Opponents ’Maliciously Allege
That Only a Few Counties
Wiil Benefit
•n attempt to array different
counties against the 36.000.000 road
bond bill, opponents of the measure
are maliciously alleging that few
counties will be able to avail theta
selves of the bond measure for the
reason that the cost of preparing
roads for hard-surfacing under the
terms of the bond bill will exceed the
actual eost of hard surfacing and,
therefore, be greater than those coun
ties can afford.
Meeting thia misrepresentation, the
State Highway Commission at its re
cent meeting in Salem reiterated its
previously announced policy on this
subject. All that will be required of
the counties under this policy will be
the preparation of grade of the roads
to be hard-surfaced. This means
that a county will merely need to bring
• road to grade and drain it before
the state applies the hard-surfacing.
The rock base is considered a part of
the hard-surfacing and will be built by
the state, assures the Highway Com
mission.
