1931 is Biggest Year in Im
proving of Highways
I Of Oregon
' The accompanying chart pre
pared by the Oregon- State Motor
association . shows graflcallr the
progress la state highway . Im
provement since November S 0th,
If 24. - At that time there were
over 1300 miles of unimproved
road on the state highway sys
tem. ' At that time also Oregon
was Jnst entering Jato Its pro
gram of road oiling. - ; ; ;
la the six years following, Ore
gea had reduced the unimproved
mileage to 239 mile and tip until
December 31 of last year .we had
oiled approximately 40 per cent of
oar" entire highway mileage a
total of 104 miles.
This year 19 31) Is Oregon's
biggest rear in highway Improve
ment and through the medium' of
increased Federal appropriation
we will make more progress In
highway construction than In any
previous year. . .. "
. , There have been approximately
300 miles of roads improved each
biennium since 1924 a total of
979 miles In the six year period,
i The graded but unsurfaced sec
tions of the accompanying chart
shew that the Highway Commis
sion has kept surfacing projects
la Uno withnew construction, as
during the . same six year period
the graded but unsurfaced roads
have only increased, from 3 IS
mile la 1924 to 408 miles at the
end , of 1930, a net Increase ot
only 90 miles, while during the
same period 979 miles were grad
ed. ... .
-At tha ond of last year only t
per cent of the state highway
mileage remained unimproved and
this figure will be-materially re
duced at the end of 1931.
Reconstruction and betterments
have been carried on continuously
dnring this period as is evidenced
by the tact that in oiled roads
alone; 40 per cent of the state
highway system has been better
ed. ? During this time our bonded
indebtedness for state highways
has been reduced approximately
ten million dollars.
