Ashland, July 30 Ten peti
tions, including a total of 361
names, were filed Thursday with
the city recorder, asking that
the city council arrange for re
routing of through trucks from
the main highway in Ashland.
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.
