County Roads
Said Passable
All county roads are passable
right now. County Engineer
wauy Hector said today, but
another day of snow will cause
some districts to have to be
plowed.
Last week's thaw and rains
developed a good many mud
holes that brought complaints
from rural drivers and mall car
riers but road workers figured
that driving heavy gravel trucks
through to patch them would
only add to the situation so no
work was done.
The rock crusher was put
back into operation today and
patching work may be started
this week. Hector said.
So far this winter only the
road above Fort Klamath has
needed the snow plough. There
has been no report of school
buses failing to get through.
