I ! thr la a, effort being msd by the Pen dleton Commrri'lal aaaut'lalkui ta gl the wMly furmeJ Tax Commute to oppnae further woi k on the Pendleton Walla Wall road between Wn and Milton. This I think would be muMak and I lrul the rommltlr will not go on rcrdk opposing the further ma ceriamUIng of this road. Whether true or vlherwla the lm prvesloa la out that the PendUinn Commercial association haa started this move to tp further improve ment on the Kast End part, as the road la now completed frm Pendleton to the dividing line whore further Im provement might divert traffic tow aid Walla Walla and that the work once atopped on thla road It would be only A short time until an eltort will bo mad to etart work out of IVmllnton In other dlrectlona I think thl work ahould continue until the gap la rloaed up, aa thl road completed will affect and accommo date mora people and a greater amount of trarflo than any other road In the county, and la certainly entitled to the preference la work. I favor the Improvement of the road In the West end of the county and hope anon to the road opened and Improved from Pendlrton to I'm- tllla and Intermediate town. Thla I think ahould be started now. but not to the exclusion of the completion of the gap from Weston to Milton. The section served by thl road con stitute the great laxpaylng commun ity and to the oldest settled part ot the county and the people will hold thla against Pendleton should the Taxpay er' committee be Influenced by the Pendleton Commercial association la their action In this matter. The question of the durability of a macadamised road depend on Ita con struction bnt It la not a difficult Job to make a durable road of thla type. That the three coat work aa done on the Wild Homo road la open to censure i win admit, a I have at all time aid the finish coat of fine crushed rock laid without an oil or asphalt binder waa an experiment The macadam laid on Main street of Athena has been In us 1 year ana has atood the lest. Had thl street been oiled each year the atreet hows that It would tand for all time. lin IMtle or no repair and but little sprinkling now after IS year conatant ue la practically aa good aa new. Thla rock waa placed on the tret a It came from the crusher, the coarse and fine all mixed together. This nss convinced me that this method le pref- erabl aa the fault with the tnree coat work Is In the last, or finish coat. This soon breaks loose from the foun dation and without constant rare and nil nr aaohalt binder soon go , to niece. The fault I In the tyl or finish or construction and ahould not be used to condemn other style of laying macadam road. I want to see the commissioner continue the construction or macaa amlxed roads but I think they should chance the system of laying same to conform to more durable use aa me test at Athena has demonstrated.
