Salem Sets $2,000,000 Road Relief Plan
Oregon highway officials announce a $2.5 million relief and road program to aid distressed counties. Funds target hand labor and unemployment relief with six months residency, potential state borrowing, and eventual bond sales. Governor Meier backs the plan, with $1.25 million from amended market road law and $1.0 million from state funds for relief and highway work. The counties with their own equipment will manage projects locally if desired. Successful Beartrap springs hunting party reports eight deer killed and camp life praised.
