The reply of the County Court was that there was no money avail able for a survey of a road change and it was necessary to obtain the service of a compe- tent engineer and helpers with volunteer service, upon which the Neely brothers and Mr. Fletcher, who were anxious that something be done toward elimi nating this section of road, vol unteered to help with the sur vey without pay. The good cause was put be fore our county surveyor and he being very well acquainted with the death trap, and knowing that the lives of our school children are at stake due to that the HALLOWE'EN SPECIALS Doughnuts, Pumpkin Pies and Halloween Cakes Also look for union label on your bakery product. 1 emonia Bakery Keep Oregon Out of the Power Business Avoid More State Bonds The State Power Bill is useless without at least $18,000,000 of new State Bonds.
