CITY OF HOOD RIVER MAY HELP COUNTY IN BUILDING GOOD ROADS Move to Change the Charter Started at a Meeting Ad- dressed by Benson, Yeon, TALKS RESULT GETTERS Several Thousand Dollars to B Span ftt Onos In BKJly-Nssdsd Improvs msnts on Columbia Highway. Hood River, Or., July 20. A big (rood raa.An meeting was held at the Comtnerclal club room Thursday when the local citizens were addressed by Amos Benson and John 15. Yeon, of Portland, on the subject of better hlg"U ways. Mr. Benson said in part: "The impression is out in Hood Riv er county that It has dono all it can and has done its share. It has done splendidly, but Oregon has not a sin gle county carrying: a, 10-mlll road tax while in Washington there ia only one county in the atate. King, that has less than a 10-mlll road tax. The counties of Oregon are not measuring up to tha counties in Washington in the matter of tax levies for good roads, ays City Should Help. "Tha citizens of the city of Huod River are paying no county roaJ tax and I would advise that you have your charter changed at once so as to pay your road tax to the county. Then you can have a voice in the matter of county roads end the city's contribu tion to the tax fund will be a material help to the county. The country folk I'iin get along -without the city but the city cannot get along without the coun try people. "I have just completed a trip over the Pacific highway from Seattle to Portland and set my speedometer at 0 when leaving Seattle and found that 1 had traveled -UG miles In reaching Portland of which one-half was paved. Now, what the counties In Washington have done and are doing wj in Oregon can surely do and I believe we will." Mr. Benson urged the immediate ex penditure of a sufficient sum by the cltixens of Hood River county to eliminate soma of the bad curvca In the highway and build a number of passing places for autos on long an crooked grades between Hood River and the Multnomah county line. Mr. -Yeon also urged that the city of Hood River get in the county gpod roads game by paying a county road tax. Mr. Yeon cited several instances where good roads had materially en riched the communities building them and reduced fares and freicht rates for passenger and commodity, traffic. PnyaJiup Instance Cited, "The two by seven mile raspberry industry at PuyaMup. in Pierce county, Washington, was made possible by the good roads that were built in order that this delicate fruit might be carried to market without making Jelly of it. Last year it brought in about $1,000,000 ir.to the ovmmunlty for berries shipped out. This is big business for r small community, and other benefits In pro portion accrue from good roads," said Mr. Yeon. Mr. Yeon cited the (act that a high way was being built on the north bank of the Columbia parallel with the Co lumbia river highway and that the road was of first class construction, and that it behooved every county In Oregon to get back of the good roads movement on a state-wide basis and forget the Immediate local benefits for the greater good of the state. Mr. Yeon estimated that It would require $200,000 to complete the Columbia river highway on the state's survey through Hood . River county. It was determined at the meeting to proceed at once to spend several thousand dollars in making some neces sary improvements in Hood River county by widening the road and pro viding passing places on grades at dangerous points and surfacing the rough sections with crushed rc.k screenings. The good roads committee of the Commercial club will have charge of the campaign. A committee consisting of Mayor H. L. Dumble. City Attorney George R. Wilbur and County Judge E. E. Stanton will work out a plan for the change of the city charter so as to place the city of Hood River in tlie county road tax paying column, and was tentatively agreed that as soon as the city makes this move the coun ty will take charge of the steel bridge and east side grade heretofore sup ported and maintained wholly by -e city. A committee tvas appointed to pro ceed at once to secure sufficibnt funds to place the Columbia highway in the best possible shape for the tourist travel that has been greatly on the Increase during the past two weeks.
