highway commission and apportioned
to the various counties upon the basis
of assessed valuations. No one
county, liowever. shall in any year
receive more than 10 per cent of the
total amount of the fund, nor shall
any county receive a sum in excess
of what is raised by itself for the
same purpose.
Other Counties Get Surplus.
Funds which a county is unable to
take up, either by reason of the 10
per cent limitation or by failure to
qualify for its full pro rata, shall be
come available for apportionment to
those counties which qualify under
the limitations stated. It will be im
possible for a county to take up dur
ing the second year any of its pro
rata share of the state funds for
which it fails to qualify during the
first year unless there remains in the
fund a balance for which no county
is able to qualify, in which event such
balance shall be carried over and be
come part of the state fund for the
next year.
Based upon assessed valuation
alone, Multnomah county would be
entitled to $335,754.94 from the state
market road fund, but on account of
the 10 percent limitation on the funds
available to any one county, only
$99,043.55 can be apportioned to that
county. This leaves $237,711.39 of
Multnomah county's pro rata share to
he pro rated among the other counties
This will insure that the amount
available to each of the counties out
side of Multnomah county will be in
excess of 1.2 mills on the dollar of
assessed valuation.
Work Will Be Concentrated.
The state highway commission de
sires that in so far as possible work
to be done under the market road act
be concentrated in large units, and
that the improvements be continuous
and uniform. The market road act
does not contemplate the expenditure
of market road funds for maintenance
work or for haphazard and disconnect
ed improvement. It is expected that
sections selected for market road con
struction will be graded to uniform
standards over their entire lengths,
properly drained, and provided with
such surfacing as traffic conditions
may warrant.
No definite standards will be estab
lished for market road construction.
The width of roadbed, maximum
gradient and minimum radius of curv
ature will be varied to suit the con
ditions met with on different projects,
and the determination of these stand
ards will be made in conference with
the county courts concerned.
Before proceeding with the survey
for any market road project, a repre
sentative of the state highway com
mission will meet with the county
court for the purpose of taking up
matters in regard to the general lo
cation of the road and the genera!
standards of construction to be fol
lowed, as regards grades, curvature,
roadbed widths, etc. The proposed
project will be gone over on the
ground and agreements reached as to
all general features involved, with a
view to having a full understanding
between the county court and the
highway commission before any work
in connection with the surveys is
started.
For purposes of determining ap
proximately the cost of a market road
project or the amount of work which
can be expected to be done with mar
ket road funds available, the engineer
will prepare cost estimates for work
involved. These cost estimates will
be based upon unit prices for which
similar, work is being contracted by
the Ftate highway commission, but
the commission assumes no responsi
bility if the actual cost of the work
overruns these estimates.
Plans Mut Be Approved.
Surveys, plans, specifications and
estimates made by engineers outside
of the State highway department must
be approved and accepted by the
highway commission before state
market road funds will be allowed to
be expended upon the project con
cerned. In conclusion, the highway com
mission announces that all work on
market roads must be performed in
a manner satisfactory to the commis
sion and until such time as such work
is so completed and accepted by the
commission, approval of plans for ad
ditional market road construction
may be withheld.
up. - And there is a faint hope that
the government itself might share
part of the expense in view of being
relieved of its present expense.
The interior mail service has always
oeen both slow and irregular, and it
is unjust to lay the blame exclusively
upon Mr. Burleson. At all events it
has not been much worse under his
administration until the past few
months. When all Alaska mail was
removed from mail status and re
classified as common freight on Au
gust 1 a year ago there was naturally
a great incidental delay and much loss
of mail matter everywhere throughout
the territory, but the interior was less
affected than the coaBt country the
interior was used to that sort of
thing but when all interior mail was
recently rerouted by way of Fair
banks, thus adding a further delay of
from two to six weeks, the patience
of the Interior people snapped right
in two, and the movement for a pri
vate mail service is the result.

Mr. Hutchins said that the eastern

"The work of Frank Branch Kile

the former Rose Festival official,'

Ocgjon Interests Kast.
"Oregon is fast attracting the at

that the most wonderful timber in
the world stands in the great north
west is attracting attention, and so
are the lands in the northwest avail

"Although I am living and working
in Los Angeles, Portland is my home,
and some day I will return here to
live. It is the best city on the Pacific
coast today, and I say this in all seri

prosperity than any. other city on the
coast, and has finally awakened to Its
opportunity."

Ruby and Ophir and Flat and Tacotna

unkind things about Mr. Burleson and j
talking arjout organizing a private

As the report comes, the idea is an
