TUESDAY, AUGUST 24, 1996 <a {926 TRAFFIC CENSUS SHOWS ABAVERR, ROAD; fiismarck-Mandan Road Has! Heaviest Travel, With. Daily Average of 2,422 Traffic on North Dakota highways shows 2 normal increase over 1925, the census taken this year shows, At 58 census taking stations where & one-day count was mage, 27,620 ve- hicles of all kinds were¥ counted, an average of 477 for ecah point dur- ing the 24-hour period. The Bis- tarck-Mandan road, the only brid, crossing the Missouri river in North Dakota, led the list with 3,711 for the one Sunday on which the count was taken, and an average of 2,422 for the seven days in the week. A census of only 40 points was tak- en in 1925 and showed an average of 572 vehicles per point. The additional stations added this year, were all in rural districts ed to reduce the average. cases the census taking point was moved farther from the towns than was the case last year oid this also is believed to have re- éuced the count. je Comparisons A division of the traffic showed that domestic cars comprised 75 per cent of the vehicles listed, 17 per cent were cars from other states, 0. per cent were commercial trucks and busses, 6.6 per cent were trucks (privately owned) and only 1.8 per cent were horse-drawn vehicles. In 192 77 per cent of the motor ears were domestic, 15 per céht for- gign, commercial busses and trucks the ‘same this year, trucks 5.1 gent, and horse-drawn vehicles 2.4 pa cent. Horse-drawn vehicles ‘ere more common in the rural dis- tricts than in the cities. The Fargo-Casselton station show- ed the next, heaviest traffic in the state and was unique in that it was only slightly heavier on Sunday than on most week days and was exceeded by Saturday, the comparison being 1,436 to 1,5%4 and the daily average 319, Explanation Given Commenting on the heavy traffic ve arck-Mandan highway ssue of the State High- y Bulletin says: “Due to the fact that there are large cities whose population is large as the combined n of Bismarck and Man- e heavy traffie at this point demands some explanation. “After due allowance is made for communities whose roads ra- to perhaps a greater degree the station in question, and ich perhaps eause a more even istribution of the traffic in and it of these other places, other fac- tors in explanation must be sought. The state highway between Bis. marck and Mandan is paved for its full length, rosses the Missouri river’ bridge and lies between the two towns whose combined popula- tion is about 15,000 inhabitants. It offers «a pleasant and enticing drive for the evening of afternoon and a form of recreation and pleasure. What would be more natural to drive over it to visit frienes in eee boring city or for the pleasure “ot the drive? ince -Wleasere driv- ine accounts to a large degree for this heavy count. This is borne out by a comparison of Sunday with! mounted her days which proves that the bbath day use of the road is nearly twice that of the other days. Again, a comparison of the domestic cars with tke foreign car count demon- strates that the domestic car traffic at this point is nearly three times heavy as that at any other point. se familiar with traffic conditions on the route are of the opinion that between the hours of 3 in the after- noon and 10 at night the traffic is about twice as heavy as during any otber period of the day. This road emphasizes the general contention that paved highways tend to increase the traffic over the road, and, if so desired, its condition on be cy loyed as-an argument for mo! = Eee this state on the tan. that paved roads, by reason of the creased traffic and consequent g: line consumption, soon help to pay for themselves.” Heaviest on Sunday ‘The count at the eight stations where a seven-day check was made show that traffic 50 per cent greater on Sunday than on the are age work ani per cent great- cr on Saturday than any other work of the count on the Fargo-Casselten route is explained by the fact that pleasure traffic on Sunday from Fargo is generally east- w and there is comparati' westward reeréation travel point leads the state in the truck count, largely due to the heavy tra: fie to tea Fite 0 packing plant, th average for seven days being ne: trucks daily. value, the Bulletin counts were during the two census all others the count was. for only, While it might have been de- sirable to have made a longer count at many other points, eeonomy census pose.

Valentino’s first big picture, “The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse,” brought in $6,000,000, and his most popular picture, “The Sheik,” was viewed by 125,000,000 people through- out the world.
