Adopt Resolutions Indorsing Change

Proposals by a committee of resi-
dents of the southern part of the
county that Thurston county shorten
the present route of the Pacific high
way by constructing a new section OF
road and hard-surfaCing it from the
Lewis county line through Grand
Mound to Olympia are Endorsed by
the members of the Mound Prairie
Farmers club in resolutions adopted
at their last meeting.
The resolutions, addressed to the
county commissioners, are as fol-
lows:
Rochester, Wash, Jan. %, 1916.
To the Honorable Board of Thurston
County Commissioners,
Olympia, Wash.
Gentlemen: 1t having been brought
to the attention of the Mound Prairie
Farmers club that certain public
spirited citizens of Thurston and
Lewis counties, having the general
welfare of Southwest Washington in
mind, are advocating, from the stand
point of economy and convenience to
taxpayers and travellers, the shorten
ing of the Pacific highway, and it's
hard-Surfacing between point on 1T
at the Thurston-Lewis county line,
through Grand Mound and beyond to
Olympia by a cutoff along proposed
new section of road paralleling the
tracks of the Puget Sound & Willapa
Harbor Railway, it has, after a thor
ough discussion, appeared:
| That the members of this club are
a unit in favor of these objects, be-
cause:
Cd The realization that in the end
all roads should be hard-surfaced;
CD The growing Importance of
this main-traveled road demands it's
immediate Improvement;
CO. The reduction in initial cost
in following the straightest practi-
cable line of roadway between the
points mentioned;
Cd The low cost of maintenance
in favor of hard-surfaced roads;
60 The proposed new routing
eliminates two dangerous railway
crossings without imposing any other
hazard to travel in this county;
CO. The immense saving in wear
and tear on vehicles using hard-sur-
face roads; and
CD The convenience to through
travellers, who do not care to spend
more time than necessary on a
stretch of road that offers no very
desirable scenic or stopping points
Therefore, be it
Resolved, That we, the members Of
the Mound Prairie Farmers club,
unanimously indorse the plans of the
committee having this matter in
charge, and earnestly pray that the
board of Thurston county commits
sioners do give all due consideration
to these proposed betterments.
