GRADED AND GRAVELED IN 1917 AND 1918] Macadamizing--Cascade Locks to Hood River On July 4, 1918, a contract was awarded to A. D. Kern of eighteen miles of gravel surfacing between Hood River and the Multnomah County Line on the basis of cost plus fifteen per cent on labor and supplies and twelve and one-half per cent on equipment; provided, that no percentage should be paid on any cost over $50,000. This work also includes the building of shoulders on the one mile of pavement built by S. Benson in 1916 adjacent to the Multnomah County Line. The gravel for this work was taken from pits at Cascade Locks, Herman, Sonny and Hood River, was loaded by steam shovels, screened at two of the pits and hauled by auto trucks. As a result there is now a gravel surface between Hood River and Cascade Locks. A total of 23,396 cubic yards was placed upon the road at an average cost of $2.88 per cubic yard which represents total cost of excavating, screening, hauling, spreading and rolling.
