SUPER HIGHWAY
PIGEON HOLED
BY COMMISSION
8 c o tt Say s S ta te
W ill
Not
Build New Road Until
Governm ent D redges
R iver Channel
Construction of the $10,000,000
super-highway which will (larallcl
the Columbia river from Troutdale
to The Dalles will not be started
until the war department dredges
a new channel from Vancouver to
Bonneville, Leslie M. Scott, chair
man of the state highway com
mission, told The Chronicle Thurs
day.
“We would be lx>obs to pump
sand in from the river to make the
fills for the highway when we can
obtain the material for a roadbed
from the United States army en
gineers," he said.
It has Urn repeatedly re{*irted
that the state highway commission
projiosed to start work on the first
unit of the super-highway next
spring.
“We are not going to start work
in 1935," said the chairman of the
commission, “and we will not start
the next year, either, unless the
war department liegins dredging a
channel in the river sooner than we
anticipate."
First unit of the super-highway
stretches from Troutdale to the
toll bridge at Cascade Locks; sec
ond unit stretches from Cascade
Locks to The Dalles. Mileage of
the two units are about the same,
and each unit will cost in the
neighborhood of $5,000,000.
The highway department has a
crew of men running surveys and
is preparing plans necessary to the
calling for bids. These surveys
cover the stretch of niad between
Warrendale and the toll bridge.
The highway commission is chief
ly concerned over this particular
section at the present time for the
reason that it is seeking to strike
up a deal with the Union Pacific
railroawd which will permit the
highway to parallel the railroad
through Ruckel slide on a water
grade. No agreement has been
reached yet.
ALMACK GIVEN
BUS CONTRACT
AT BONNEVILLE
School
D i.itrict
W ill
Com-
nicn< c Hauling Pupils to
and From Sohool
N ext Monday.
Wallace Almack, owner of the
bus which runs between Cascade
Dxks and the dam, has been
awarded the contract for tran*-
porting the children in the Bonne
ville district to and from school.
The award was made Monday
night after the scU*il board had
considered three bids which were
submitted. .Almack secured the
contract on a low hid of $144 a
month. Erick Enquist, owner of
Knquist s addition to Bonneville,
was second low on a bid of $150
a month. William Arrington, who
has Uen employed in the forestry
service, bid 5160 a month.
Bus service will 1» started Mon
day morning. The bus will run
from Eagle creek to Multnomah
Falls. It is anticipated that there
will he from 80 to 100 children to
haul to school.
Almack told the school hoard
that he proposes to use the com
mercial bus to haul the children.
He will put on a second car be
tween Cascade D * ks and the dam
to take care of passengers who will
want service when the regular bus
Ls out (licking up school children.
When the school board adver
tised for bids, it specified that the
contract should run for three,
years, but on recommendation of
County Superintendent Cannon
the board entered into an agree
ment with Almack for only one
year.
Sujierintendent Cannon told the
l*>ard that he thought the school
district should own and operate its
own school bus, but the members
did not enthuse over the prospect
of spending the money necessary
for the equipment.
V E T E R A N S TO O B S E R V E
A N N I V E R S A R Y OF DAM
Damsite Post, Veterans of For
eign Wars, will observe the first
anniversary of the building of the
Bonneville dam with a dance at
the Bridge of the Gods hotel. The
dance, so far as can be learned,
will lie the only’ outward obser
vance of the date which promises
to become history with the pass
ing years.
Work on the dam was com
menced tlctober 4, 1933. The an
niversary date falls on Wednes
day. In observing it next week the
veterans are inviting people in the
district on both sides of the river
to join in making the event some
thing of an occasion.
Old time music is being provided
for the dance and Hal Babbitt and
Rolph Enquist, of the Bonny Villa
Tavern, are donating a keg of Hop
Gold, with the request that every
one turn out and have a good time.
George Gudhart’s party at the
Eagle Creek Lodge is off, at least
temporarily, due to inability of the
house to obtain a dancing permit
from Multnomah couuty sheriff.
