Rainier-Goble Macadam
In Columbia County the State Highway Department laid twenty-four and
one-tenth miles of sixteen foot waterbound macadam and four and
two-tenths miles of nine foot waterbound macadam between Goble and the
Clatsop County Line. Of this the Rainier-Goble Section was taken over
from the contractors, Clark & Dibble, after being partly completed. This
was done in order to facilitate the work and get the road open for
traffic before the rainy season.
While the work done by the State on this section cost more per cubic
yard than the contractor was originally receiving, the actual difference
in cost for the job was not sufficient to justify the Department in
allowing the contractor to proceed with the work which would have
entailed leaving the road closed to traffic for another winter.
