The section extending from a point three miles east of Clatskanie to a
point two and one-half miles east of Delena, known as the
Clatskanie-Delena Section, was completed by L. O. Herrold on a basis of
cost plus ten per cent. This work consisted of eleven miles of sixteen
foot waterbound macadam, one and one-tenth miles of nine foot waterbound
macadam and all necessary grading, drainage, etc. The foundation on part
of this section was very poor and 10,233 cubic yards of rubble base was
used in order to make satisfactory foundation for macadam. While this
increased the cost of the macadam, it was the only way in which a
permanent foundation could be secured on this section. P. M. Hall-Lewis
was resident engineer on this work.
