Gets Approval
A Christmas goodie came
early to the mountain area from
the State Highway Commission.
The commission, inunsched-
uled action Tuesday, added a
$3.5 million widening project of
the Alder Creek-Wildwood sec
tion of the Mt. Hood Highway
(US 26). It is added to the Fed
eral Aid construction program.
It will provide for four lanes
on the 5.6 mile stretch of high
way.
The decision is seen as a
move to relieve traffic con
gestion along the route leading
into the Mt. Hood recreational
areas.
State highway engineer F or
rest Cooper said that right-of-
way acquisition is underway
and indicated initial contracts
might be let by late summer of
1969. No date has been estab
lished for the start of construc
tion, but will be programmed
when funds are available.
A survey on the W ildcat-For

highway in Clackamas county
was also approved.

provide for four-lanes and e s

side Extension Section (Powell
Blvd.)
Basically the project will
consist of widening the exist
ing facility to a 72-foot curbed
street section which will ac
comodate four lanes of traffic.
Estimated cost is $1,800,000,
including right -of-way, which
will be shared on a 75-25 p e r
cent basis between the state
and Gresham, respectively.
Construction must await the
availability and approval of
funds.
MHCC Board Gives
Bond Election Nod
The Mt. Hood College Board
of Education Thursday night
unanimously authorized the col
lege to hold an election for $5,-

The local construction funds
would be used to complete the

over the life of the bond,”
he said.
This means that the average
bond cost to the $15,000 home
owner would total less than
$3 a year.
V Klapsteln said thar “ when the
college first began classes in
Fall 1966, state projections in
dicated that enrollment would
reach about 3,000 students in
1971, This year the college
shot above 4,000 students. By
1973 more than 8,000 students
will be enrolled at Mt. Hood
College,” he reported.
“ We just don’t have enough
classroom and laboratory space
to meet the student needs,”
George Casterline,
college
board chairman, said T hurs
day.
The local construction bond
would make it possible to ob
tain approximately $6,000,000 in
state and federal funds to com
plete the college’s core units.
The money would p ro
vide local funding toconstructa
library, science, and additional
vocational-technical facilities.
“ We are already recognized
as an important center for vo
cational - technical training,”
Klapsteln said.
