Oswego to the Multnomah County Line
On April 19, 1918, a contract was awarded by Clackamas County to the
Glemorrie Quarry Company of Oswego for the regrading of a 0.2 mile
section of the West Side Pacific Highway between Oswego and the
Multnomah County Line. At the request of the Clackamas County Court the
engineering supervision of this work was handled by the Highway
Department, Mr. M. E. DeWitt, resident engineer, on work between Oregon
City and Canby, being in charge.
This piece of work eliminated some very bad curves on the old road and
greatly improved the grade. The work was completed on September 4, 1918,
at a total cost of $5,746.68. Of this amount $507.98 was expended by the
State for the engineering. The construction cost of $5,238.70 was paid
by the County.
