Utilization of existing roads as one way roads would
save much money and would serve the purpose ot a new

and that of only two lane highway, we’d have a four
lane route between Ashlan ?!and Medford. 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

the construction of only about four miles of new, two
lane highway, and you’ll see that this plan, is riot only
feasible, but is much cheaper than the carving out of
a new four lane highway.
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
