Denies County
Road Situation
Is 'Deplorable
(Related Story, Pate 1)
Declaring that the condition of
Lane County roads is not "deplor
able," County Commissioner Al
len P. Wheeler Saturday Issued a
statement answering previous re
ports on the status of county
highways.
Commissioner Wheeler's state,
ment follows:
Only one who is entirely Ignor
ant of Lane County's road pro
gram or who completely disre
gards the truth could put out such
information as is contained in an
article, "County Road System
Needs Improvement, But the Out
look Isn't Too Promising" which
appeared in the Eugene Register
Guard 'of Sunday, July 14, and is
attributed to County Engineer P.
M. Morse. In support of my state
ment, I wish to point out a few
facts which the records will verify.
As to maintenance, the county
during the 12 months ending June
30, 1946, has crushed 83,768 yards
of rock and purchased 48,206 yards
or a total of 131,874 yards. Some of
this rock has been placed in stock
pile for future use, but a like
amount of stock pile rock has been
put oh county roads. So approxi
mately 13974 yards of rock have
been added to our roads during
the year.
Power Machines Working
As to blade work, 10 power
machines have been continually at
work (except for break downs and
repair) blading and ditching the
1500 miles of county roads. The re
pair of oiled roads has been re
tarded by unfavorable weather, as
patching cannot be done in the
rain. As a result of this condition,
a third patching crew has been
added to the force and patching
work is being done as rapidly as
weather will permit.
True, our roads are not in per
fect condition, but neither are
they in a deplorable condition.
And much more can be said than
that "they are open."
Among the construction projects
for the past year are the follow
ing: ROADS
Babb road connecting River
Avenue and Hunsaker Lane, 1
miles, new grade and rock.
flace road near fall Creek,
1 miles, new grade and rock.
Eleventh Street Semuca
area connection, 1 mile, new
grade and rock.
West Eleventh Street to Haw
kins Hill," mile, new grade.
Myers road extension, near
Saginaw, 1 mile new grade, par
tially completed.

Pope Receives
U.S. Officials
VATICAN CITY Pope
Pius urged a group of American
senators and representatives whom
he received Saturday in private
audience to share the experiences
acquired on their around the
world journey, so that men will
understand more fully "the havoc
wrought by war and the tremen
dous difficulty of reconstruction."
The Pope spoke in English. He
told his listeners, who arrived
from Cairo by way of Athens, that
the spectacles of shattered land
scapes that they had seen and the
havoc in the lives of men should
not be "locked away in idle mem
ory." The pontiff afterward received a
second group of Americans, in
cluding Postmaster General Rob
ert E. Hannegan, Undersecretary
of War W. Stuart Symington, Sen
Millard E. Tydings of Maryland
and Gael Sullivan, second assist
ant postmaster general. The Pope
also addressed this group in Eng
lish.
"Truly plteuos," said the pon
tiff, "is the physical condition of
multitudes today, more piteous by
far, the spiritual.'
Thousands, he said, craved the
consolations of religion, and "in
many lands find it difficult to se
cure them."

added to this list but these are
some of the major ones.
As to plans for future work,
aside from the two mentioned in
the article as being the only ones
contemplated, county equipment
has been at work for two weeks
and will likely continue through
the entire summer on the Route
F project of constructing a trail
over the mountain where the 1775
ft. tunnel is contemplated. (This
is a major project.)
Other projects . contemplated
include:
. 1. A connecting link from
Springfield City limits to the
Mohawk road.
2. New entrance from the old
Goldson road to the State high
way No. 36 at Bear Creek.
3. Making turnouts on the
Thompson Creek-Indian Creek
road to allow for school bus- and
logging truck operations in a
narrow winding road.
4. Eliminating bad curves on
North Fork of Siuslaw.
5. Riprap on Mackey road
along Fern Ridge Lake.
6. Raise grade on Miller road
near old Lord place.
7. Finish and rock Myers
road near Saginaw.
8. Raisefill North Beech road.

County Does Have Program
Concerning the projected oiling

was made up in January, as the
law provides must be done, and
Includes (instead of the five miles
according to the article previously
mentioned) 49.8 miles. That pro
gram is under way at the present
time.
(Editor's Note: The five miles
reported should have read 50.)
It is not likely that all the
work contemplated can be done
this year, but the county does
have a program and the work
