Broadway Graded Estacada’s Broadway, the main business street o f the city, is now a thorof are to be proud of, having been completely graded to with in eight inches o f the curb line, the grade having been well roll ed and smoothed off. This grade will probably settle a few inches, after being well dampened and rolled, following which, a combination concrete and crushed rock hard surface pavement will be constructed, the work being financed under the provisions of the Bancroft Bond ing Act. The grade has already been es tablished on Third St. between Main and Zobrist Sts. and the work of putting down a boulder bed is underway, the boulders being excavated from the 2nd St. hill road near the Boulevard. By taking the earth excavated from the 3rd St. job and using same to make the Broadway fill and in turn excavating the 2nd St. hill road to furnish a founda tion for the 3rd St. rocked road, a big economy is being exercised in the city’s road money. The work to date has been well done, with few complaints reg istered and many local men and teams obtaining employment. Already civic pride has been stimulated by Broadway’s neat appearance, with several mer chants making improvements and much new painting scheduled for this summer.

Bulletin No. 2 Why We Are Opposing A Government Armor Plant To the P eople: Some people say that the very fact that the Bethlehem Steel Company is so aggressively fighting the proposal to build a Government armor plant is conclusive proof that the Company is seeking to assure for itself the "vast profits” derived from private manufacture. T h e fa c t U th a t a r m o r m a k in g ia th e leant p r o fita b le fe a t u r e o f ste e l m a n u fa c tu r e . * * * The reason we oppose a Government plant is very simple. It is this: Even though there is but little profit in the making of armor, we have invested over $7,000.00(1 in our armor plant; Eastern Clackamas is glad to hear that more hardsurfaced pav ing is Iteing considered but will be lots more tickled to learn that this part o f the county will re ceive at least a small share o f said improvements. It kind o f goes against the grain to hear of hardsurfaced paving being built in the lower end of the county, with the famous Boring Hill Road, in the deplorable con dition it is in. when a small a- mount o f money will make it passable. ^ Chester Wotner, who has com pleted his Freshman year at Willamette University returned to his home in Estacada this week. o f th e U n ite«!

That plant is useless for any other purpose; if a Government plant is built the useful ness of our plant is destroyed. , It w ould be good business for us to make armor for the G overn m ent ut any price over and above the actual shop cost, RAT HER THAN SACRIFICE OUR ENTIRE INVESTMENT. We do not seek to save big profits: our purpose is very frankly to save our armor t plant— itself built solely for the use of the Government— from going to the scrap heap.
