INVESTMENT SECTION THE SUNDAY ADVERTISER, JUNE 19, 1960 Fes Jt Freeways To Be Extended Point; from Honolulu to Ka no traffic signals or stop lights on the six-lane, divided, highway. Over-and under passes take care of cross-traffic. Ramps control the way all vehicles enter or leave the freeway. BY 1965 if not sooner Lunalilo Freeway will extend from King and Middle Sts. at the west end of the city to 21st Ave.

at the east end. The State Division of Highways is building the freeway with the help of a $50 million bond issue voted by the 1955 Legislature. If Congress votes to let Hawaii share in the benefits of the National Interstate and Defense Highway System, the State plans to build 50 miles of freeways with the special Federal-aid grants during the next 15 years. This program would be in cddition to the current bond money program, and Hawaii's regular Federal-aid projects. THE "INTERSTATE" freeways would extend from Honolulu, via Pearl City, to Schofield Barracks; from Pearl City to Barber's congress approves present plans for Hawaii's "interstate" highways, the State will soon be building more highways, faster, than ever before in the Islands' history.

These new highways will be built to the highest standards so far developed freeway standards. Honolulu drivers get a sample of freeway driving when they use the completed portion of Lunalilo Freeway, Honolulu's first freeway. From Old Waialae Rd. to Keeaumoku St they meet neohe Marine Corps Air Station; and from Honolulu to 22nd Ave. and Waialae Ave.

The Federal Government would pay nine-tenths of the bill which would come to $4 or $5 million a mile. Hawaii must match its regular Federal highway allocations on a dollar-to-dollar basis. Construction of the new freeways would let drivers travel from Honolulu to any of the four destination points at an uninterrupted speed of at least 45 miles an hour.

Honolulu will Inaugurate one of the nation's most efficient and modern airport terminals in the nation IS months from now. The 50th State's $25 million Jet Age Airport is 15 per cent complete and construction is gathering momentum by the day. This is the estimate of Alfred C. Klahre, staff engineer of the Hawaii Aeronautics Commission.

SIXTEEN MONTHS of groundwork have laid the foundations. Now the bare skeletons of future buildings are rising above the coral fill on a piece of the old Damon Tract. Furthest along is the $1.3 million Inter-Island Terminal. A forest of concrete columns marks the site I IT' I 3V BARBERS PT. DIAMOND HEAD ter-Island building over to the State on Nov.

Still below ground level is progress on the $5 million complex of buildings to house airport administration and overseas airlines passengers. Piles were driven this month to support the eleven-story nerve-center which will be the Jet Age home of Federal Aviation Agency controllers, V.S. Weather Bureau experts and State aeronautics administrators.

DOORS AMONG the pa-hoehoe lava fronted columns are expected to open in time to brace Honolulu for the tremendous onslaught of tourists expected in 1962 expected by the HVB to exceed 415,000. Some 5,000 persons passengers and welcomers crowd through the terminal daily. A 30 per cent increase in that figures is anticipated this summer. The Hawaii Aeronautics Commission expects the records to show a flow of air travelers through the terminal during the year ending June 30. HAC projections are for 2,225,000 in 1965 and 3,120,000 by 1970.

These forecasts would mean nightmares for the State and its visitor industry if the Jet Age terminal were not on the road to completion. HERE IS a status report on the nine-stage project: I. Site preparation 100 per cent complete. The Hood Thompson Construction Co. last December wound up the $1 million job of clearing the land and readying the ground to support big buildings and aircraft.
