ways should be permanently con-
structed and finished with hard sur
face.
l. The Columbia River Highway
from the Multnomah county line to
Astoria, Seaside, and south in Clatsop
county to the Tillamook county line.
lnasmuch as the counties of Columbia
and Clatsop have already expended
large sums of money in constructing
the said Columbia Highway through
said counties and in doing so have
practically exhausted their ability to
raise money by an issuance of county
bonds, the State Highway Commission
is hereby authorized, from the funds
arising under this act, in addition to
paving said highway, to use from said
funds sufficient to provide for the
preparation of said highway through
said counties for the paving thereof.
2. The Pacific Highway from Multi
nomah county line through Washington
county and Yamhill county by way of
Hillsboro, Forest Grove, McMinnville
to Dallas, Monmouth and Independ-
ence, in Polk county; to Corvallis and
Monroe in Benton county, and through
Eugene to the north line of Douglas
county.
3. The Pacific Highway from the
Multnomah county line through Oswe-
go, Oregon City and Candy in Clacka-
mas county, thence through Marion
and Linn counties, to junction with

4. Such portions of the Columbia
River Highway between the Multno-
NAH county line easterly through the
city of Hood River and Hood River

way of the town of Arlington and up
the Columbia River to the confluence
of the Umatilla River with the Colum-
bia River, thence up the Umatilla
River through Hermiston, Stanfeld.
Echo and Pendleton, and thence by
such route as shall be determined by
the State Highway Commission to La
Grande, Baker and to the Idaho line,
as the county courts of the various
counties affected shall agre to prepare
the road ready for paving. Provided,
that inasmuch as the county of Hood
River has raised by bond issue and
expended upon said Columbia River
Highway practically its full constitu-
tional limit, said Commission may ex-
pend on said Columbia River Highway
in Hood River county, such portion of
the money arising under this act as it
may deem proper in preparing said
Columbia River Highway for paving.
The various county courts in said
counties in eastern Oregon through
which said Columbia River Highway
is projected shall agree with the State
Highway Commission upon what por-
tions of said highway are to be paved
with hardsurface paving and what
roads, and whenever any of said
counties shall have prepared a portion
of said highway ready for paving, then
the State Highway Commission shall
proceed promptly to pave the same
under the provisions of this act, and
the remainder thereof shall be i'm
proved as a post road under the provi-
sions of this act, and such portion SO
improved as post road shall not be
eligible for paving at the expense of
the. state under the provisions of this
act.
5. The Pacific Highway through
Jackson county, where the same has
not already been paved, along the
route heretofore adopted by the State
Highway Commission. lnasmuch as
the county of Jackson has already ex.
pended large sums of money in con-
structing said Pacific Highway, and
in paving large portion thereof, and
in so doing has practically exhausted its
ability to raise money by any issuance
of county bonds, the said Highway
Commission is hereby authorized, from
the funds arising from this act, in ad.
dition to completing the paving of said
highway in Jackson county, to use
from said funds sufficient to provide
for completing the preparation of said
highway through said county, for the
paving thereof.
