Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1916-03-03
Phone 1908

A representative Of the Leader
was down over tie new plank
road leading from Si,etz to the
Lower Farm tho first OF the
week. This road is being built
with lumber sawed by a portable
mill from logs taken off the right
of way. BY adopting this meth
cd the distance of hauling the
material for road building is
greatly lessened aud the cost of
the finished roadway is greatly
cheapened. We believe plank
road is the proper road for Lin
coin county, and the sooner we
commence building them the
better. Planking properly laid
will last ten years with very lit
tie cost of upkeep during that
time. Planking can be put down
at half the cost Of gravel and
will give us good roads summer
and winter.
We have in this is. ue the an
nouncement of w. F. Wakefield
OF Eddyville as q candidate for
denomination on the Republi.
can ticket to the Office of County
Commissioner. During the past
four years Mr.. Wakefield has
Siven good service in this Office
he is a practical road man, and
much improvement has been
made on the roads OF the county
during his term. Mr.. Wakefield
also looks after the financial H.
terests of the county, aud we do
not believe the voters of the
county can do better than to re-
elect Mr.. Wakefield.
