This document likely originated in the late 1910s, during a time when the infrastructure development was crucial in the wake of the First World War. The report discusses the advancements and challenges faced by the commission in highway construction, maintenance, and funding, as well as the cooperation of federal and state efforts in developing Oregon's road system. At the start of this report, the Commission conveys the need for effective communication and collaboration with various state and county officials, acknowledging their contributions to highway projects during the period covered. It outlines the formation of the Highway Commission following the approval of state legislation, emphasizing the challenges posed by labor and material shortages due to the war effort. The report provides information on several construction projects, financial statements, and the progress made during these two years, highlighting approximately fifty miles of paving, over one hundred miles of macadam surfacing, and extensive grading work on important highways, while also detailing future projects aimed at enhancing Oregon's road system.
