The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1895-02-15
AGREAT SCHEME.

An Albany lawyer has colossal
scheme in view. Though not known
about here at home il is certainly worth
considering, as it would give employ
ment to thousands OF men. As matter
of fact, though, there is nothing in it but
ink just now. The Eugene Guard gives
the particulars and comments as follows:
The following letter was received this
morning by County Judge Fisk, and ex-
plains itself:
ALBANY, Ore, Feb. 8, 1895.
County Court, Lane County, Ore.
GENTLEMEN: A movement is on foot
to build a bicycle road.from Oregon City
to Eugene, plank six feet wide, il right
of way can be secured. The object is to
build it along the side of county roads by
most direct route. Road to be tolled for
bleyclists but free to school children and
pedestrians. All crossings to be kept in
repair at the expense of the company.
Please let me know the pleasure OF the
county court, in general way, after the
next session. Respectfully Yours,
Q. III. DALRYMrIE.
&Nfr. Dalrymple is prominent attor-
ney of Albany, and the road proposed in
his letter is very feasible and practical
-
over this road could ride easily the en-
tire length of the road almost any day in
the year, and the walk being free to
pedestrians means something IS well.
The originators OF the company, their
complete plans, etc, are not known at
present, but more will he heard in re-
ard to the proposition later on.
E9e of the above letters was also sent
to Judge Hubbard. OF Marion county,
and the Statesman takes it seriously as
follows: Judge Hubbard WAS not pre-
pared TO give his opinion yesterday be-
ing busy with other matters. This looks
like heavy undertaking for wheeimen,
especially when one takes into consider
alton the vast amount of damage that
would he done TO such roadway by the
overflow of the creeks and other streams
during the winters. II would certainly
be more advantageous TO the wheelmen
and the general public to cooperate in
the work OF making substantial mac
adam road between the two points mem
toned.
