REGARDING ROADS
Newport, Oregon,
September 10th, 1917.
Editor Leader:
-Commenting on the proposed
good r lad improvement, in the
last Issue of the Leader among
other things you said, "There is
one part of the present, plan,
that we notice In particu'Hr that
is likely to defeat the good road
project as a whole, that to
which we refer is the proposed
toad from Newport to Waldport"
ine good roads plan as outlined
In this petition doeB not propose
this road leading from Toledo
South through the fertile Beaver
Creek country to Bay View and
Lutzgen, but proposed to build
& new road along the ocean bluff
wher0 there are no fanners. The
rest of the roads outlined in the
petition will benefit our farm
ers as well as our tourists, and
will prove a double nsuet to the
countv."
If you will read the petition
you will see that you have mis-
quoted the reading of the peti- '
. . c .
tion as to that portion of the
road you refer to above.
The road as outlined in the
petition from Newport to Wald
port reads: "Newport to Alsea
Bay, via Ona and Bayview to
Lutzgens."
Now, the first two miles and
a half of this road is open from
Newport to the old Life Saving
Station. Prom there there is
no road to Lutzgens except the
mile and one half over the point
at Seal Rock. The ocean beach
is the public highway, and only
way to reach cither Beaver
Creek, Lutzgens or the Al.sea
Bay at the present time.

WANTS ROAD BONDS
Ona, Oregon,
Sept. 10, 1917.
Mr. Hayden,
Publisher of Leader,
Toledo, Oregon.
Dear Sir:
We notice by pour last week's
issue, that you have intention
ally or unintentionally misrep
resented the sentiment of the
Ona people with regard to the
proposed Road Bond Issue.
You say that the people
oj
Ona are opposed to the Road
Bond on account of the proposed
route, which is not a fact, for 50
per cent or more of the voters of
pna have signed the petition
asking for the road as It is laid
out In the original petition.
The Ona Road Club are not
opposed to a road to Toledo, to
prove this you can find by the
records that the Ona Road Club
with a small amount of outside
help has already built by dona
tion, two miles of this same To-
"," p"j U1,S,B V
led ?oaQd- ut we also want
rnnn in Smith Honnh an1 oHai
a
.road to South Beach and above
all we want the Road Bond to
carry so that we air can begin
to get out of the mud.
Ona Good Road Club, Per
P. P. Byrn, Sec, C. S. Ohmart,
President.
TO BOND OR NOT TO BOND?
THAT IS THE QUESTION
A petition has been circulated
asking the county Court to call
a special election for the purpose
of bonding the county in an ad
ditional sum of $200,000 to build
and improve roads in this coun
ty. As this is a matter of great
tmnnrtanna in tha tarnavara ft
r . ,i .
uur present iinancwi condition ana.
'the sacrifice of life and property which
the greatest war in all our history Im
poses upon us; the uncertainty of
when It will end or of the future bur
dens that It will Impose upon us; the
high cost of material and labor which
will add from 60 to 100 per cent to the
cost of construction are factors that
must be taken Into account before ven
jturing on Buch an expensive enter-
your farms be worth. There will be no
buyers. A lood manv nennle deceive
themselves as to these bonds; they furnishes as many opportunities for
think that because the payment oiltl,e building of homes and Increasing
principal Is put off for a term years j tl,e wealth of the county as the other,
thnt they will not have to worry. As'Thl" Improvement rould be made at
a matter of fact If we assume the re-
"ponslliillty for nil tliese bonds we will
have to go down into our pockets ami

that makes butterfat come high. Our
farmers could do the same thing here
If they would unite and follow their
example. But they vote a million dol
lars In bonds and they would not in
crease their bank account one cent
they might have to sell their cows to
pay their taxes. The proposition is
misleading because it assumes that
$200,000 would build and repair and
hardsurface 120 miles of road. How
is thts? To say nothing about build
ing any new roads, and suppose you
used the cheapest material for sur-
lui-iug, wuuu pimiKiDg, ana suppose yuu
could get It delivered along the right
of way for $15. per M. which you
could not not tliese times, the material
would cost $4,500 a mile or $540,000.
The $200,000 would scarcely make a
beginning.
The proposition Is unfair because it
Ssks us to bond the county to the full
legal limit that we are allowed to bond
and then appropriates a large part of
it where there is no public demand for
a road and leaves out a very important
section without any aid. It proposes
to construct a hard surfaced road from
Toledo to Elk City by way of Mill
Creek. This would make a double
track of hard surfaced roads between
those two points while other near by
points for which there is public de- ;
mand get nothing. From Elk City the j
natural and easy and economic route .
is by the way of Pioneer and Simpson
Creek, and it is a shorter route than 1
by the way of Mill Creek. There Ih '
only one team owned between Elk ,
City and Mill Creek. This proposed
line from Toledo runs over tldelands,
near tidelands, and miles of rock cut
that make It a very expensive road to
build notwithstanding an Imported
county road Supervisor who located It
saia mat the cost would be light. 1
would advise those who disagree with
me on this matter to fellow the sur-;
vey stakes from Toledo to Elk City.
But this Is not the worst feature in the
building of this road. The Yaciulna :
River, In Its wlndinrs and wanderings
tmm EMI CI... . ,, .
iu .win v. reeK rorms tile
'hueh Ox How or Peninsula with iu
aplx at Logans Point and Its base near
the old Government Quarry. It Is
four miles around tills peninsula and
only one fourth of a mile across Its
base four miles of expensive road to
build to get one fourth of a mile. This
is not the little but the big Joker that
makes this route impracticable. This
is why It Is nearer from Elk City to
Toledo and the coast by the way of
Simpson Creek. I would advise those
who are not famllliar with this route
to call at the Clerks or Assessors olflcs
and examine a large map which gives
an exact description of this great Ox
Bow. If any one should advise the
building of a hard surfaced road from
Toledo to Newport along the river and
bay would think that his mentnl t.ul-1
ance wus out of gear and yet the two
propositions are nearly identical.
The two most Important valleys In
the central part of our county are the
YaqulnaLlttle Elk and the Big Elk.
These valleys Join at Elk City and
both valleys can most directly and
economically reach the coast on a
trunk line by the way Simpson creek,
and Toledo. No road of eiiuul kntth
In the county could be permanently
Improved at so little expense as the
road through the Big Elk Valley. Tills
valley contains as many tillable m-rcs
as the valley of the YanulnaLlttle Klk.
