CO I-NTT OFFICIAL. PAPER
' - r i al summing up of the cx
Ies!e ;k ouiit In connection with the
grading A the road on Jones hill re
veals an amount about 100 per cent
In .. s of all estimates furnished
the u.-i'y Court prior to the begin
nJrjR of "-ork. The Court called for
estimates on this job and got figures
fr n; Mr. Baldock, engineer In charge
of w.ir': here and attached to the
Sta' Highway Commission. His first
IV .jgested that the work could
be d ine for around $10,000 and later
he rr i -"d his figures and gave the
Ci : i estimate around $15,000,
and the vort was authorized. Since
the grading is completed, Baldock
comes in with the figures of cost
amounting to $25,054.26 for 3.22
mi.es of grading on the Jones hill.
The Court raises no question re
garding the work. The job has been
well djne and is pronounced by those
who should konw, one of the best
pieces cf work in the entire county.
The sore spot v.Kh the Court seems
to be the great cost. They acted in
the best of faith in going into the
work, and were advised continually
by the engineer that the job was be
ing pert -rmed within the bounds of
his estimate, therefore the nearly
100 per cent increase has given the
Court a severe shock. They have a
right to feel that they were some
what buncoed by the engineer and
led to wonder if the State Highway
Commission will have no better man
on the job here to assist in carrying
on the work in the future. Surely a
man that can not come closer to
what a job of work of this kind
should cost when completed than thi:
one did, ought to be in some other
line of business.
Some $68,000 was spent in road
work this season in grading and ma
cadamizing of roads, the greater por
tion of which was on the line of the
State Highway through Heppner, and
the county will get back $19,000 of
this sum, being the amount advanced
on behalf of the state. The program
for the coming year, on the part of
the State Highway Commission calls
for the completion of the Columbia
Highway across the north end of
Morrow county, a distance of 24
miles. For this work the county will
expend $22,000 and the State will
complete the job, having allowed
$130,000 for this purpose. The High
way Commission has also given to
this county $30,000 additional which
will be used for harftsurfacing the
mileage already graded and macad
amized. Just how much further the
county will go with this class of work
the coming year will be left to the
new court to decide.
We trust the new court may be
spared in its labors of road building
the faulty estimates under which the
retiring court has had to work. But
we are ready to give the retiring
members all credit, notwithstanding
of having begun a good work and
trust that it will be continued just
as fast as possible, that the county
may eventually have a system of
good highways.

successful, the most of the stock

monthly sales are a fine thing for
Heppner, being the means of draw

town, and they should be encouraged
by the community. It should be a
fixed program, to be called regularly
each month, as such sales are
mutually beneficial to the farmers
