ASHLAND, April 12— (Spl)— The
Southern Pacific railroad company
will contest to the highest court
which would take probably two yearj
of litigation, the rights of the state
highway commission to force It tc
pay hnlf of the cost of the new un-
dervrosslng at the railroad tracks at
the north end of thu city lin its on
the new highway, according to Paul
Ferrin, railroad attorney in a state­
ment during the hearing yesterday
before Herbert H. Hau**r, secretary
of the state public utilities commis­
sion.
Mr. Ferrin hud already entered an
alternate plan tor the undercrossing
of the railroad tracks which would
require an 18 degree curve at that
ipoint instead of the four degree
curve in the new highway routing
undercrossing, to which the railroad
company so strenously objects. The
alternate plan, which would connect
with the new route north of the
l racks would cost approximately
>4 7,000 less thaM the highway com­
mission plans, according to Mr. Fer­
rin as it would use the present un­
dercrossing.
When Mr. Ferrin stated the rail­
road company would delay the con­
struction of the undercrossing to the
limit, J. M. Devers, state highway
commission attorney replied that the
commission had plans which would
permit them to construct this un-
derrrossing despite the contest of thr
Southern Pacific.
