OREGON FRIDA Y, MARCH 26, 1988 Nice Work If You Can Get It STW EH OUSK GOSSIP (Continued from page one) More than $2,000,000 in federal road funds may be lost to Oreogn next year because of inability of »tr the state to provide match money, according to R. H. Baldock, state highway engineer. Of the $238,000,000 in federal roa<^ funds ' set aside for 1989 $4,842,984 will be available to Ore gon. Of this latter amount $3,- 188,000 is available only on condi tion that the state match it with $2,745,000 of its own money. Be cause of inability to provide this match money only $500,000 of thia money will be taken up by the state this year. It is hoped that state funds will enable Oregon to take up another $8,000,000 of the federal aid next fall. Included in the federal funds allocated to Oregon, however, will be $1,254,044 of forest highway money and $400,000 for forest roads <and trails, none of which is dependent. upon state match money. ’ ■/ - •< *-.
