Mr. Hurd says that there has
been a change of heart among
former supporters of the Wilson
river highwa" in Tillamook. He
declares that many people have
come to believe that but one road
should be built and that, if a
branch is constructed to serve the
northern Tillamook beaches, the
Wolf creek road would be prefer­
able to Northern Tillamook coun­
ty than the Wilson river route.
At the same time residents of
eastern Oregon, who desire road
work in their territory, are hop­
ing for the construction of one
route instead of two, and that
they favor the Wolf creek route
as the best chance to obtain funds
for their section which might be
put into the construction of a
second highway to the sea.
The petition is as follows:
To the State Highway Commis­
sion of Oregon:
The undersigned are residents
of, or interested in obtaining a
quick road to Seaside, Gearhart
or Cannon Beach. We understand
that the surveys for the so-called
“Short Route to the Sea” are
complete and the data being as­
sembled, and that a decision will
be arrived at soon.
Without presuming to antici­
pate or forestall the engineering
data, we respectfully urge upon
the Commission that the following
be adopted as a basic policy in
approaching the problem:
1. That out of the Federal
funds made available by recent
act of congress the long sought
for “Short Cut to the Sea” from
Portland be built. If more than
one such road can be built, we
have no objection to that but we
