UP)— A mine of federal aid not now open to Idaho may be tapped with adoption of the “speeded up" highway program outlined by the state administration Cowles Andrus of the state highway bureau declared here Monday night In on address delivered to the Burley chamber of commerce A delegation from the Twin Tails chamber was present To augment his explanation of the program which will requue calling of a special session of the legislature he used a series of maps showing the location of the proposed Improved roads and charts to explain the financing program Mr Andrus pointed out that the state was now unable to meet $930000 of federal Old available to the state due to mounting maintenance costs of the expanding highway system But in addition to this he said a bill is now before congress Increasing the federal aid to a figure which allots to Idaho $620000 additional The measure has already passed the house and gone to the senate To make this money Immediately available the speeded up program calls for issuance of $1000000 tax anticipation notes this year payable in five years which may be matched against federal aid funds soon ready to provide an Initial Impetus to the highway program he explained To meet this and subsequent note Issues the gasoline tax would be Increased from 4 to 5 cents a gallon To keep the program under way until ’ the highway had system reached an “adequate stage" he said would require Issuing of $10000000 additional notes payable from the gasoline tax over a period extending to 1950 This money would be available during the period to 1936 and would result in the state's completing 2773 miles of paved or oiled highway 1932 miles of crushed rock highway and 485 miles of unimproved highway compared with 1450 miles paved or oiled under the present sys tem of financing 1890 miles crushed rock surfacing 473 miles graded but not surfaced and 1320 miles unimproved The particular benefit of the speeded up program he said would be that the saving In maintenance on oiled roads compared with the greater cost of graveled roads would more than offset the Interest on the money borrowed COMPANY GAS 28 1930 VMM Norton was heard In December 27

Official Sees Plane Service On Rig Scale LOS ANGELES — The yean Just closed has established definitely two Important facts as regards transportation of persons by airplanes over regularly established lines according to Harris M Hanshue president of Western Air Fxpress They are: 1 Whereas tn 1928 the majority of air travelers was composed of those seeking a "thrill” or who desired to boast of their courage aud adventuresome spirit by saying they had been up In an airplane during 1829 most of the traveling public consisted of those who recognized the value of the airplane they wanted to get to a certain point quickly and in complete comfort 2 It has been determined berond doubt that air travel bv the American public on a gigantic scale Is as Inevitable as was the growth of patronage on railroads and motor busses Airplane transixirtatlon has made h great strides In the past yet It has not been a paying proposition for operators We often have heard the argument that If air rates were on or near the level of railroad tarifls planes operating on regular dally schedule would be filled Right here In California this theory Is being given a thorough test On December 15 Western Air Express reduced Its rates to San Francisco from $33 to $21 50 and to Kansas City from $175 to $140 Up to and Including January 14 It was possible ll to make the journey from here to New York City for $213 the tl rate ever offered and lowest with a traveling time of 48 hours If the public responds In sufficient volume to these Inducements then It will bo able to take advantage of “railroad rates" w
