MARKET ROAD MONEY 10
GO FARTHER THIS YEAR;
80 MILES TO BE BUILT

Road costs when II comes to the
construction Of market roads In Tina
tiIia county win be materially lower
this year than last year or any other
year since the days Of high prices.
This fact developed today when the
county court reviewed the program Of
market roads that has been laid out
for this season The gropram has al
ready started in the contract which
has been let for the construction OF
the Butter Creek road. This stretch
Is six miles in length.
The state has Indicated that the
sum Of s6g. .00e.14 is the share Of Uma-
tiIla county from the state. This
sum IL doubled by reason Of the same
amount Of county funds which Is
available for niarke: road building
This Is slightly more than the county
had for the work last year when the
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1922-02-23

states share OF the fund amounted to
$62.534.SS.
This year Umatilla county plans to
build exactly 30 miles OF market
roads This is two miles less than was
constructed during 1921, but the DIFF
ference Is accounted for In the fact
that the 1922 program calls for the
building OF a grade up Reed and Haw-
ley mountain five miles. IN length a.
an estimated cost OF $4,000 u mile,
This Ii one Of the most costly pieces
! of construction ever undertaken in the
county, but the county court mem-
bers are OF the opinion that the build
Ing OF this road TO open up the,nloun-
tain country Is one OF the best pieces
Of businesstthat could be undertaken
by the county 1T this time. II the
program did not include the mountain
road. the road mileage this year would
greatly exceed last years total.
