EUGENE REGISTER-GUARD January 3, 1934.. THE Eight SHORT ROUTES TO BE DISCUSSED AT MEETING THURSDAY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) swings north to join the present Siuslaw highway near Goldson. The iliminate the present 1175 foot Low Pass, the route fould cut through and include a 1200 foot tunnel, again the present highway west of Joining, Reaching Triangle lake, it is proposed to reroute the highway just west of lake after crossing Lake creek. Shortly after crossing Indian creek east of Swisshome, the route would swing to the south, include a 300-foot tunnel to eliminate another grade with short curves. Cost is Low This route, it was explained by C.

A. "Shy" Huntington, chairman of the highways committee of the chamber of commerce, would establish a water grade to Mapleton, making the distance between Eugene and Florence miles. Cost of construction would be the neighborhood of $200,000. This survey i sindicated by the entime gineers as Route A. would take the highway directly wast from Eugene to Noti creek, going by the Snellstrom mill and about a mile south of Vaughn.

It would join the present county road down Wildcat creek through Walton and just west of Walton would branch, Route swinging southward to Knowles creek and coming out at Mapleton and Foute tend northward to the Siuslaw river coming out at Swisshome. Going through Dinslaw and Richardson, Route proceeds straight down Knowles creek to Mapleton. It is this route that is advocated by Mapleton residents as opposed to Route which strikes the Siuslaw river east of Nekoma and oins the present highway at Swisshome. Engineers declare the Knowles creek route to of expensive construction, the route necessitating a 1700-foot tunnel followed by two viaducts, another tunnel. This nine-mile stretch and would cast approximately $1,000,000 to build, it is said.

Knowles Creek Shortest Route would branch off frem the other route west of Eugene to -go through Veneta and Noti, along Elk creek and over Bidger mountain to again join Route east of Walton. It again branches north after going through Walton to hit the Siuslaw river. The Knowles creek route would make the distance between Eugene Florence 59.8 miles, approximately 13 miles shorter than the re-routed Siuslaw highway. the engineers will these At the meeting Thursday, night, routes and will give their recommendations. The commission will then ask for opinions from those at the meeting, according to Carl Washburne, Eugene member of the highway commission.

Federal Aid Needed R. Stevenson, president of the chamber, said Wednesday it was hoped that the present available $60,000 appropriated by the commission for highway in Lane county, could be construction. definite survey of the Knowles creek route. Local controversy has centered mostly on the, branching of the new route west Walton, Mapleton residents seeking the Knowles creek route while, others favor the route along Sinslaw into Swisshome. It WAS pointed out that to get money for the new route, it would be necesnary for it to be in the state system to receive federal aid.

In the event the state took over the new route, in all probability the Sinclavo, highway would be placed the county, with the county burdened with the maintenance expense. It is thought unlikely that both the present Siuslaw highway and the Knowles creek route could be designated federal aid highways and both maintained by the state. It is thought that the cost of rerouting part of the present Siuslaw highway would cost around $200,000 while the Knowles creek route would cost around three millions.

AIRPORT PLANS STORY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) nesday afternoon for Marshfield, to be back in Eugene Friday. If, at that time, the city has made necessary arrangements for obtaining the needed strip of land, he will take the project to Portland for CWA authorization. In lengthening the field, the major construction problem would be erection of a bridge, 500 feet wide, across the Amazon slough which cuts through the land north of the field. Major Sandy said. This would not necessarily be an expensive proposition, as a wooden structure suffice.

Later, if found desirable, this could be changed. The runways would be continued and the present boundary lights could be taken up and extended to surround the new No additional lights won'd be 'needed. Major Sandy said, as the present lights are spaced closer together than absolutely neces- sary. Grass Runways Urged The engineer advised grass runways. seeded with Wet Bent grass, a native of the Coos bay district.

In the future, all ports will have grass runways, he said, as that has been found best for planes. Tail skids are rapidly being replaced with wheels and in A few years there will be no skids left to tear up runways, he declared. In fact, said, many ports now have ruling that skids may not be used. Beyond acquisition of the additional land, there would be no expense to the city in the work. Mr.

Bailey, who has been conferring with state officials, expressed the belief if more funds were needed to that, work, they would be available. Prospects Here Good "Aviation circles in the northwest are greatly interested in the development of Eugene airport," Major Sandy told the committee Wednesday. "This is shown by the installation of the radio equipment recently made by the United Airlines. The chief impediment to the development of this port is the length of the field and until that is remedied, there is small hope of any development here cations, there is strong possibility of "With a field of standard, qualifimaking this one of the important ports in the area."

Governmental functions increase in number and size and seldom or never are abolished. Why? Because it is not A politic thing for politicians to advocate. Moreover, our publie men seldom address themselves to the drastic measures necessary to the accomplishment of marked public reforms or great economics--it is to much simpler to advocate a new kind or additional tax," Holman declared.
