The following communication was received from the Salina
Chamber of Commerce:
Salina, Kansas, April 6, 1935.
Mr. H. L. Brown,
City Manager,
Salina, Kansas.
Dear Herb:
Vie are pleased to submit to you and for the con-
sideration of the city officials, the action taken by the
Board of Directors of the highway committee of the Chamber
of Commerce at the meeting held yesterday relative to recom-
mendations to be offered to the State Highway Commission re-
garding the construction of a viaduct on Ninth Street and also
the construction of a by-pass for heavy traffic around Salina,
both for the serving of traffic on 81.
The directors and members of the committee, after
giving this matter due consideration, a motion was made and
duly seconded that the Board of Directors and the highway Com-
mittee in joint session go on record as recommending that the
viaduct on Ninth Street and a by-pass around Salina for heavy
traffic be built simultaneously, and that in the construc-
tion of this viaduct and by-pass anoptional route be
designated as U. S. 81 bIT way of Santa Fe Avenue.
Further, in case the highway Department does not
favorably consider the construction of the viaduct and
by-pass, simultaneously, that U. S. 81 be routed"around
the west part of Salina with an optional route through
the City via Santa Fe Avenue and designated as an
optional 81.
In the case of building the highway around Salina
to the west and designating it as 81, the board and
Committee expressed their sentiment as to the possibili-
ty of the construction of a viaduct further west in
order to serve this new routing of 81, with the feeling
t')at it would serve the purpose as well as a viaduct
being constructed on Ninth Street.
This recommendation is offered to the City
officials for their consideration and such action as
they feel should be taken in recommending these projects
to the State Highway Commission; our Board and Commit-
tee being of the opinion that the matter of recommenda-
tion to the Highway Commission should be by the City
officials.
We would appreciate very much this matter
being taken up at the next meeting of the commission-
ers, and we would appreciate being acquainted with the
action taken on the recommendation offered.
We assure you that whatever assistance or
cooperation the city officials may feel that they would
like to have from the Chamber of Commerce will be
forth coming.
It is felt that the proposal as offered at
the meeting will meet with the general approval of
the citizens of the community.
Yours very truly,
Chas. H. Bren
Secretary
