LOOP ROAD ROUTE
CAUSES HOT TILT
" After an extended .debate on the
proper 'location of the Mount Hood
loop highway between Gresham and ;
Brihtwood, the commlasiofk took
under advisement Tuesday the ques- j
tlen of ordering a detailed survey
of what la known as the north of
Sandy route, advocated; by Portland
, officials and others.
The argument In behalf of this route
was sustained principally by Ous Moser,
City Attorney La Roche. City Engineer
Laursaard and City Commissioner
Mann. Opposed to them were the pro
ponents of the south of ; Sandy route,
which runs from Greshanv' to Bright
wood by way of Kelso and Sandy. So
far as applause was concerned the speak
ers for the southern route had much the
best of It. as the court room was filled
with a large delegation of residents of
Sandy and other sections of Clackamas
county. Ous Moser even intimated that
the meeting may , have been . packed.
JUDGE BIMICK SPEAKS
Commissioner Mann Introduced a Joint
report of a survey made by City En
gineer Laursraard. , Engineer Kandlett of
the water bureau and former City En
gineer Morris, in which it was claimed
that the distance by the southern route
was 32.48 miles, as compared with 22.95
north of the Sandy river. " '
Whatever the difference m cost of
construction there might be in favor, of
the southern route was. it was claimed,
more than counterbalance; by the extra
cost of right of way and difficulties of
drainage.
While It was admitted that the route
surveyed by the state highway depart
ment on the south side was the best one
that could be found on that side, it Was
contended that In an improvement in
volving: the expenditure of $1,000,000 a
complete survey should also be made of
the northern route before a decision
was made. It was held that from
trunk road standpoint the north side was
the logical one.
In behalf of the soutfiside location,
Jnr Dtmick of Ore r on City SDoke from
the viewpoint of county, and city devel
opment.; saying that the southern route
passed through the greatest area of agri
cultural ..country. ..
COKTKOTERSTtrOBE8TAI.I,EI
- Another survey, he said, ; would not
demonstrate the superiority of the
northern location, but would simply de
lay the improvement of the road. As a
booster for more farm production. Cir
cuit Judge Stapleton came to the ranks
. of the Clackamas county people In be
half of the southern route, as did Sena
tor George W. Josephs.
The highway department Is Just com
. plettng a survey of the northern route.
which indicates that the route Is slightly
shorter than the northern route and can
be constructed for approximately $200.
000 lesaf Until the details are- fully
worked out, however, the commission
will not take further action relative to
the location. . . "

its construction. It was contended that
roads of primary importance, such as
the John Day i highway, would be de
prived of the necessary support.
There were several bids on the pro
ject, including one from the Lane county
court. After they were opened the mat
ter was disposed of by an agreement
that the Leedy protest would be with
drawn and the lettis of the contract be
deferred until Its legality could be passed
on by Attorney General Brown. The
