It seems to us that it’s worth a lot of thinking on the part of state and county engineers and the Highway commission. This plan if followed through properly, would also give Ashland semi-truck route, moving at least half the trucks off Main street and the boulevard. This could be done by routing northbound truck traffic through Ashland down one of the streets along q a t io it a x c m u b c h I ’h r i s ti a u s H our. K W IN . S u n d ay . the railroad track.

The present southbound truck route in Medford could be shifted over to Holly street, and frqpi the point at the south of Medford where Holly ends at the city limits it would be possible to drive a highway through to Phoenix, meeting the old highway at a point across the tracks near the Associated Fruit pack ing house. From here on the highway runs to Talent, and it could go through Talent on Wagner avenue, While you can still get 18 and 24 month credit thence out the old highway to the junction with 99 at Bear creek.
