An appropriation has been made, by the State Highway Department, from
the Post Road Fund for co-operation in the paving of a two mile section
of The Dalles-California Highway between the east city limits of The
Dalles and Three Mile Creek.
A project statement has been prepared, requesting $14,830.00 from the U.
S. Office of Public Roads. The State will supply a like amount and Wasco
County $4,000.00. This makes a total of $33,660.00 which is the
estimated cost of the project.
The present gravel road will serve as a base for the pavement which is
to be 16 feet wide. The improvement will include re-ditching of the road
bed and the installation of culvert pipe in several places.
It is planned that work will start early in 1910.
