STATE AND FEDERAL
MONEY FOR ROADWORK
Three POstrOads and Three
Forest Roads Have Already
Been Outlined


Two more projects have been mappe,
out for cooperative work with the gov
ernment this year in improving pos
roads on basis of the state putin,
up a dollar for each dollar to be spen
by the government. Both are part O.
the Pacific highway. One is the VOL
creek grade in Josephine county, ant
the other is in Douglas county. TIL,
/ proposed work in Douglas is in tw,
sections, one providing for the elimin
ation of Roberts mountain grade, anC
the other in what is known as Pas
creek canyon.
The distance for the proposed i'm
provement in Douglas county is 10 milei
and the estimated cose 100000.
So far the Douglas county proposition
has not been presented to the govern
ment engineers, but the Josephine coun
ty project has, and it has not yet beer
approved by the government officials
because they say enough data has not
been presented to indicate that it is
to be used in the future as a post road
The government officials are asking foI
more proof on this point.
