COUNTY ENDORSES
JEFFERSON ROUTE
Commissioners Urge Highway
Body to Include 1t in Pro
gram For Next Year

Endorsement of the jefferson can
yon route between Three Forks and
Whitehall, on the Yellowstone trail,
was given Monday by the board of
county commissioners at a meeting
with the representatives of the diff
ferent road committees of Gallatin
county.
After adjournment of the session.
the commissioners addressed a letter
to the state highway commission at
Helena recommending the proposed
route and urging that it be included
in the 1928 program. In part the let
ter said:
$50 far as the board is concerned,
we consider this road Jefferson can
yon route) a very important highway,
which should be constructed without
further delay. 1t is not only an inn
portant section of the trunk line
through the state, but it has cOnsid-
cradle value to the west end of Gal
latin county in affording means of
transportation for its products to
Butte and points between.
$50 far as the location is concerned
we appreciate that your board must
make determination on that subject
after a careful consideration of the
two proposed routes. We do urge
however, that the right route be
chosen, regardless of the first cost
, as the traffic is heavy on this road
and will RAPIDLY and constantly IN
crease when it is put into condition
for all year travel. A route which
will permit of all year travel is i'm.
pOrtant also. as the element of drift
ing snow in the winter time must bC
considered.
cit is the opinion of the members o.
our board as well as the opinion o.
the others who have attended th'
meeting, that the best route, all thing;
considered, is the jefferson canyon
route, and that the difference in frs
cost would be more than compensate
