High Speed Route 10 Parallel
Hamilton Is Proposed
BY JAMES II. INGLIS

Sharp competition was develop
ing today between the advocates
of two major public works prof.
ects-a Detroit River front drive
and a new north-south superhigh-
way paralleling Hamilton and
Sixth avenues.
A new large scale project is
being sought for Detroit into
which can be poured the millions
of dollars worth of license plate
revenue which the city and county
receive each year from the state.
These funds which must be ex-
pended for highway improvement
under the constitution have flowed
for the last 10 years into the
major widening projects, such as
Woodward, Michigan and Gratiot
avenues. This work is now near
ing completion.

Walker contends that the Ham

be constructed TO form link be-

1t could later be extended north
to Dawson avenue and then a new
route TO the northwest section
would be completed by linking
Dawson with the south end of
James CouZens highway.
The first section between JEFF
