expense.
Others appeared who desired
that the route be constructed
out of Ashland through the
town of Pilsen to a point north
of Benoit, then through the
town of keystone and south OF
the Northern Pacific track. This
proposition has a few adierants
in the territory through which
the road would pass and is also
favored by some Ashland resi-
dents, but is wholly objection
able to Bayfield, ccGnty citizens.
1t is likely that the Legislative
Committee and the State Com
mission will take into considera-
tion the wishes of Bayfield, coun-
ty people and construct q
highway, starting through the
town Of Barksdale and running
west and then following either
north or south Of the Mp. track
where the best grade can be
established.
Jake Yderstad of Kelly a-p
peared before the Commission
and asked that a cutoff route
starting at Bibon and running
east and connecting with route
I13' on the Ashland and Bay field
county lines be considered.
There is much travel on the
road along this line and Mr..
Yderstad felt that it would
prove shorter distance and a
valuable cutoff. There is merit
I in his proposition.
The hearing lasted the entire
afternoon and many persons
gave their views on state and
federal highways and the COM
mission gained much informa-
tion from the hearing.
