Tucker, new Jackson county agent, began his duties Monday. He succeeds Robert G Fowler, who retired July 1.

Would Create Straight Route to Nevada Street Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Billings, long time Ashland residents this morning announced that they would give a 60 foot right-of-w ay through their property for the purpose of establishing a truck lane to by-pass Ashland. This grant would provide for a half mile roadw ay through the Billings ranch and it would give a straight-of-w ay from the ju n c tion east of Dutch G us’ direct to the west end of Nevada street. Last Friday Billings told Mayor Thornton Wiley of his offer, and Billings has also, through city councilman John Nosier, Invited the city council to view the property. Billings stated today th at he planned to ask William Briggs, who heads the m ayor’s recently appointed highway study com m ittee, to view the grant and to recommend such action as the highway com m ittee deemed ad visable. The grant includes a 60 foot right-of-w ay. If more than 60 foot is deemed necessary, Bill ings state th at paym ent for the additional footage would be e x pected. If the city would accept the grant and then give the state right-of-w ay for a truck route on through the rem ainder of the city the cost of construction should be appreciably lessened.
