Tom Parish, county road supervisor,
who was in the city Tuesday, told an
Echo reporter that from the present
outlook little if any work would be
done on the Scenic Highway this
year. He says that there are some
900 bridges in the county that need
attention and repair every year, and
with the maintenance of the roads
most of the money now available is
used up in this maner. An effort will
be made to get state aid on the Scenic
highway but this is not likely to be
Forthcoming this year. Work on the
Scenic Highway began over five years
ago and approximately 100000 has
been spent on construction work. 1t
will be another five years before it is
opened for travel unless the people of
this and King county get together and
demand the completion of this trans
