Cantine Reports
An Understanding
A great deal of interest was mani
fested at Monday evening's Commer
cial Club meeting in the report of
the committee on the Billings hill
matter. That the matter is one of
great importance to Ashland is now
fully realized by the people of the
city, and the reading of a telegram
to the state engineer and the answer
was received with marked approba
tion. According to sentiments ex
pressed by members Monday night,
the matter now rests mainly with the
county court.
It is believed that the compromise
spoken of in the letter p-om Mr.
Cantine is for a sixty-foot span,
which in the estimation of members
of the Commercial Club committee
would be sufficient.
Signed by Mayor Johnson and
President Newcombe, the following
telegram went to Engineer Cantine
Saturday: . , i
"Public sentiment strongly in fal
vor of compromise on sixty-foot span
under railroad and immediate, con
struction of grade. Present condi
tion dangerous. Both coupfy and
state money available. We urge im
mediate completion of this necessary
unit of the Pacific highway." -In
response to this telegram, En-j
gineer Cantine wrote the following
letter to Mayor Johnson:
"Your telegram this date, in re
gard to crossing negotiations with
the Southern Pacific Company at
Ashland hill, beg to advise we have
reached a common Understanding
with the engineer of the railroad
company this date, which I believe
will be very satisfactory to the coun
ty court and the citizens of your city.
The railroad people, Mr. H. L. Lull,
assistant engineer, have Informed us
that Superintendent Burckhalter will
endeavor to obtain the approval of
the executive officers at San Fran
cisco at the earliest possible date. I
have given a detailed progress report
In a communication to the county
court of Jackson county this date,
which please refer to for further in
formation and advice."
Fred Wagner, D. D. Norrls, M. J.
Duryea and Frank Jordan left this
noon for Jacksonville, where they
will appear in behalf of the early In
auguration of the work before the
county court.
