The Office of Public Roads has approved the application for Post Road
aid on the John Day Highway between Hall Hill and Prairie City. The
length of this project is two and fourteen hundredths miles. The total
estimated cost is approximately $39,000.00. The road is to be graded and
surfaced with gravel macadam. This improvement involves also the
construction of a fifty foot span bridge near Prairie City. The
apportionment of the costs provide for the payment of $19,500.00 by each
the State and Government.
Bids were received for this work on November 27 and a contract for the
construction was later awarded Kern & Co. of Portland, Oregon. Work will
begin in a short time and the bid price for this improvement was
$38,987.90.
