members of the Lincoln Highway
Association, the following PROPOSE

suggestions. which have been done
in the past. The Lincoln Highway
Association Is the one factor that is

After completing careful recon-
naissance of the possible routes be-
tween Austin and West Gate for the
purpose Of determining the most
feasible. shortest and direct con-
nection towards which the associa-
ton would be disposed to assist In
the cost of construction, both my
self and Mr.. Hoag feel that the pos
sibilities are limited to the route
originally constituted as the Lincoln
Highway from Austin by way of
New Pass and Alpine to West Gate
and to the route leading from Aus
tin by way of Peterson ranch to
Campbell ranch. thence via Carroll
Summit into East Gate.
'Our investigations lead us to the
conclusion that either the route via
Carroll Summit or via New Pass, If
constructed in proper fashion,
would be satisfactory as the Lin
coin Highway.
II am authorized to offer, subject
TO the approval of our board Of di-
re tors at their annual meeting next
December, the sum of $37, 900 to as
sist in the construction of either of
the two routes last named, 1t being

able to finance the construction of
the section to the extent of at least
S35O.00O, including the above,
through obtaining SO per cent fed
eral aid and through the assistance
of Churchill and Lander counties
to the extent of at least 100000.
Following your fur ther inspec-
tion of the two routes which are
satisfactory to the association and
the final determination of your de-
partment as to which will be con-
structed, and following action of
our board, which l feel confident in
view of my report will be favorable,
the association will enter into a pro-
ject agreement with your depart

tered into in September, 1919, and
will upon your determination CT es-
timated cost draw up the proper

Should the Carroll Summit route
be determined upon and construct
ed, our present project agreement
No. 3, comprising the section be-

remain in force. Should the New
Pass route be constructed its west

rather than East Gate and the
funds originally offered the state

and West Gate, amounting to ST.
