City Highway Route Change Heads North via Knox Street
Authorities indicate the state highway will exit the city to the north by Knox street. Commissioners weigh Monmouth avenue but view it costly due to half a mile of new road and fill. The preferred turn would run from Main street at Knox and extend through A Parker’s land to the main road near the high school gym, benefiting business districts.
