PAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRTBTJXE, MEDFOKI), OREGON, TUESDAY, JUXE 25, 1935. FN i NFFH OF KEEPING UP ROADS At the Klwanls meeting Monday uoon, Paul Rynnlng. county engineer, gave a very comprehensive review of the work done by the county court on roads the past ten years and told of the five-year program on oiling roads which began this year. Mr. Rynnlng anld when he was chosen engineer 10 years ago there were 12 road supervisors working In dependent of each oiher and having their separate equipment. Now there are no supervisors, the work being under three foremen, one man In charge of equipment, and a bridge foreman. The equipment la now all under direction of the engineer and Is housed, when not In use, In a modern machine shop near the fair gronnds and la under supervision of Tom Roseberry. where all machinery Is repaired and some of it la built. "Of the 1000 miles oi roaas ta mi county, about 800 miles are summer roads, that are practically Impossible in winter and 700 miles of all-year roads," said Mr. ltynnlng, who con tinued: "In 1920 the county spent about $400,000 on road work, while last year It was only about u,uuu. as the commissioners are holding down tax levies. It costs about 30,000 per year to maintain the county roads. The road tax this year Is 1.1 mills and the amount created by this tax, added to about 68.000 received from tho gns tax. together with market road funds, will make about 100.000 for all road purposes this year after deducting H5.000 Interest on bonds. The county court has sdopted a five-year program of oiling roads which provides for about ten miles per year and more when co-operation Is given by tho different communl ltes. The otllng to be done all over the county roads without the proper base cannot be oiled. "One of tho serious problems li to keep the present roads In proper re pair, with the Imlted funds, and some method will have to be arranged soon to create more funds or the rood base will be beyond repair. "Jackson county has 700 bridges, large and small, that must also be kept repaired and be replaced when worn out. the life of the average bridge being IS years. This year we will spend about M5.000 oi When asked about the heavy truck loads wearing out the roads, Mr. ltyn nlng said the state police keep In close touch with this problem and find that the truck men generally observe the lew, which Is a limit of 40.000 pounds, "it may be news to most of you," .kiri Mr. Rvnntnz In closing, "to know that the fast, light cars are h.rrior on the roads that era not mncadem or oiled than heavy traffic." Visitors at the meeting were Wr. Bennett, past present of the Brem erton club; H. O. Lytton, who re cently traded for 80 acres of the nurnntt. ranch south of the fair grounds east of Bear creek: Hermsn W. Ssunders and Dr. H. W. Lambert of Ban Diego, Cel.; County Judge Day and Commissioner Caster.

Eapay, ECW foreman, supervised by Norman J. Penlck, ad ministrative assistant for Rogue River national forest, have ' been at work In a spike camp, spotting, felling and I limbing the stricken trees. Next step In wiping out the beetle J will depend largely upon the weather, for each log Is allowed to He In the sun with each side exposed In turn, until the bugs are killed by the heat while still at work under the thin bark. If the weather Is hot, the for est service expects to complete the project by June 80. i Statistics released today reveal that ; In 1034 Infested trees In this area to i taled S965, while a census taken this i year reveals that only 1443 trees have been attacked by the beetle. With a total thta year of 8300 acres, the acre- ! age of Infestation shows a decrease of 70 per cent. Officials stated this unusually large decrease Is due to the extensive fell ing or Infested trees In a similar cam paign last year, which allowed the hot sunshine which prevailed to effect ively sun cure large areas. Foreman Espey reports that the , rate of tree curing haa been Increased ! from a low of three trees per man I per day to eight trees per man per day as the CCC men, all of whom are ! new recruits from Chicago, have be- j come better trained In the work. Es- ( pey stated he has Instilled sense of rivalry among the crews that pro- j motes results. Majority of the men have been In camp since April, Espey reports, and, despite their Ignorance of the woods at first, they have rapidly learned woodcraft and talk In the vernacular of old-time bug hunters. To them a compass Is no longer a box with a little swinging needle, trees are felled Instead of undermined, and sections, sections corners and quarter corners mark certain areas In the timber that are no longer referred to as so many i blocks this way or so many blocks that. Besides the active "bug brigade," a check cruise la being made In the old Infestation along the park boun dary, revealing that In places where there were at one time as many as two Infested trees per acre, there are now only 40 Infested trees on 2000 acres.
