At the completion of the state work on the Cummins Hill macadam, Gilliam
County deemed it advisable to avail themselves of the opportunity to
utilize the installed equipment and organization for macadamizing the
John Day Highway between Mayville and Wheeler County Line, one mile
south. Accordingly they graded and laid macadam for this distance
thereby connecting Mayville up with the Wheeler County macadam. Gilliam
County paid the full cost of this work amounting to about $6,500.00 for
both grading and macadam.
The engineering and inspection was done by the State Department with
George Hibbet in charge.
