The State Highway Commission requested Government aid in the
construction of the Baker-Cornucopia Highway and this request has
resulted in the approval by the Federal Office of Public Roads of three
projects on this highway. These three projects, namely, Baker-Middle
Bridge, Canyon Section and Sag Section have a combined length of 27.97
miles, and the total estimated cost of these constructions is
$94,731.00. Baker County will co-operate with the State and Government
in defraying the cost of this construction. The following tabulation
indicates the amounts and segregations of funds for each project.

No plans have been made for financing the Love Bridge-Black Bridge
Section which was surveyed in 1917. This is an important section of the
road and will probably receive early attention from the State Highway
Commission.
