Siletz Bay Wagon Road.
County Surveyor Wygant returned
this week from surveying tho proposed
wngon road on Siletz bay and reports as
follows :
After completion of survey I would,
say that I view said road as an entirely
feasible nnd easily constructed rend.-
As shown by field notes and plat,
the grades as finally laid out and eetab
lished ore moderate and on the entire
route are in no caso as groat as on the
present Toledo Newport road, and in
fact the alignment is much better und
this road will be much more easily ami
cheaply built. Only two bridges will
be necessary for the county to build,
one across Tide slough near Walter
Bones' of a length of 114 foet and a
span of 50 feot, anil one ucross Drift
creek between W. E. Ball's ind George
Parmele's of a length of 90 feet and a
span of 80 foet. In each case timber
Is near so lhat .said bridges may bo
cheaply built.
The crossing of Silelz buy or river is
attnincd at a point where same is ouly
433 feet wide and where a high bank
on the north side of the river and
heavy timber makes a crossing by scow
safe and unaffected by storm or the
waves.
The crossing pf Schooner creek is
made just above L. Tarmele's at a good
ford with sandy bottom and may be
crossed at all times except during the
heavy winter tides when it will be nec
essary to wait about two hours at high
tide.
By the new survey over tho hill bo
tweon Jakey Johnson's and the ocean
boaoh, a much better route has been
chosen and on which no trades greater
than 8 feet to the 100 feet haye been al
lowed. By making tho change in route from
nitial point of survey, tho original sur
vey of which necessitated the construe
tion of 44 rods of embankment and a
bridge of 40 foot spun, the change pro
posed will neod only 23 rods of em
bnukmeut five feet high nnd no bridge
by the county, Joseph Sijota having
bound himsolf legally to construct tint
remaining 1(1 rods of embankment aud
the 40-foot bridgo at his own expeuse
and to keep same in repair. Tikis
chunge removes all local objection to
the road at this point. I would say
farther in this connection that by mut
ual concessions, which in no case have
affected the excellence of tho road, all
remonstrances und questions of dain
Hgus huvo been eliminated. In point of
fact the need for this road has been so
greatly felt that every person affected
has acted iu tho greatest spirit of fair
ness and good-will towards the survey
aud location of same,
In conclusion I would strongly rec
ommend tho adoption and construction
of this road as now surveyed. There in
no question, but that considering the
number of people benefitted and who
now have no legal outlet anywhere and
also tho fact that this road will muke
aud complete a continuous, easily und
quickly traveled route from Tillamook
and Salmon river points to Newport,
Tuledo and all southern and eastern
points in Lincoln county.
The same to be adopted at once and
constructed us a whole us soon as the
county finances und iu the judgment of
the Ilonorablo County Court, circum
stances will permit.
