STATE HIGHWAYS
TAKE MUCH MONEY
COMMISSIONER HODGINS OUT
LINES PLANS FOR BUILDING
HIGHWAYS IN IDAHO

The state highway commission Of
Idaho is working in conjunction with
the federal governments post road
commission to start work on the
north and south Idaho highway about
July in order to get the federal gov
ernment's appropriation of 100000
to use this year. Contracts are to
be let for the work in the heaviest
parts of the district first and work
started there just as soon as possible.
There are four sections in central
Idaho where the work will be very
heavy and it is planned to start work
there first and to let the contracts
for the lighter work in the highway
in time for it to be finished with the
heavy work. There are some stretch
es of the road that will be very heavy
and expensive. For the four sections
mentioned the highway commission
expects to expend $560,000 in addi-
tion to what help it gets from the
federal government. R. Hodgins,
highway commissioner for northern
Idaho, who just returned from a
meeting of the commission at Boise,
gave out this statement.
The commission arranged for CO.
operative work with the federal gov
ernment in the work on this highway
between Whitebird and New Mead
ows This is one of the sections
where heavy work will be required.
When this contract and three others
are let and work started the commits
sion will probably take up the other
sections, but these are regarded as of
less Importance and the commission
thought it unwise to spend any money
on them until the sections where the
work is so much heavier and will take
so much longer, are we'll under way.
Then contracts may be let for the
work which will not take so long, and
it is planned that the entire road will
be completed about the same time.
The two mill levy for Idaho roads
will bring about $2,000,000 and the
government will give .$3,335,O00 for
roads in Idaho, of which S650,000 will
be available in 1919; 100000 in 1920.
and 100000 in 1921. Mr.. Hodgins
thinks the north and south highway
will be completed and open for travel
between Boundary county and Boise
in the fall of 1920.

A large enrolment of high school
teachers, principals and superintend-

The university faculty will have
charge of the work and specialists

The entire plant of the university
will be at the disposal of those at
tending the summer school, There
is probably no place in Idaho with a
better summer climate than Moscow
and with the fine shade and orna-
mental trees on the campus, the fine
buildings, the short distance, over
good roads to the mountains with
their summer camps and picnic
grounds, the university and surround
ing country furnish an ideal place to
spend a brief vacation and at the same
time improve the time by taking
these special courses. The complete
announcement of the program and

ers and others desiring to take special
courses, but not to interfere with the
elementary work of the state normal

and will so arrange it's courses that
they will not interfere with the work
of the normal in any way, but they
will be designed to fill a want that

siOns having been turned in.

some interesting information from
