IIN|ONTOWN-LEWISTON
ROAD TO Be FINISHED
state Highway Commissioner Allen
Saws Three-Mile Gap viii BE
Finished Next Year if No
Other Work Is Done

The threemile stretch of unim-
proyed road between Lewiston hill
road and the Uniontown macadam
will be improved next year, thus COM
pleting the highway, if it is the only
road work done in the state, accord
ing to State Highway Commissioner
James Allen, who, with Harold Doc
little, district engineer for the high
way department, was in Pullman
Tuesday. The highway officials were
Just returning from an inspection of
the unimproved gap, and state that
the reports that the government will
not assist in financing the promised
improvement are erroneous.
Five thousand dollars still remains
from the last appropriation, accord
ing to Commissioner Allen, while the
county has appropriated, by resolu-
ton, 500, 900 toward the work, and a
like amount is promised by the fed
eral government The three-mile
stretch will require considerable
amount of concrete work, thus add
ing materially to the cost of the i'm
provement. Three concrete bridges,
80. 20 and Is feet will be required,
as well as l2-foot concrete culvert
The cost of the Improvement is esti-
mated at $4,000, but, under pres
ent conditions, it would not be sur
prlsing if this figure proves too low.
An agitation looking toward the
early completion of the road was re-
Gently started through the Pullman
chamber OF commerce. Senator r. c.
McCroskey of Garfield being the
prime mover. a committee was APP
pointed to investigate and the report
OF this committee that no national
funds will be available for road work
caused the work of the committee to
be abandoned and hope for the COM
pletion OF the road prior to the end
of the war was likewise abandoned.
The state highway department ac.
cording to Commissioner Allen, will
follow the policy of attempting no
new road work during the period of
the war. The present levies, how
ever, will be permitted to stand, and
the funds thus accumulated will
make possible a big road improve
ment program when conditions again
become normal. The completion of
the lewiston Uniontown road, how
ever, is considered an essential, both
BY the state and national depart
ments,, and will be accomplished as
early as possible. All road work at
tempted by city, county or the state
must be approved by the state high
way department.
The completion of the Uniontown
road will provide a continuous i'm
proved highway to connect with the
magnificent Lewiston hill road, and
VIII make good the promise of good
roads advocates of the state of Wash
hgton to the people of Lewiston that
'his state would do its part toward
the excellent improvement by provid-
mg hard surface road to the top of
the nil. The announcement of the
state highway commissioner will
orlhg Keen satisfaction to the people
Vi eastern Washington and northern
Idaho.
