new location and to the voting of
bonds to purchase it. Councilman
Fenton then made a motion to call
a special election to vote bonds for
the purchase of the 100x100 foot site

ROAD TO BE BUILT
THIS YEAR.
REGULAR COURT SESSION
July Session Oiiens Tomorrow; Re
port of Viewers on Cooper Hollow
Road and loiiosed Route in Eola.
Hills to Have Consideration; VVUI
Settle June Bills.
Consideration of road matters and
action upon the regulur batch of
claims against the county, will occu-
nv the attention of the Polk county
court which meets In regular session
in this city tomorrow. Iteport oi
the viewers on the proposed cooper
Hollow road and also a proposed
highway In the Eola hills, will be re
ceived and action taken thereon. It
is possible that other matters may
be brought up.
Weather Hinders Work
Tt is stated that the weather for
thp nnst two weeks has greatly re
tarded work on the county roads, es
pecially at the rock crusher plants.
At ronk crusher plant No. 2, In the
Lyons' yard on Salt Creek, there is
still three or four days work to do
done, after which the plant will ue
moved to the Lee quarry near Bridge
port to finish the season.
a inmn amount of road work is
being done in the county at this time
no less than 21 crews, consisting of
more than 50 men, and two-thirds
as many teams being employed. It
la ovnPf'tPri that about eight miles or
rock road will be built this year, and
nearly the same amount of road will
be graveled. The lurgest crew is at
work In the Wtllamina district.
Tax Soon Kxhau.sted.
It is said that the Bpeclul tax of
eight mills voted by the residents of
that district under which the work
has been done, will be exhausted In
30 days following which the work
will be carried on with money from
the general road fund for another
month, when operations will have to
be suspended.
Trouble has been experienced In
getting gravel from Corvallls. as
previously noted, and but a small
portion of the amount contracted for
by the county court has been deliv
ered. Considerable gravel has been
hauled from the Willamette river,
however, and roads In that vicinity
have received the benefit. Ten
thousand feet of gravel from the
Corvallls bunkers will be delivered
In the county by the R. P. railway
company. This will be used In four
districts, and between 500 and 700
feet of gravel secured from the river
will be used In each of 15 other dis
tricts where work Is projected or un
er way.
The total amount of road work in
..... ......ntv for the present year will.
' it Is beloved, equal that of last year.
