Modernization of Hiway (sic) 99 in Oregon by 1970 announced by commission
The Oregon Highway com-
mission Tuesday disclosed
details of a proposed high-
way program which would see
$71,534,000 in federal aid in-
terstate funds spent on projects
on US 99, Pacifi c Highway, be-
tween Portland and the Califor-
nia border in the next six years.
State Highway Engineer W.C.
Williams said the projects are
one major phase of an overall
federal aid program designed to
invests $642 million in modern-
ization of Oregon’s highway by
1970.
“Largest of the planned jobs
on the Pacifi c highway is the
completion of the straight-line
four-lane route from Salem to
Eugene,” Williams said.
During the past year, the state
highway department completed
construction of four-lane high-
way along the entire length of
the Baldock freeway from Port-
land to Salem and fi nished up a
two-mile four-lane project south
of Salem near Illahee.
Plans now call for construc-

“We estimate that the 44 miles
of construction over this stretch
will cost $20,897,000 in federal
aid funds exclusive of purchase
of the right-of-way,” the engi-
neer said.
At the Salem end of the new

Update
gan on Monday. Pick-
ups are also scheduled the week
of Dec. 5-9 and Dec. 19-23.
Those who wish to have their
leaves collected are asked to:
Pile leaves on the street sur-
face near the gutter or edge of
the road if there is no gutter.
Please keep the gutter, ditches
and street grates free of leaves.
Pile leaves so they do not
block bike or traffi c lanes.
Do not put leaves in plastic
bags.
Debris such as branches,
shrub prunings, rocks, metal,
lawn clippings and leaves in
plastic bags will not be picked
up. Because leaf pickup will
be accomplished with a front
end loader and dump trucks,
leaf piles that are under or very
close to parked cars will not be
picked up.
More information about the
leaf pickup program is available
at the City’s web page, www.

During the course of a day,
the Finance Department takes
a number of service orders re-
garding water and wastewater
services. Service orders are
processed for a variety of rea-
sons, including re-reads of water
meters when a leak is suspected,
turning water service on for new
customers and shutting off ser-
vice when requested by our
customers. In an effort to create
effi ciencies in the processing of
service orders, staff is now us-
ing iPads in the fi eld. A service
order is generated by Finance
Staff, delivered via email to
Water Department personnel on
the iPad. Once completed, it is
sent back to the Finance Depart-
ment for entry into the utility
billing software. The City said
this saves time for all personnel
involved and provides a quicker
response time to customer re-
quests.
