NOW LET'S SEE
The PLANS

Action of FL Centre civic groups III ap-
proving the idea of Main street rail
road underpass and at the same time
virtually disappearing any detailed plan
which would materially damage abutting
business establishments was the wisest
which could have been taken under the
circumstances
1t left the way open for construction
of an underpass in FL Centro, whereas
any other action would have killed such
a project for at least two years, and
possibly for a much longer time. At the
same time it made provision for later
objections by the same groups in case
plans drawn up by the state highway
department indicate that adjoining prop
erty will suffer irrepairable loss.
Had the groups in question said to
the state highway commission and the
federal bureau of public roads, mo, We
do not want an underpass on Main
street" those two agencies would have
dropped the entire matter Immediately.
They have said as much bluntly and
clearly.
What the city has said, in effect, is
I'VE will be glad to get the underpass
unless it causes great damage TO some
of our residents and business men,
In other words. the city reserves the
right to revise its opinion if and when
detailed plans are drawn up, as none
have been thus far. 1t is only right that
this should be the case. We cannot be
expected TO take unqualified action on
d matter we know very little about.
What the city has done, in effect, is
to keep the underpass a live issue, in
stead of allowing it to die an inglorious
death after more than a decade of civic
labor
The next step is to see the plans. After
that, Ell Centrans will know more about
what their proper course of action should
hp
