water to work to have Trunk
Highway built going to the north
part of the state which would not
be routed through the cities.
A great many may not know 1t,
but there is big demand for such
a road. The tendency at present
and in the past seems to be to ram
all traffic into the congested cities
and then wonder what is to be done
with it after it gets there. A great
amount of the traffic going north
does not stop in the cities, and is
no material business benefit, but it
may be some time yet before that
fact is discovered.
If they really want TO help to
cure some of their traffic problems,
the Twin Cities should lend their
