I. PAGE THREE The OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon, Sunday Morning, September 29, 1929 COAST HIGHWAY TO BE PUSHED Governor Promises Comple tion of Road by Time Bridge Finished The contract ' for fh Plftted gap in the Roosevelt high way la Lane and Douglas coun ties, probably will be awarded by th time the proposed new Rogue RiTer bridge at Weddeburn, Cur ry county. 4s completed, according to". Governor Patterson, who Sat nrday received a delegation, from the seven Oregon, coast counties who urge early completion of the Roosevelt military road. The bridge contract will be awarded next year. The governor said he based his statement on a recent conversa tion with two members of the atateway commission. The gov ernor went farther, however, and declared that the proceedings of hla meeting with the coast delega tion would be submitted in full to! the state highway commission, and that the entire question at is sue would be discussed. Caravans Come From Opposite Directions The delegations from the coast counties included two caravans, one of which came direct from Astoria and Seaside, and the other by way of Crescent City, Calif. Ap proximately 150 persons were in the two caravans. A. W. Norblad. state senator and prominent Astoria . attorney, said that the people of the coast counties believed that the state highway commission should re issue approximately $1,000,000 of bonds annually for a period of five years for the completion of the Roosevelt highway and other road3 included in the state road program. It was made plain by Norblad that the citiiens of the coast county were not selfish in their request, for the reason that they did not expect all the money would be expended on the coast road. He said he assumed, how ever, that the Roosevelt highway would receive a just proportion of the money derived from the sale of the new bonds. He estimated the cost of completing the Roose velt highway at $4,000,000. Senator Norblad stressed the contention that the Roosevelt highway became a part of the state highway system in 1921, bat that no money was spent In its construction during the period 1917 to 1922. He. said the state highway commission had expend ed $42,000,000 on highway funds before one cent was spent on the coast road. "It has been said," declared Norblad, "that the state has spent $12,000,000 In the construction of the Roosevelt highway. This is not true. There has been ex pended on this road only $6,000, 000 of state funds. The entire expenditure of the state highway commission has been in excess of $100,000,000." Coast Counties Said Heavily Assessed Norblad averred that the seven coast counties in Oregon had giv en a greater amount of money for the construction of the Roosevelt highway, than had other counties for the construction of roads serv ing their respective districts. It was Norblad's contention that the completion of the Roose velt highway wonld attract a suf ficient number of tourists to build up a gasoline tax which would more than pay the interest on the proposed bond issues.
