COMMISSIONS WILL MEET State Highway Board and County Commissioners Seek Way to Pay' for Construction. 14 nun of loop STUD ED if i f - x ' W - XrfJ- V i t ill 74 .f'i y J, " (SIM ? i" '"'l, l ' s ti I ' v ft V ' I ' How to finance the Mount Hood loop will be the point at Issue to morrow aftrenoon at 2 o'clock when the atate highway commission meets with the Multnomah county commis sion In room 020 at the courthouse. If a solution can be found. It Is pos sible that work off the loop this side of Zigzag will start this year. The highway people aro anxious to get the work under way, tor it will re quire a couple of years or more to complete the loop, which is expected to be a stellar attraction during the 1925 exposition. 1 At present Multnomah county has no funds available for this road. The JS5.U00 which was set aside last year was not touched and so lapsed. In the 1921 budget no provision was made for the loop, as the county com missioners did not know whether the highway commission wished to do anything with the road this year. It is possihle the highway commission may offer to advance funds to the county oil condition that the money be repaid out of tax levies in the future. An arrangement of this sort has been made by the state with other counties on road work. The county commission, however, wants the highway commission to submit tomorrow afternoon a definite plan for the project; how much the loop will probably cost and about how much Multnomah county Is expected to carry of the total aum estimated. Meanwhile the government is stead ily moving along with the building the road within the forest reserve on the mountain side. The road has been graded between Zigzag and Gov ernnient Camp and the government is preparing to wrok on the other Aide of the mountain. Considerable work will be necessary in Hood River county to connect the loop road with tho Columbia River highway, and the people of Hood River county are anxious to aid in the undertaking. It is not the plan to hard-surface the Mount Hood loop, but to bulid a high way of standard width and grade and surface it with rock or gravel. The grades never exceed C per cent and are usually much less. In the section which the govern ment has built already there will be little or no traffic unless the state and counties, Multnomah and Clack amas, improve the road on this side, so as to make the road in the forest accessible. There Is an old road to Zigzag on heavy grades, but this road has been so ripped to pieces by the passage of heavy trucks that the dirt l road has been torn up and $2000 worth of planks which were laid over a section have been crushed into kindling. The location made by the state highway department is not the most scenic that could have been selected, but the commission took the route which would best develop and help the Intervening country, believing tha' farther out there will be an abundance of scenery. Rights of way have been secured by Clackamas county for the entire location of the new road, and Clackamas county ex presses a willingness to assist finan cially to the best of its ability.
