23 Miles of

A total of 23 miles of roads
were paved during the past
calendar year, according to
Paul Rynnir.g, county engi
neer. Rynning estimated that ap
proximately 15 miles had a
mat coating applied. The mat
coating consists of heavy as
phalt with rock on top. An
estimated 12 miles of dust oil
ing had been spread on county
roads. People living along the
roads paid for the oil, Ryn
ning explained, and the coun
ty applied it.
Heaviest construction for
the year included grading and
rock surfacing four miles of
the road between Butte Falls
and Prospect, grading and
rocking five miles on the Dead
Indian rd. and reballasting
214 miles of it with rock.
Other projects included con

eravel surfacing it. Thompson
Creek rd. was graded and
gravelled for about two miles.
Adams rd. near Talent was
graded and rock-surfaced for
about a mile, the county engi
neer said. Several places were

About four miles of the North
River rd. between Rock Point
and Rogue River were graded
and rocked. Evans Creek rd.
was widened in several places.
Some right-of-way clearing
was done on the Meadows rd.
Two miles of the Nick
Young rd. near Eagle Point
was reballasted. The road to
Fish lake from the hatcheiy
at Butte Falls also was
widened.
Rynning said county crews
crushed 250,000 cubic yards
of rock-gravel last year. Much
of it was used on roads during
the year and the remainder
put in stock piles for future
to spend the Christmas holi-
aays wiin tne boo noagers

Several bridges were con
structed. They included a con
crete bridge over Jackson
creek into Jacksonville, a con
crete structure over Kane's
creek on Foley lane, one over
Snider creek on Tresham lane,
another across Willow creek
on the Fish Lake rd. near
Butte Falls and one over Dry
creek on Bigham rd.
Many small bridges were
built over irrigation canals
during the year, Rynning said.
A wooden bridge was con
structed over Willow creek on
the Geppert rd. and another
across Trail creek near Trail.
In cooperation with the fed
eral government and the state
highway department V2 miles
each was constructed on the
Table Rock rd. and on the
Central Point Market rd. Now
under construction is the Old
Stage rd.. from Jacksonville
to Ross lane, also being done
on a cooperative basis.
Rynning estimated Jackson
county has 1,000 miles of
county road and 250 bridges.
Current policy is to replace
wood bridges with concrete or
steel structures when located
on a "permanent r o a d."
Bridges on "semi-permanent"
roads are replaced with struc
tures of pressure creosoted
timbers. Other roads receive
untreated wood structures, the
county engineer explained.
Other Construction
Other construction included
a new storage building of
steel constructed in the Apple
gate valley for maintenance
crews there.
The county engineer esti
mated that 12,905 tons of
trucking were weighed at the
county weighing stations dur
ing the year. Most tonnage re
corded was on the Dead In
dian rd. with 7,025 tons
weighed. Applegate rd. had
2,959 tons pass over that road
and Table Rock rd. 2,683 tons
weighed.
Purpose of the weighing is
to make sure trucks comply
with the weight limits set on
the roads. Over-capacity loads
tend to break the surfacing,
he explained.
Good Cooperation
"The county is authorized
to pull 'em in when they are
within five miles of the scale,"
Rynning said. "Most people
cooperate pretty well. Only a
few don't. We receive fine co
operation when requested
from the state police in enforc
ing these weight limits."
'' To do the work the county
road department has 160 men
working full time. The total
includes four maintenance
crews at Eagle Point, Ashland,
Gold Hill and Applegate, and
crews for bridge construction,
bridge maintenance and road
construction plus two rock
crusher crews and the em
ployees in the county shop.
The county shop does all
the maintenance and repair
work on county equipment
and employs 12 regular men.
The main shop on Barnett rd.
is now expanding by adding
34 feet on one end, Rynning
said.
