Oregon Road Work Promises to Solve Chief Highway Problems
Oregon state officials outline a broad program to upgrade highways across the state. The plan includes paving major routes from Pendleton to the Wil lamaette Valley, improving the Columbia River Highway, and funding new bonds for hard surface work. Officials note extensive gravel and macadam deposits, varied terrain, and a need for maintenance alongside expansion as population nears 50,000 in 1914.
