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
