crossover on sr 19 at trustone cement block plant

It is about impossible for us to get on 19 at the present crossover if we want to head west until we turn around. Hugh Hannah of the State Road Department was present and stated it is our policy to establish entrances to roads already being used. Probably if we stretched a point, we can put two crossovers between Lake Shore Drive and St. Clair Abrams Avenue.

atlantic coast line right of way from umatilla to altoona
