A. & P. HIGHWAY
ROUTE WILL NOT
Be CHANGED NOW
Letter From President Hausserman
Says Report That Trans Continental
Highway May BE Changed Through
Louisville Is False.

The following letter was received
by B. F. Wilson of Manchester from
John w. Hausserman yesterday morn
ing and sets forth the facts regarding
recent reports of change in route:
Dear Sirs: Referring to the At
lantic-Pacific Highway story publish
ed in the News Democrat and reprint
ed in the Sun of two weeks ago permit
me to say:
The Atlantic-Pacific Highway is
routed in Ohio over the Ohio River
read from Cincinnati to Ironton. There
is no danger of. the route being
changed to any other road in Ohio.
Originally this continental highway
was routed to cross the Ohio River at
Louisville, KY, thence through the
Bluegrass region to Huntington, w
Va, and from that point on east.
Through the influence of the Cincin-
natl Chamber Of Commerce that route
was changes to pass through Cincin-
natl and from that city on to Ironton
yer the Ohio River road. When this
change was made it was understood
that this road from Cincinnati to Iron
on would be designated as a primary
Federal Aid Road. letter from the
Ohio State Highway Commissioner to
The Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce
8 on file showing that this road will
he made {. Federal Aid Road.
Recently those interested in routing
the highway through Louisville dis
covered that the State Highway De-
partment had not yet included this
Highway in the Federal Aid System
and a campaign was at once launched
to change the route by eliminating
Ohio entirely and going back to the
original route through Louisville. To
cover their tracks propaganda was set
in motion against the Ohio River road
route and it was given out that q
change from the Ohio River road to
the Ohio pike or to the Hillsboro pike
route was under consideration. How
ever I can assure the people of the
southern Ohio that no change is con-
templated by the officers of the At
lantic-Pacific Highway Association. A
portion of the Ohio River road FRI
Ironton to Portsmouth is under con-
7truction and a. survey from New
Richmond east has been authorized.
The State Highway Commissioner
stated in the presence of the Clermont
County Commissioners that three
miles of that road from New Rich
mond east would be constructed in
1928 if Federal Aid can be obtained.
Between Cincinnati and Ironton
there are six Government locks and
dams and It is very important from
the Federal Government standpoint tc
connect these locks and dams by 6
first-class highway hence, we are as,
sured that the Federal Government
will gladly cooperate with the state
of Ohio in including this as part o.
the Federal Aid System.
Yours respectfully,
JOHN w, HAUSERMAN.

STREET BONDS
ELECTION ON
At MERCEDES
Especial TO The Herald)

MERCEDES, Tex, Jan. 28.-Mer-
cedes voters today are engaged in
passing on the question of voting
an issue Of 100000 in bonds for
the purpose of paving principal
streets, and particularly to build a
paved street through the city to
connect with the proposed county
road.
Indications are that the issue will
be adopted. At noon 113 votes had
been cast for the issue and only z
against, it was reported.
Belief on the part of some people
that they could not vote in today's
election unless they had their 1921
poll tax receipts caused rush in
poll tax payments, with the result
that there are now about 800 quail
fled voters.
Uncertain as to whether a two
thirds majority or only majority
was necessary to assure the adoption
of the issue caused the sending Of
telegram of INJURY TO the state
attorney general. Assistant Attor-
ney General Dumas replied hat only
a bare majority was necessary.
