Kiewit Moves to Site of Siskiyou Highway Work Peter Kiewit Sons's com pany, contractors for the In terstate 5 project from Souih Ashland interchange to Wall creek, have moved equipment to the site and have started clearing the right-of-way. The approximately four miles of freeway will follow the present alignment of Highway 99 except at Neil creek where the loop will be cut off. While a major portion Tf the work will be cutting into the side hill, company of iicials noted that more than one million cubic feet of ma terial will be cither removed from the hillside or used as fill. :' One of the changes in the area, due to the highway widening,- is the elimination of the Blue Star Memorial rest area. Presold Plans " Oregon state highway de partment officials noted that present plans do not call for a rest area in the immediate vicinity. They noted, how ever, that roadside improve " ment projects are constructed after the highways have been complotcd or in this case, if a good site is found along the Siskiyous, will be located else where. Kiewit officials said their rock crusher is now being erected in the Dead Indian, rd. area in preparation for sur facing and paving the North to South Ashland interchange section; The subgrade con structibn on this section is ex pected to be completed about May 1, With the completion of the freeway to Wall creek, only 8.45 miles will remain from there to the California stale line. From Wall creek to the Siskiyou summit is 3.7 miles. The freeway section from Barnett rd. to North Ashland interchange is expected to be opened in July, state highway department officials said. The majority of the concrete has been poured for the roadway, they noted, and if the weather continues favorable the as phalt work will start soon. Re maining will be installing of fences, guard rails and signs. Interest in Basin Project Shows Up In Letter Exchange An exchange of letters re garding the Lost Creek dam project on the Rogue river, revealing the support being given the project by Congress man Robert B. Duncan of the Fourth district and Sen. Wayne Morse and Maurine Neubcrgcr, was received here last week. Commenting on the corres pondence, Duncan stated: "If the White House supports this move and the Bureau of the Budget can be persuaded to request the funds immediate ly, the item would be includ ed in a request for a supple mental appropriation. This would come before the de ficiency appropriation sub committee of the House Ap propriations committee." Duncan has already dis cussed the project with Con gressman Albert Thomas of Texas, chairman of the sub committee, he said. Viewing the whole situa tion, Duncan gave this analy sis: "I am convinced that in creasing the funds for this project would be a sound in vestment and that delay will cost money. But realistically, we must acknowledge the budget-tax climate in which we are operating and the great competition for funds and not permit ourselves to be too optimistic." In -a letter to Charles Daly, special assistant to the presi dent, Duncan stated: "This project has a favorable cost benefit ratio. Advancing its completion date by one year will represent an economic value of approximately $6 million which will be lost for ever if a delay occurs, The property values are rising in the Rogue river area at the rate of two to three per cent per year. "Early acquisition, there fore, would minimize the site acquisition cost and, undoubt edly, represent a saving on the project cost of more than we are asking to be appro priated for 1963 and 1964 over the President's recommenda tion. . "There is also the usual un certainty existing in the area and land owners should be SECTION B Medford PAGES 1 to 10 Tribune MEDFORD, OREGON. MONDAY, MARCH 25, 1963 offered as early an oppor tunity as possible to dispose of their lands and make their plans. Logging access road construction and Improvement of Highway 62 leading to Cra ter Lake National park is all being delayed pending the planning of this project." The letter further states: "It would be appreciated by the people of the Rogue River val ley if you would make appro priate representations to the Bureau of the Budget to se cure their recommendation for an additional $50,000 for this year and for an addltionel $250,000 for fiscal year 1964, making a total of $350,000 for 1964." (There is an appropriation requested in the President's budget for fiscal year 1964 of $100,000 to initiate planning on Lost Creek reservoir.) TREE PRUNERS for RENT at A to Z Rental 1213 N.
