JAY DUNN DISCUSSES
THE $500, 900 ROAD BOND

Had | assumed the authority
to say to the people of Lincoln
County just what roads should
be improved, just how they shall
be improved, and how and when
paid for (as does Mr.. Jones), l
should have suggested in part at
least, other routes as follows:
From Salmon River to Taft,
from Taft up the Siletz River to
Siletz, from Siletz to Newport
and Toledo, and from Toledo to
Benton County line via Simpson
Creek road ION which the State
Highway Commission is now ex-
pending $4,000 Eddyville and
Little Elk roads as at present To-
Gated.
Briefly l Twill try to justify
these roads as against Mr.. Jones
coast road. First, Mr.. Jones
says Newport is a summer re-
sort. Admitted. Then we go to
Newport for pleasure and recre-
lation. Toledo is the county seat
and every person in the county
has business there and should
have the most direct, feasible
road therto. Second, up the ST.
letz River from its mouth to the
head o! tide (the ending of the
present road is vast acreage
of wild, bottom land assessed a
$40 per acre at present, and
when provided with a good roac
will he cleared and cultivated
and will add thousands OF dol
lars in tax values to our county
Where Mr.. Jones lays his road
it will not add one dollar to the
tax value; If it does, it is by
reason of the road itself, and not
that 1t will bring more land un.
der taxation at higher values
Then again, our first aim should
be to accommodate as many OF
our own people with good roads
as possible, and at the same
time, provide a road that the au.
toist can reach the wonderful
resort city; the road here sug-
gested would be used every week
In the year by more than one
half of our county population
and would transport thousands
Of tons of produce and freight
each year. This against MIR
Jones coast road from a forest
reserve in Lane County to a re-
serve in Tillamook and only a
summer road at that, for he does
not provide money enough for
anything else.
Now, along the Siletz River
there Is the timber TO plank if
you wish to use it, but you do
not, for We must admit that q

upon such construction.
Mr.. Editor, we do not believe
the real purpose of the Bonding
Proposition is to benefit the
rancher. It's tainted with more
or less speculation in lots and
town site ideas than the dear
people.
At a meeting held at Ona 14th
August, the road question was
talked over thoroughly and with
out a dissenting voice. It was
thought that if we were to vote
bonds that a road should be con-
structed from Waldport to To-
ledo. Mr.. Ohmart volunteered
the information that he was
strong for the Toledo way and
pledged his support. (For fur
ther proof see the report Of the
meeting in issue of the Leader
of Aug. 81 Now. that the Ona
Road Club seems to lead the i'm
preston by appearing in each
issue that there is no opposition
to the present plans. The So
called Club is composed of II
members. 3 of those members
have told the writer that they
wont support the Bonds as now
proposed.

Now, a parting look at Mr..
Jones' last careful estimate" ."
From Waldport to Lane County
line, a distance of Is miles, he
provides 5000. In the suburbs
of Waldport the road leaves the
land and follows the beach to
near Yachats. and from Yachata
TO the Lane County line, about
5 miles, there is a very good
bluff road, but very narrow. So
Mr.. Jones proposes to build Is
miles of plank road, eleven OF
same through the jungle, for
$4,000 or an average cost per
mile of $500. Now, this is pure
ly a bid for votes from these
good, hardworking farmers and
wives, a reflection on their hon.
esty and an insult to their intel
ligence, and it should be resent
ed on October I'd. by every voter
in Lincoln County.
