In this way, he said, the council might get a larger expression of public opinion than at a public hearing. "Right now, "hesaid, "we don't know whether it's 200 or 2,000 people who oppose the freeway. " Mullis stated "I don't care wherethe freeway goes. I ‘ll go along with the people." However, he reiterated his opinion that the present route is the best possible one. Councilman Craig Davies supported the idea of a straw vote. Davies opposes the present freeway route. There wassome discussion of the technical problems of conducting such a vote. City ManagerH.J. Ray questioned whether a vote should be held before the state's review of the freeway route, or after. Councilman Jack Brickell expressed interest in a vote, to make the next move, Straw ballots on the freeway matter were sent out with the city water bills in 1951. The result showed 69 water users opposed to the downtown route, as against 60 in favor. Only 172 out of 800 water users filled out the ballot.
