The Glenwood post., 1924-03-27

George, thence via Richfield, Utah, Sa-
lima, and Price, and was informed they
had no routing via that route, and only
could give routing via Salt Lake. All
routing being via that line naturally
will split this business three ways, ono
via the Lincoln highway and Cheyenne,
the other via the Victory highway,
both cutting out Glenwood springs,
and what was left would come our way.
After running the gauntlet through the
information bureau finally got in
touch with various chiefs of the re-
gpeetivs departments and after a num-
Der of meetings which included the
higher officials and board of directors
q the Auto Club Of Southern Califor-
mia, it was decided by them to first
log the road over route above mon
toned and if they could get permission
from the State Highway department Of
the state of Colorado, they would sign
up these routes at their own expense,
entailing a total expenditure of ap-
proximately $4,000.
Through Mr.. Carlton Of Colorado
Springs l took up the matter Of get
ting this permission, and Mr. Carlton
took up this matter with Commission
ers Weiser of Grand Junction and
Lansing of Colorado Springs, and upon
my return I found letter from Mr..
lansing quoting Maj. Blauvelt as stat
ing there would be no objections only
they could not ask the Rocky Noun
tain Motorists to remove the few signs
which they had already placed. This
was transmitted to the Auto Club Of
Southern Californa. The first logging
car will leave Los Angeles the middle
of April in charge of Mr.. Rhodes, chief
engineer, and after spending about
three weeks in Utah logging, he should
reach here about the middle of May.
Another car in charge of Mr.. Doig,
manager of routes and maps, will Yseve
q little Later, coming to eastern Colo
RADIO via Ell Paso. Their intention il
to log through Colorado, the route east
via Red Cliff and Leadville, then the
Colorado Midland highway via Basalt
and Leadville, also the Independence
Pass road if it can be negotiated.
"I purposely asked for these three
routes 80 we can take care of our good
neighbors at Carbondale and Aspen to
get the benefit Of this logging and
signing up.
Through the good offices of tho
California club arrangements were
made to publish between now and
April 10 an article describing the
DAYLIGHT TRALN-Two wggmu
scenic attractions Of the Colorado Mid
land highway from Colorado Springs
to Glenwood Springs, illustrating 1t
iwth numerous views along the line in
cluding both Of above mentioned
cities. This article will be published
in the Los Angeles Times in one Of
their Sunday editions, with about

making this folder part Of their regu-
lar stock Of folders, and they assured
me they would give Glenwood Springs

chase any, they viii be furnished a
