Pacific Highway in Clarke County Will Pass Up Strip Through . ' v La Center. Kidgefield. Wash, Aug. 20. Because the town of La Center was incorporated into a municipality a few years ago. a part of the Pacific highway will remain unpaved. A stats law forbids the use of state highway funds within the limits of an incorporated settlement, and for this reason when paving resumes on the Pa cific highway next year La Center will be passed up. v The assessed valuation of the town ' bt 60,ooo, and the cost of paving the half mile stretch through It would bo about 120.000. so although the com. munity may possess unlimited amounts of municipal spirit the funds necessary to finance the project within the In corporated limits are lacking. It has been proposed that La Center disincor porate, allow the state to finish the paving of the highway and then rein corporate, but the proposal -has not met TJIr I?7 Jm.ucb PProyJ among town fpcera With the exception of this stretch, the highway will bo graded this year and paved next year.
