He also told of U. S&S Chamber of Commerce studies that showed the same fact. Charles Woods warned of the months of construction hampered business problems if the route is not moved. Sven. Skaar defined Nevada City as “one historic monument,” and stated, “I doubt if many of the people born ‘here realize the value of the city.” Albert Johnson, planning commissioner, said: “Ido not believe a freeway should split Nevada City in two.” Stan Halls expressed apmoval of “progress” but said ere engineering accomplishment should not be confused with progress. “I do not believe it is progress if it destroys heritage or kills the pride of a town,” he said. ° . In a present route as p ee Mrs. Florence Kendrick claimed the pattern of NeHIGHLIGHTS OF FREEWAY HEARING vada City has not changed since the route was accepted eight years ago, Dick Knee stated the proposed route displaces few people, and the city needs a freeway badly—a bypass would take too long to get to it. Alton Davies defended the action of the council which accepted the route. He does not like the 1952 council being made a “red herring.” The present route is not exactly the one the council approved, he said. But at the time the highway department (“They shake a big stick,” he said) indicated we were either going to take the route downtown or nothing. Although the state does not strenghthen its position by the delay in construction, allowing in the meantime numerous groups to become active against the route, nonetheless any ther route will hurt some-' one and Davies said he still favored the downtown route. Two or three others cited the belief that to request a ‘review of the route would delay or doom a freeway in Nevada City. Proponents of the review answered by reading a telegram from Frank A. Chambers, deputy director of the California Department of Public Works, stating that no state agency will act with prejudice either to the route or construction date if the people seek a review through proper aiaknels. Outsiders who pled their views at the hearing included: Gene Chappie, fourth district supervisor from El Dorado County, appeared to speak of Placerville which had previously been cited by the highway division as an example of a city with a freeway through the downtown where everyone was happy. Chappie said singe the freeway construc~ tion businesses have been forced’ to move from the downtown. area: they have moved outside the city lime its thus becoming a finane cial loss to Placerville, Resuiting vacancies now hou Se “deadhead indusgtries,” such as county oftices, he said.
