Most of these signers were procured on East Main and Sis kiyou boulevard, but it is under stood that North Main residents arc practically as unanimous for the changes as those on the bal ance of the main highway through Ashland. The petition will be consider ed by the city council at Its first. August meeting. Two routes have been propos ed for the rerouting of the trucks- One via Van Ness, which it Is recognized would leave the noise and other alleged disturb ing elements for residents of North Main to the north city limits and also switch the said objectionable features to resi dents on Van Ness- The second route, which would eliminate switching to any resi dential street, would be along the railroad tracks from near the north city limits to A street and then back to the highway near the south city limits on the Pacific highway.

Ashland, July 30 There is no particular danger that Ashland will be sidetracked with a super highway outside the city, al though it is almost certain that such a by-pass road will be con structed eventually outside Med ford, according to Paul Rynning county engineer, who spoke to the Rotary club here last week. He stated that one of the first post-war State Highway com mission projects is the comple tion of the Ashland Plaza im provement, which would indi cate that the present Pacific highway route through Ashland will be continued for many years, Rynning stated. Highway Main Goal Mr. Hynning, who spoke of the national and state postwar road program, stated that Jack son and Josephine counties had agreed that practically all of the money spent in the first three years of the postwar program should be concentrated on the Pacific highway north of Grants Pass, for this road means so much .to this area- The Greensprings highway is on the program for improvement, but this will not come until later in the 15-year program, he stated. In the secondary high-1 way program, the main project is the Crater Lake road to the Butte Falls junction, on which $460,000 will be spent the first Ihree years and considerable work will also be done on the Dead Indian road, present plans covering six and a half miles to Applegate. Also included in the first three year secondary road program is the improvement of the old Pa cific highway from Talent to the junction with the new route near Jackson Hot Springs. Several other county roads are also de signated. Program Reviewed He briefly reviewed the county postwar general program, which includes the new county hospi tal and also three million dollar road projects. Another very Interesting fea ture of his talk was the state ment that the State Highway commission has decided to furn ish all of the money to match the federal aid projects, not re quiring the counties to meet any of this obligation. He stated that Ashland, be cause of. the splendid highway connections both to the north and the south and because of the width of the streets here, much wider than in Medford, would undoubtedly continue to hav the Pacific highway as Its main street, although he stated eventu ally practically all highway would bypass cities. He addeiJ' that cities, such as Albany, wera well pleased with such bypass, ing, too. WASHING MACHINES REPAIRED Parts & Service on All Makes B. & B. WASHER SHOP 406 C.
