i THURSDAY, JANUARY 6, 1949 PAGE EIGHT THE BEND BULLETIN, BEND, OREGON Detroit Has "Hot Road' to Melt Winter's Snow Detroit, Jan. 6 ilP-The nation's motorists soon may enjoy safer winter driving due to a highway "de-Icing" experiment now being conducted here. Michigan now has a 500-foot section of "hot road" which has melted snow as fast as It has fall en this winter. Operation costs have been about $1 per hour. The Detroit public lighting commission and the state high way department installed the electrically heated sections last fall on a heavily traveled high way at the edge of the city. Harold K. Wall, PLC assistant general manager, said the de frosting process eventually might put a stop to snow-clogged high ways which frequently halt travel in many parts of the country. Wall said he believed this was the first time such a project has worKeu successfully. Wires In Pavement "I understand an electric com pany tried it once, but they in stalled their heating elements be neath the pavement Instead of In it as we have done. That didn't work out," he said. Wall said the heating element used was 98-foot, 14-gauge wire, installed In two tracks, 18 inches wide. As a further test, one track was imbedded in "blacktop" and the other in concrete. Wall said he had discovered no appreciable difference. The $1 per hour operation cost has not been considered high when compared with snow remov al costs. The price for installation will be practically negligible when the wires are imbedded dur ing highway construction. Possibilities foe the new tech nique are many. Not only will snow-covered and icy bridges be eliminated, but the project can be extended to storefront sidewalks Madras Chamber Reports Success Madras, Jan. G -Guy F. Wade, president of the Madi as chamber of commerce, has listed as an out standing activity of the group for IMS the spearheading of the chamber in the campaign which resulted in a final transfer of tin Madras aiibasc to the city of Madras and the county of Jeffer son for joint sponsorship of a municipal airport. The chamber also took a lead in gaining for the city, from a ail acres of surplus lands at the air- j base, Industrial sites. The land is located on trackage of the rail lino servinL' Central Oregon, and ! it is expected that construction of j shipping facilities and new ware- j nouses mere ine coming year win result in expenditures up to more than $500,000. Canada's Export Trade Boosted Edmonton, Alia., Jan. (i Ul'i A "substantial increase" in Cana da's export trade with the United States enabled the dominion to more than double its gold and dollar holdings in 1!)18, Canadian finance minister Douglas Abbott revealed last night. Abbott reported to the cham ber of commerce that exports to the United States during the first 10 months of last year had gained 12 per cent, while imports had not increased appreciably.
