Recommend Fund of $16,666
Route to Lewiston Confirmed
by Way of Cottonwood, Fer
dinand, lilo and Winchester

State aid to the Grangeville highway

virtually assured by w. J. Hall, com
missioner of public works, at meeting
in Grangeville, Monday night.
Commissioner Hall and State High

automobile tour of the North and South
highway, addressed an audience of rep
resentative business men from various
parts of the county.
State to Help Here
State assistance for the road from
Rocky Point, up the South Fork of the
Clearwater, to Meadow creek, would be
provided at the present time, except for
lack of funds said Commissioner Hall
The L. S. department of agriculture,
through the forest service, has made
available $4,000 for building this
road, contingent upon receipt of $780,
600 local aid on the project. An effort
was made to procure $4,000 of this
money from the state, but because of
lack of funds, Commissioner Hall rec
commended that Grangeville highway
district proceed with bond election to
raise the necessary $4,000 to help
finance the project.
The state of Idaho, according to Com
missioner Hail, will eventually assist
the Grangeville highway district in
building the South Fork road, in coop
Grafton with the forest service. Com
missioner Hall said, upon presentation
Of proper petitions by both the local
highway board md the board OF coun-
ty commissioners, the project from
to Elk City would be desig-
mated a state highway, to be known as
The Elk City highway, and his depart
ment then would recommend state aid
10 the extent of one-third of the amount
required locally by the forest service,
which would be $16,666.
How to Raise Money
Because no state funds are available
'Or this work at the present time, Com
missioner Hall suggested that the high
way district call bond election for $780,
100, and he said his department would
to the next state legislature
hat it reimburse the Grangeville, high
way district for one-third of the bond
ssue. He said he felt assured the leg
stature would make the appropriation.
Election in the Grangeville highway
district to vote on a bond issue of $780,
100 for the South Fork rad, will be call
ID shortly. Date for the election has
lot been fixed, but it probably viii be
Turing the present month.

elled Monday by Commissioner Hall.
