That was the word of J. A. Web ber, state highway department en gineer engaged in Basin road plan ning. Mr. Webber addressed a meeting of the Nortth-South Basin Highway committee in Othello Saturday night. ' “It is a difficult job trying to please everybody,” he said. “We are planning a network of primary and secondary roads to serve the Columbia Basin. We cannot yet announce routes of these roads, but they will be designed to serve the area in the most eificient man ner possible." { He estimated that the road pro-‘ gram would represent an invest ment of approximately $15,000,000. The department attempts to build roads in such a way that they will carry sufl‘icient traffic to make them self-supporting from gas tax revenue. Next meeting of the group is scheduled for Kennewick on Sep tember 14. At that meeting it is planned to present to the group the advantages of terminating the road here to connect with trans portation facilities by rail, high way, air and water. Kennewick’s packing plants will be brought closer .to the Basin by means of this road. Delegates to the State Good Roads convention in Bel lingham on Sept 19 to 21 will be selected at the Kennewick meet ing. H. A. Parker, Bureau of Recla mation engineer, addressed =the group, pointing out the construc tion plans of the burueau in rela tion to roads. He said that pri mary roads will be planned to serve the area by the most direct route. The highway department is working with the bureau, he said, to integrate plans. It is pro posed that secondary or “county” roads be laid out along ditch lines so as to serve farm units. He said the bureau is more concerned with these roads than with the trunk highways.
