ORE making daily trips Cioverdale to Tillamook and with the numerous trucks and automobiles that are passing and repassing on this road besides these two auto stages to have anything hut a cement-bound road is like pouring dollars in the rut boles to have them thrown in the ditches by the autos. We have built our roads and built them well but without the cement bind ing what we have done will soon be destroyed. The state commission plan of road building is first to make con tinuous roails, roads that lead to | and through a county. Such a road has been surveyed from Sea side through Clatsop county to the north boundary line of Tillamook county and 2J0 men are now at j work grading and making this ! road. Now, by the plan as carried at the tax-payers’ meeting, the state engineers will survey a road | through Tillamook county to the south boundary line. Tliia survey is to be paid for by the county, the amount estimated is $12,000 to $15,000, but as soon as the survey is accepted and the county begins improvement on this road the amount is returned to the county for improvement on such road. This survey is to be made at once and estimates of cost of construc tion of the road submitted to the county court. As explained by the state’s assist ant field worker the survey is made to secure es near a level grade as possible, to accommodate the greatest number, and with a a view of making the development of the country more rapid In fact the location of this trunk line will he the result of the investiga- J 1 . "1 ■ ■ tion of the engineering corps of the state. Where they decide, after the matter has been reviewed Oy the county court, it will go, and by adopting the plan as decided upon by both engineers and the county court, the survey will cost the county nothing in the eud. This county through a state tax levy contributes to a fund used for such work and as long as it does not avail itself of the privil ege granted by the state it is assist ing other counties but not bene- fitting itself. The plan as above outlined will eliminate the contention over road matters in the north end of the county and where it is necessrry to make changes anywhere ulong the line the state commission will take the responsibility and not the county commissioner. As to raising the money forcom- pleting the road and hard surfac ing the same it will be necessary tn wait for the completiou of the sur vey and estimates of cost of con struction in order to know just the amount necessary to be raised. The first step seems to have been taken for the building of a prac tical road froyi one end of the county to the other. Bids Wanted.
