I Court Gtes New
Policy on Oiling
Stronger Sub grades to Be
Aim, Delegation From
East find Advised
Another large delegation's re
quest for road oiling led the coun
ty court. yesterday to issue a new
declaration of policy, one of
building stronger, better drained
subgrades as bases for oiling and
of taking still greater care in des
ignating roada for oiling.
The delegation yesterday came
from Silverton and the Victor
Point district to urge that at least
a part of the road between those
two communities be placed on the
1937 oiling program and its sur
facing scheduled for eventual
completion. Dr. P. A. Loir,
spokesman, said a careful aurvey
had been made before it was de
cided this was the road whose oil
ing wonld be of the greatest ben
efit to the eastern part of the
covnty. Other speakers Included
George W. Hubbs. George A.
Steelhammer. Earl Adams, Dolph
Carpenter. Elmer Lawrence. Ivan
Darby, . Ed Charlesworth, Theo
dore . Fisher, Julius Krens and
William Krenx..
Precedent Feared
- When It was pointed out that
oiling of Meridian road from
Monitor to Silverton had also
been strongly urged upon the
court but had been held np by
one farmer's demand for f 100
for right-of-way. Dr.' Loar ex
plained that Silverton wanted the
improvement but would not es
tablish a precedent of raising
funds for right-of-way. .,
The . road oiling program -was
conducted experimentally in 19 35
and 193 C. the delegation was told,
and now the court hopes to profit
from its experience, which has
shown, among other things, that
somewhat heavier base construc
