Floods Nullify
Much Work on
County Roads
The recent floods nave nulli
fied much of the work done on
county roads and have made
many food roads bad roads, ac
cording to Marion county Judge
Grant Murphy Wednesday. Judge
Murphy regarded the present cold
snap with an apprehensive hope
that it would warm up, else the
county roads would suffer greater
damage.
M'irphy pointed out-that since
the heavy rains and flood that
there is much water in the ground
Jut under the surface of the
oiled roads in Marion county, and
that a serious freeze would turn
this water to Ice. The resulting
pressure from the ice would
cause the oiled surfaces of the
roads only two to three inches
thick to heave and buckle, and
when the ice melted would drop
down lea irtg huge chuck holes.
Damage to county roads re
ported to Murphy and county
commissioners Ed Rogers and Roy
Rice i as follows:, the bridge on
the McKce-Woodbtirn highway at
the Pudding river crossing was
reported unsafe lor travel due to
