East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1917-09-20

pleted A partial solution of the
prob EN- now appears in the act Of
congress which apprOpriates one mill
lion dollars a year for ten years for
national forest roads, of which sum
Oregon will receive about $127.S00
per year.
Cooperation.
In order that this fund may ac-
complish the greatest possible devel-
opment it is desirable that the state
and counties cooperate with at least
an equal amount. This simply means
putting all money available for road
building on these roads in one fund,
as a large fund can be handled
easier than the same in several
small ones. This will allow the con-
struction of real development roads
across the Cascade mountains, and
because Of this feature of develop
ment the department Of agriculture
is justified in requiring cooperation
on account of the increased resources
resulting from the construction of
the roads. and consequently of the
increased amount which will be avail
able from taxation
Effect of Road improvement on
Land Values.
Investigation by the office of pub
lie roads and rural engineering in
eight counties in various parts of the
United States shows that by the con-
structiOn of improved highways land
values in those counties increased on
an average about seventy per cent.
These counties were in more or less
settled portions of the country and

construction In a new country. such
as we have in this area along the
Cascade mountains, could not fail to
be even greater than this. In fact. I
believe am justified in predicting
that the land values along the i'm
proved highways in this section of
the state will be increased not less
than 100 per cent by the improve
ment. Every national forest county
now eNpends money on roads in the
natioal forests, and by cooperating
with the department of agriculture
in the expenditure of funds avail
able if the tax rate is maintained the
same as at present
