FARMERS NOT PLEASED

THAT the farmers residing west OF

,,on the proposed new highway to

M o.-W. R. & N. railroad tracks
from the Smawley place, is indicated
: the sentiment expressed by sew
al If them at the chamber of com
maree meeting Tuesday, following a
ascussion of the situation by mem
hairs Of the roads committee. IF
pnlIman, with all her well estab-
,sbed business houses and citizen
.hin can not raise $4,000 or $751;
aol, for a real road leading into Pull
man from the west, she ought to be
ashamed of herself" said one of
those farmers, who argued that If it
uere the local motorists who wanted
the road because the present 10 per
cent grade down West Main street
vas dangerous to them, there would
he no argument as to routes for a
new road. but the best would be Sc
lected without parley and the money
raised in fifty. The present road
is dangerous TO farmers who must
come to Pullman with heavy loads
ii the fall, he contended, and these
farmers have been waiting for over
90 years for the long promised inn
pFoyement. Don't attempt to cam
outage the situation now by giving
Us halfway road along and across
the railroad tracks. If you can't
raise the money to build road that
will give US a good grade and at the
same time stand the travel and not
send the farmers toward Palouse to
come to Pullman, then wait until you
can and we'll do the best we can in
the meantime"
The farmers argued strongly for
the proposed approach through the
] NJ Palmerton property, which was
surveyed about two years ago, while
members of the roads committee OF
the chamber favored the route down
the draw from the ]. B. Holt prop
erty to the Smawley property, thence
along the DIV. tracks to the city,
as means of affording temporary
relief, although not by any means as
permanent approach to the city
from the west. This route, they CON
lend, would serve the purpose for a
ie" years, and in the meantime
means of constructing the other
highway could be devised.
discussing the comparative
costs OF the two proposed routes,
rfoi' 0. L. Waller pointed out that
