An effort has been made to secure Federal Aid in the construction of a
section of the Portland-Tillamook Highway from Grande Ronde west. With
this in view, the necessary surveys have been made, and it is expected
that Federal Aid will be secured so that the construction may be
undertaken during the 1919 season.
