Memorial to the State Highway Commission
and Legislative State Trunk Highway Com
mittee.
Whereas, your commission and COMMITTEES
recently laid out road from Sextonville. in
Richland county, Up the Willow creek valley
by way of Cazenovia to LaNale. in Sank
county and Wonewoc. Union Center, Elroy
Mauston. New Lisbon and Necedah. in Juneau
county and
Whereas, said road was laid in utter disre-
gard Of the rights and wishes Of the majority
of the people of Rchland and Juneau count
les, together with the people Of the city OF
Richland Center and the village Of Hlllsboro
and.
Whereas the proposed route up Pine river
through Hillsboro. Union Center and directly
across between FL oy and New Lisbon affords
greater uatuta! ADVANTAGES both as to soil and
location, and accommodates a vastly greater
number ~ people as well as traffic than the
road laid by your committee. and
Whereas, the city Of Richland Center and
the village of Hillsboro, both of which are
railroad terminals, and at both of which
places there large milk condenseries and
manufacturing plants, Touring mills, ware
houses, creameries, cheese factories, a brewery
and numerous other industries, have been en-
tirely ignored by you and left off said highway
ana should be connected by trunk line road
and,
Whereas the route north from RichIand Cen
ter by the way of Hllsboro, Union Center
Elroy, New Lisbon and Necedah is almost a
due northeasterly line with few, if any, crooks
turns and,
Whereas, the road as laid by your commits
sion ana committee is a roundabout crooked
route, almost doubling on ITSELF will be
seen from the map accompanying this memo
rial and is not direct route between Need
ali and Riehland Center. and
Whereas, the federal aid act refers to post
roads and rural routes, advise that the en-
tire line, from Richland Center to New Lis
bon, via Hillsboro, Union Center and Elroy
is covered by rural routes and daily stage
line, carrying mails, passengers and express
from Richland Center to Hillsboro, with a
daily line of stages carrying mails, passen-
gers, and express from Richland Center tc
LaFatge. and that several rural routes radi-
ate from post Offices along said stage routes
all of which have been overlooked or ignored
and
Whereas, the land traversed by the road
laid by your committee is thinly populated and
possessed of few, if any, industries, therefore
be it
Resolved, by the county board for Vernon
county, that said county board hereby remon-
strate to said commission and committee joint
ly against the road now laid, and that said
county board hereby respectfully requests
and petitions the said trunk line committee
and highway commission to hold hearing
for the purpose of obtaining further inforrna-
ton in regard to the two routes in question
and that the commission and committee joint
ly lay the road up Pine river valley by way
Of Hiilshoro. Union Center, Elroy, New Lis
bon to Necedah where it rightfully belongs.
