This action was , following a Thor Quot in discussion of the project at the weekly luncheon of the merchants directorate which was attended by county commissioners Ellwein Carlson and Dunbar by Highway commissioners Bates Johnson and Clark and state Highway Engineer j. Maughs Brown. Following the luncheon a special group composed of the county commissioners present mayor George Fredericks representing th3 City and w. R. Ronald Bradley Young and Frank Winner representing t e retail me chants continued the discussion with the Highway commission. It was brought out that the inspection and approval of the proposed cutoff had been carried to such an extent that it would be unlikely that the Federal Bureau of roads would wish to change construction pain.-. Opposition which had develop i to the proposed cutoff was voiced at the luncheon today and at the meeting of the special committee and the commissioners afterwards the suggestion that the county Board put a tar via surface on the Highway from the City limits to the cutoff intersection was accepted As an agreeable method of dissolving the opposition. It developed that if the cutoff which it was said was sorely needed As a farm to Market Road were abandoned As a Federal Aid project and was construed cd by county and state Road funds it would entail an additional get then Liture of $12,000 by the county. The Cost of tar via to the Junction would be Only about $4,000, so the county would save $8,000 by the agreement As compared with a change of the havens Street Road to a state Aid project.

Dec. 23�? it a Washington today poked inquiringly into the future in an Effort to forecast the outcome of the interstate Commerce commissions plans for the consolidation of the nations railroads. The commissions proposal has in itself no binding effect and was intended for the guidance of the carriers in taking voluntary action. It is believed in Many quarters that lacking the cooperation of the rail lines additional legislation must be enacted by Congress if the plan is to be made operative. For this reason there was a a titular by Sharp watch for any indication of the attitude of the roads attended by much speculation As to what their reaction might be in the course of which it was pointed out that the commissions proposals fell Short of the previously expressed wishes of a number of the carriers. Briefly the plan of the commission would establish Nineteen competing transportation units with five trunk lines in the Eastern Section two in new England three in the South and nine in the West. Among the proposed key lines were the Pennsylvania Baltimore and Ohio Chesapeake and Ohio new York Central and the Wabash in the East the Boston and Maine and new Haven in new England the Atlantic coast line the Southern and the Illinois Central in the South and the great Northern Northern Pacific systems the Chicago Milwaukee St. Paul and Pacific the Burlington the Union Pacific the Southern Pacific the Santa be the Missouri Pacific the Rock Island and the Chicago and Northwestern in the West.
