SHOULD HELP IN ROAD WORK

Word from Salem seems TO indi-
cate disaster for the ambitions OF
Josephine county in seeking state
assistance in building some OF the
dificult portions Of the Pacific high
way in the northern portion OF the
county. Senator Smith introduced a
bill enactment OF which would give
state assistance to the amount Of
$4,000 In building the new road
from Grave creek to Mackin gulch
on the highway. The estimated cost
Of this piece Of road building Is s25.-
eSs. but the county agreed to bear
the balance. This piece Of road Is
OF greatest use and benefit to trav-
elers over the highway. being more
q state than a county road. II Is
only the part OF justice that the state
bear its part OF the expense Of build
ing. But word comes that counties
that have not bonded for road build
ing will stand a mighty poor chance
when the state funds are being dish
ed out.
II is true that Josephine county
did not issue bonds for road build
ing. She had other ways Of reach
ing the same end. and warrants were
issued for the road work. The money
was spent and the roads built, and
now the state should come through
with the assistance asked.
