the direction of a committee headed
by C. J. Buok, regional forester and
member of the planning board, will
have a three-fold purpose:
1. To develop the underlying con

state-wide policy to piotect timber
bordering roadsl&es can oe maae.
2. To make an invr-r tory, classi
fication and valuation of the timber
bordering highways.
3. To analyze functions and re
sponsibilities of various public agen

to zones where each agency should
function, and to recommend neeoea
legislation.
Cooperation of the forestry, rec
reation and transportation divisions
of the planning board will be en
listed in the study project, and as
sistance will be obtained from the
u. S. forest service, oureau of pub

timber border strips, tehabllltation
of cut over lands, policies for fire

protests voiced against selection of
a route which -would skirt the city
to the west the so-called Star Mill
route It was obvious that most of
the speakers would abide by the
decision If the commission should
finally select It rather than chance
diversion of through traffic over the
cutoff.
There was an easily recognized
undertone of sentiment favorable
to such local concessions as might
be necessary to Induce the commis

McMlnnv lie was chosen oy tne
commission as one of the cities in
the northwestern part of the state to
share In the distribution of federal
funds for the improvement of nlgn
way routes through towns, because
of the abnormally heavy traffic
which passes through the city be
cause of its location. Besides car
rvinir the regular West Side high
way load the route through the city
along a narrow, busy downtown
street also carries the bulk of the
traffic between Portland and the
Tillamook and Lincoln county
beaches via the Salmon river and
McMlnnvllle-Tlllamook roads. At
times during tire height of the sum
mer season the count of vehicles
passing through McMlnnvllle has
been second highest to all points
in the state.
Three routes were under con
sideration at yesterday's hearing:

an estimated cost ot improvement
including right-of-way oi sim,iu:.
2 "E" street, adjacent to prln
