Gates Tells of Extensive
Work in Medford Area for
. Coming Year Widening
South Without Detours
Is Planned.
W'hilo the state highway commis
sion at present has 150 men work
ing out of .Medford in the Medford
district on various highway inv
provements, with the big highway
development work to be placed un
der way next spring hundreds
more of men will be placed at work,
and by the end of the year about
6U0 men will have been employed
in tliis work.
This news was given out today
by C. K. Gates, resident member
of the state highway commission,
who returned to the city yesterday
from Salem and Portland, where
he attended the recent meeting of
the commission. Various Btate
highway Improvements in the Med
ford district will he started some
time this spring as soon as all pre
liminary details have been complet
ed and the weather permits.
Chief of immediate local interest
perhaps is thai the Pacific highway
between a mile this side of Talent,
where it connects with the wid
ened highway work done last year
between that point and Medford, is
to he widened to a point beyond
Ashland. This will make the high
way the standard 20 feet width be
tween Medford and Aahlund.
Use No Detouri
This new widening work will not
only lie done mostly by hand labor
and trucks, giving employment to
about. 60 men, but will be done
without any detours, tho state high
way commission itself doing the
work by force account, Instead of
letting out by contract.
Next and almost paramount In
local Interest Is the fact that the
commission Is going to re-route the
Pacific highway between this end
of North Riverside and Central
Point, no matter what objections
might be raised. The' commission
decided on this re.routing of that
stretcli of tho highway last year to
do away with curves und it will he
remembered that much objection
from certain quarters was entered,
but the reason that the commission
did not do this work then was that
it did not have the money on band
for the purpose.
This year the commission has
the money, and the work will be
done next Bprlng, giving employ
ment to about 76 men.
Kniploy 12r Men.
Then, too, it 38,000 will bn
Kpont by tho oommlSHion on the
new Diamond lake road between
l.'nlon creek nnd Diamond lake,
as soon as the weather permits,
employing about 125 men, along
with machines.
On January 16 a now contract
will be let for about 10 miles of
regradlng ami eight miles of re
surfacing on the Kagje Point-Trail
section of the Crater I.oko high
way. From 7", to 100 men will
be employed on this Job.
Another project for the Med-ford-Aslilnnd
section will be the
