Ecuador Planning To Add 60 Miles On Her Highways Quito, Ecuador (U.R) In the next three years, Ecuador will add more than 600 miles to its present highway system at a cost 6f $35,000,000. The basic plan provides for two new roads to connect the top of the Andes with the Pacific Coast; completion of the Pan American Highway that crosses the country from north to south; construction of a route parallel to the Pan American highway, half way between the mountains and the coast to open up vast territories for cultivation, and the improvement of three exist ing roads. Few countries in the world could offer greater difficulties to the execution of such a plan. Ecuador, straddling the equator between Peru and Columbia, is crossed by two ranges of the Andes studded with 22 peaks ranging from 14,000 to more than 20,000 feet in altitude. To open up this mountain re gion to motor transportation and connect it with the Pacific, one of the projected roads will have to cross the Andean ranges at altitudes of 12,000 feet and more. Walls of rock will have to be cut and deep chasms bridged. Many Years Required So great are the hazards of road construction in Ecuador that numerous small native and foreign companies have been forced to break their contracts with the government and leave the job to several big firms that can throw in more and bigger machinery and thousands of workers. A 105-mile long road just com pleted between Cuneca and Pasaje took almost 20 years to build. Walls of rock 75 feet high had to be dynamited. A total of 59 streams and small rivers roaring torrents in the rainy sea son had to be bridged. But this road gives southern Ecuador direct motor access to the sea for the first time in his tory. Another road expected to be completed this year will provide the shortest connection be'tween Quito, the capital, (at 9,350 feet altitude) and the Pacific port of Esmeraldes. Although ordered to be built by Simon Bolivar, South Ameri ca's liberator, over a century ago, work was not started until 1927, due to extraordinary tech nical difficulties. The Ecuadorian company in charge of the work now expects the last 20 miles of this 192-mile long route to reach the coast by the end of Decem ber. Seismograph Records Major Earthquake Pasadena, Calif. (U.R) A major earthquake probably off the coast of British Columbia was recorded today at 7:35.31 (PST) on seismographs at the California Institute of Technol ogy. ' Dr. Charles Richter of Cal tech said the shock registered a magnitude of 6V on his scale and would be "very damaging" if it occurred in a populated area. He said the quake was about 1200 miles from here. He said it probably was north of Van couver Island.
