Oiling Assured
To Eight Mile
By Bid Letting
Commission to
Hear Demand on
O-W Highway
Oiled surfacing for all the macad
amized stretch of the Heppner-Con-don
road, from the end of the pre
sent oiled portion at the F. E. Parker
ranch to the macadam's end beyond
the Eight Mile postoffice is assured,
according to Bert Johnson, county
judge. Assurance is given in a no
tice of bids to be let at the state
hffhway commission's meeting next
Thursday and Friday.
The notification for bids calls for
4.92 miles of grading and 11.92 miles
of oiled surfacing.
Grading will include that portion
of the road between Parker's and
Rugg's on Rhea creek which will be
brought up to the same standard
as that part of the road between
Heppner and Parker's that was com
pleted last year. Beyond Rugg's to
the end of the Eight Mile macadam
specifications call for a "dust" oiled
coat, said the judge.
The court had been told when in
Salem recently that the oiling be
yond Rugg's could probably be set
up this year, but definite assurance
could not then be given. Work of
grading is expected to start next
month, but oiling will probably be
deferred until next summer.
The Morrow county court expects
to present a strong case for work
on the Oregon-Washington high
way between the Hanna ranch and
Lena when the state highway com
mission visits here the evening of
September 2. Log hauling is having
a devastating effect on this sector of
Morrow county's only primary high
way (aside from Columbia across
the north end), and the opportunity
to show the commission first hand
will not be overlooked.
September 2 has been tentatively
set for the commission's visit here
on an itinerary of eastern Oregon
points, and the chamber of com
merce is preparing to greet the vis
itors at a public luncheon.
The work now being let on the
Heppner-Condon road, and that in
prospect, will see the Morrow coun
ty portion of this road completed
within the next few years, Johnson
said. A sum of $70,000 is slated to
be set up in the commission's 1942
budget, making the fund available in
July, 1941, for completing the grade
and surfacing beyond Eight Mile to
the Burton Wilson grade on Rock
creek, the remainder of the road
within this county. The Gilliam
county portion is already surfaced
so that when the Morrow county end
is done all of the road will have
been improved, lessening the time
considerably, and providing a year
'round road between here and Condon.
