Hoquiam Press Accuses Gazette Of Opposition To Montesano Road
The Hoquiam Gazette denounces claims that Hoquiam presses oppose the Aberdeen Montesano wagon road. It reproduces a March petition signed by nearly 200 Hoquiam residents and officials urging construction this year, listing names from the Commercial Club and local citizens. The piece accuses the Hoquiam editors of breaking harmony with the city and demands readers judge the Gazette’s stance.

The New Road Law Adopted or Rejected by Chehalis County
A summary of the proposed road law asks Chehalis County voters on August 27 to decide on a sweeping measure. It imposes a $2 poll tax on most men 21 to 50, with collection by county assessors and wage deductions by employers, and authorizes prosecutions for nonpayment. The act segments the county into up to four road districts, authorizes up to three mills for general road and bridge funding plus six more for district road work, and creates district supervisors paid up to $4 daily to oversee improvements and report monthly. Contracts over $60 must be let, with pay limited to 50 percent until completion. If approved, the law takes effect immediately.
