The Crater Lake highway committee
of th M xlford Commercial club held an
enthusiastic meeting Saturday evening
and outlined plans for conducting a
most aggressive campaign for the pop
ular subscription to build the road to
Crater Lake. All members of the com
mittee were present and pledged them
selves to active support of the effort
to raise $100,000 by subscription of
$100 each.
As a preliminary move, the committee
will send Will G. Steel to Washington
at once secure from the bureau of for
estry the m >nt y appropriated for work
on the highway from the western bound
ary of the Cascade forest reserve to
the National park boundary, Ten thous
and dollars was appropriated for this
work by Mr. Pinchot. but when the
supreme court decided adversely on the
state appropriation, half of it was di
verted to other uses. The remaining
$5000, however, can be secured for ex
penditure before July 1 and an addi
tional $20, 000 for continuing work du
ring the summer.
The sending of Mr Steel will keep
the government in close touch with the
builders, convince them that Medford
mca is business and assure them that
the highway will really be constructed.
Mr. Steel will also secure the report
upon a highway made by Engineer
Heidel last summer, and the appoint
ment of an engineer to take charge of
construction.
Plans looking toward enlarging the
committee and the planning of city,
county and state campaigns were dis
cussed. Another meeting will held the
first of week to perfect plans.
All the members were enthusiastic
over the prospects and confident of
raising sufficent funds to construct the
highway. Mai) Tribune.
