Road to State Line First Pacts Favor Bond Plan
A Pendleton luncheon hosted by the new highway association trustees led by D. H. Nelson promoted the six million road bonding plan. Senator A Barrett hailed it as a life opportunity for Oregon with no extra tax, while W. L. Thompson pledged fair paving company treatment if bonds pass. If approved, the Pendleton to Washington line project would begin, potentially securing up to a million dollars in local road work for Umatilla County, funded by the highway bond program. A finance committee was established with Nelson naming members.
