Highway" Done;
Farmers Rejoice
NORTH HOWELL, May 9
The million-dollar high
way, which croaae this dis
trict from east to west, was
opened for through travel
over two weeks ago, when
the fill near Lake Labish
was entirely completed.
Agitation for . this high
way .Was begun more than
five years ago and work
completed from Brooks to
ward the lake and from Mt.
Angel westward. ? r:
Then for some time opera
Uom were delayed becaese
of unsatisfactory - surveys
and because the old lake bed
offered a poor foundation
for a f high fill of gravels
with these obstacles ' sur
saounted, the road now offers-
au interesting drive
through the pleasant conn
try west of Mt. Angel,
through the berry fields of
North Howell and the onion
lauds of Labish;. to the Pa
cific highway at Brooks.
The dream of the farmers
In these communities for a
highway over which a "mil
lion dollars" worth of crops
will be hauled has at last
'come true.

to 54 last year and $50 th
yeac-before. Perhaps the cost per
mile in the sparsely settled terri
tory is a better Indication of
economy, for Instance the cost
per JJille this year is 11.6 aa com
pared with 13 last year and 12
for the year 1928-29. . . j
Naturally the bus must go Into
some unprofitable territory, one
instance Is the Fern Ridge dis
trict, since it was impossible to
connect Fern Ridge with the main
line to Lyons, it was necessary
to put a small bus on this route.
This meant a low cost per mile,
since few pupils were hauled, but
It caused a high cost per pupiL
; The cost . for operation and
maintenance of the busses : this
year will be about $3000 as com
pared with $2925.58 last year.
The average number of pupils car
ried this year is 108 as compared
with 87 last year. Grade pupils
from Kingston not being included
in either figure. Seventy-five
high school tuition pupils were
hauled daily the first six months
of this year as compared with the
average of 68 for the nine months
last year. This year for, the, first
time - a full time mechanic' and
bus driver has been ; employed,
thereby assuring that the bnsses
are always safe and in condition
for economical service. 4
It Is due -to Prof-. Toble and the
study he has made of this phase
of '-transportation that the cost
per pupil. In spite of unfavorable
conditions, is right with the state
average and the cost per mile is
half the average state figure. As
soon as road links are completed
other improvements in the sys
tem will be noted. -
