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

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.
