The Road Problem
| Tho county commissioners are
busy looking after the road problem
as it confronts them in the new dis
trict coming under water this spring,
in the Tieton Unit No I, and com.
prising the Cowiche valley and the
land west of the city. Already nu-
merous petitions have been placed
on file with County Auditor New
comb secretary of the board, and
these are receiving consideration
This is an immense area and it will
| take considerable time to work out
the plans for all these roads needed
AS far as possible, the new roads will
be established to conform to the Sec
| ton and half section lines, where
the contour of the land will permit.
