To complete the location of the Pacific Highway across Josephine County, a survey was made in 1917 between Grants Pass and Grave Creek. This survey follows, in a general way, the present road between those points, deviating from it only where improvements in alignment or grade can be secured. The most important feature of this location is that it is on a five per cent grade over the Sexton Mountain Summit. The total length of the survey is 17.2 miles. Mr. C. C. Kelley was in charge of the work as locating engineer. KLAMATH COUNTY In Klamath County the work of the Highway Commission to date has been limited to surveys. A careful reconnaissance has been made from Klamath Falls to Bend, Klamath Falls to Olene, and Klamath Falls to Ashland. Funds were limited for more extensive surveys during 1918, but the location from Ashland to Klamath Falls (see Jackson County report) was started and will be continued to Klamath Falls in 1919. A short section between the Klamath Falls City Limits, through Pelican City to a connection with the existing road to Bend was located by the Highway Department in August, 1918, and stakes set for 7,500 feet of grading. This section has since been graded and covered with a cinder surface by the County. State surveys in this section were in charge of J. H. Scott, locating engineer. LAKE COUNTY Grading and Macadamizing Between Lakeview and Paisley In 1917 the State Highway Commission appropriated funds to assist the County with the grading and macadamizing of a section of the Lakeview-Paisley Road through Crooked Creek Canyon. This work was handled by the County, and the total amount of State funds expended was $15,391.67. The work done consisted of 6.4 miles of grading and 4.0 miles of rock surfacing. LANE COUNTY Macadam--Latham to Divide In 1917 State aid was given to Lane County in the amount of $6,099.86. This money was used in macadamizing the Pacific Highway between Latham and Divide. The work was handled by County forces under the supervision of H. W. Libby, county roadmaster. Divide Overcrossing For the elimination of the dangerous grade crossing of the Pacific Highway with the Southern Pacific Railway at Divide, the Highway Department made surveys and prepared plans for an overhead crossing at that point. The Public Service Commission of Oregon ordered that this overhead crossing be built, forty per cent of the cost to be paid by the Railway Company, thirty per cent by the State and thirty per cent by the County. Bids were received for the construction of the structure and approach fills on September 10, 1918, but before work was begun, the United States Highways Council ordered that construction be delayed until after the war on account of the shortage in steel and cement. Work will, therefore, not be undertaken until the 1919 season.
