Formal Protest
By Polk County
On Road Route

Formal protest against the action
of the state highway commission In
changing the routing OF the Westside
Pacific highway as originally routed
by the act Of the 1917 legislature. was
laid before Governor Olcott Thurs
day afternoon by a delegation OF Dali
las and Independence citizens head
ed by Oscar Hayter, Dallas attorney.
Objection to the change In the Or
iginal road program is based on the
fact that the new route eliminates
both Dallas and Independence from
the main trunk highway. This, It II
contended, Is contrary to the intsnt
OF the act of 1917 outlining the stats
highway map which was only adopt
ed by the aid Of the Polk county rep
resentatsves after these two Polk
county towns had been included on
the road map.
Governor olcott accepted the PEE
titions signed By some a000 Polk
county citizens and agreed TO call ID
to the attention Of the highway COM
mission but declined TO interfere with
the plans Of the commissions which.
ne declared, was created TO shoulder
this responsibility
II was lntimated that an action b
mandamus would be started against
the highway commission to compel
the observance OF the 1871 act unless
recognition Of the claims OF the Polk
county towns was obtained otherwise.
