Crestline Advocate, 1920-12-02

Deen taken until last Friday when a delegation of Crestline, Mansfield and Bucyrus people visited the head headquarters - quarters headquarters of the Lincoln Highway As Association - sociation Association at Detroit and there the de decision - cision decision was made by officials of the Association to make the change at once and make it a permanent mat matter - ter matter by the immediate erection of the markers which the Lincoln Highway is using in their official marking from the Atlantic to the Pacific. In changing the route of this great highway between Mansfield and Bu-, cyrus the officials took only one mat matter - ter matter into consideration - the shortest and most efficient route between Mansfield and Crestline. In a sur survey - vey survey of both routes by disinterested engineers it is found that the Crest Crestline - line Crestline route is approximately two miles shorter. This might vary a tenth of a mile either way but when it is con considered - sidered considered that the entire distance be between - tween between Mansfield and Bucyrus is on only - ly only about twenty-four miles, it can readily be seen that a saving of two miles in this short distance is quite an iteiji to the tourist. And the Lin Lincoin - coin Lincoin Highway is a transcontinental road; it is built chiefly for tourists who are making long trips east and west across the country and local conditions are entirely a secondary consideration. The Lincoln Highway Association is not interested in either Crestline or Galion as communities which might be benefited by this road. If Crestline happens by geographical conditions to be on the straight line drawn for the construction of this road between the two coasts, then the Lincoln Highway Association is interested in Crestline only to the ex extent - tent extent that it may benefit their road. They expect the moral and financial support of the people of this com community - munity community in maintaining this highway. There is no other matter of moment to be taken into consideration. While a great deal of construc construction - tion construction has been completed on the for former - mer former route of the Lincoln Highway through Galion, a careful survey of conditions reveals the fact that the new route can be completed as quickly between Mansfield and Gal Galion - ion Galion as the old one and when the im improvements - provements improvements are complete it will then be the shortest. The Lincoln High Highway - way Highway Association does not attempt to say a single word against the old route except just this: It is the longer route and, therefore, not en entitled - titled entitled to consideration.
