VOLUME 3
HEPPNER, OREGON, February 27 1917
NUMBER 4
J
V
o
Heppncr and Morrow Co. benefit ex
tensively by the provisions of the $6,
000,000 bonding bill for goad roads
building, which passed both branches
of the Legislature on Monday and
which will now come up for a vote of
the people at the special election on
June 4. As originally drafted the bill
did not provide for a road through
this section and Heppner people have
Senator Barrett to thank for looking
after their interests as Mr. Barrett
forced an amendment to the bill pro
viding for a hard surfaced highway
leading from the Columbia River at
Arlington south through lone, Lex
ington and Htppner in Morrow county
and tnence directly to Pilot Rock and
from there north to Pendleton and
Walla Walla.
The $G,000 000 bond issue is gent,
ally considered the greatest piece of
constructive legislation for good roads
ever passed in Oregon' and is to be put
before the people in June strictly on
its merits. The plan for raising the
money to repay the bond issue is in
sympathy with the views ofva large
number of prominent citizens through
out the state. The bill provides for
an increase of the present license of
small automobiles to $15 per year,
large autos to $25 and trucks to $50.
The regular quarter-mill road tax, ad
ded to the auto license revenue, would
le sufficient to reire the bond issue
in 25 years and leave sufficient funds
for the upKeep of the roads duin?
that ti'.ie. These figures are baaed
upon the present number of automo
biles in the state, 35,000, and 1200
trucks, and it Is easy to see that the in
crease in the number of machines will
provide further funds with which to
i uild and maintain needed highways.
Since it is the automobilist that pays
large share of this bond issue it is
not probable there will be any great
opposition to the scheme from the
general public. And the automobile
owner, of course, will be quick to see
the advantage of investing from $10
to $12 more per year for his license,
provided the money goes towards the
building of hard surfaced and perma
nent roads.
The bill, as passed, designates the
arious roads that are to be built with
these funds throughout the state, and
rovers all the main highways leading
between principal points, up and down
the Willamette Valley, across the Cas
cades, from Astoria to the Eastern
line through The Dalles, Boardman,
outstanding feature of the bill ana
which is the feautre that will win vot
es for the bill when it comes before
the people, is that Multnomah Coun
ty foregoes all benefit in favor of the
up-state counties; this in spite of the
fact that it will contribute nearly one
half the funds. Multnomah County
already has nearly all of its roads
hard-surfaced and realizes that it will
receive a great indirect benefit from a
system of good roads throughout the
rest of the state

The Columbia River Highway
