Over The County

Juliaetta Record: The heavy wind
and rain storm a week ago caused
considerable damage to the road
between Hatwal creek and the terry
at Spalding where tons of rock and
earth were washed down the hillside
into the roadbed. Reports are to
the effect that large crew of men
were put to work cleaning up the
debris and the road was open to
travel again few days after the
storm.
Genesee News: Surfacing of the
state highway to the south of town
is going on rapidly. Three large
trucks are being used in the work
and they are travelling some while
making their trips. 1t is expected
the road will be completed by tall,
which will give an alI-winter outlet
for cars-when the missing link"
Just over the line in Washington,
is graded and surfaced.
The Whitman county authorities
have promised half dozen times to
grade and surface this half-mlle of
road but as yet nothing has been
done. Any road is only as good as
the poorest place in it, and the
North and South highway will be
absolutely useless until this section
is surfaced.
1t does seem as though some pres
sure could be brought to bear Ey
the state of Idaho upon the Whit
man county authorities to properly
grade and surface the missing
link"
The Whitman county authorities
, said they would grade the road and
would appropriate $2.5OO for the
surfacing of same. Genesee and
2 Lewiston agreed to surface the half
} mile tor that amount, but even then
the Whitman county commissioners
e refused to do anything, saying they
q mad bought crusher and would do
n their own crushing and surfacing
f they may, but when?
