Lakeview Chamber Launches Drive For Forest Road Fund LAKEVIEW, June 8 A deter mined drive to bring about a de ficiency appropriation of $20,000,000 for forest highways belore congress adjourns later this month was launched at a meeting of the Lake county chamber ot commerce mem bership yesterday noon. Jack Mayne, manager ot the chamber and the Three Flags High way association, is preparing a briet on the whole subject, and It Is understood Senator Wayne Morse la ready to go belore the house sub committee on detlclency appropri ations to urge the forest highway Item. Klamath county chamber of com merce and court, as well as the Lake county court, are expected to go along on the attempt to get the detlclency appropriation through. At the chamber session here, It was stated that the agricultural de partment bill carries an Item of $5,300,000 tor forest highways, Ol this, It was said, Oregon would get only $700,000, and this would hardly be enough to catch up on forest highway projects which have been deterred pending the appropriation of funds authorized by the road act ot 1944. Mayne showed a letter from R. H, Baldock, state highway engineer, In dicating the need for more substan tial forest appropriations. Among these, Baldock listed the Willamette highway and the LaVevlew high way's Quartz mountain section. With reference to the Willamette highway, he said that unless more than $1,000,000 Is spent on strength ening the surface there, the road will .be Impassable next spring. If the deficiency appropriation Is approved, Oregon will get $3,500,000 for forest highways and money will be available starting July 1. Manager Charles Stark of the Klamath chamber of commerce said today that a wire was sent last week to Senator Morse supporting the proposed deficiency Item, In ac cordance with a standing policy ot the chamber In favor of forest high way appropriations. Further action may be taken by chamber directors Wednesday.
