CLARKDALE LEGION FOR
THE OAK CREEK ROAD

Clarkdale post, American Legion,
sensing the possibilities of a situa-
ton which might mean that compile
tion of the Oak Creek highway prof
ect, the proposed short route to Flag
staff through the wonderful Oak
Creek scenic canyon, would be indef-
initely postponed, has through its
commander, E. j. Fulton, addressed
the following letter to Arizona's rep
resentatives in congress, to the chief
of the bureau of public roads and to-
the chief forester of the United States:
"Some months back this post of the
American Legion Investigated rather
thoroughly the situation with regard
to the completion of the 20 miles of
road necessary to connect our district
by direct route with Flagstaff and the
main highway to the north. At that
time we were advised that no forest
highway funds would be : available
until the original programs of ap-
proved projects, as started had been
completed, but we were also advised
that our senators and representative
had been promised by the chief forest
er that the Oak Greek project would
be the first one to be authorized. In
view of these facts we felt that all
had been done which could be done,
and while the post unanimously en-
dorsed the project, we took no other
official action at that time.
However, it has been brought to
our attention that the chief forester
now proposes to build "a road run
ming from Fredonia, in Coconino
county, to the north rim of the Grand
Canyon. This road is not one of the
approved projects included in the
original program, but, we are advised,
is to be financed by taking funds
from the Flagstaff-Angel project ap-
preparation, which is an approved
project.
GAS you know, it is strict policy
of the American Legion not to be-
come involved in political matters.
However, in matters which directly
affect the good of the nation or
state we most enphatically lend our
to stlieswheel. I'VE decidedly
feel that this Oak creek highway
is necessary and highly beneficial to
Arizona and especially to the citizens
of Coconino and Yavapai counties.
In view of this sincere belief, this post
unanimously instructed the writer to
call for the adhering to the original
plan of approved projects with the
Oak Greek highway promised first
consideration when new projects are
considered, or if the chief forester is
abandoning this policy, to strongly
urge the application of any funds
which may be available for transfer
to the completion of our Oak Creek
highway.
sour membership and the entire
community is deeply interested in
this road and we await an early adj
vice from you as to the status of this
matter in Washington.
Respectfully yours,
(Signed) "E. j. Fulton,
Commander"
