Page Five New Highway To | College is Assured | (Continued from Page 1) closely to Dale Summit, and then | along the Pleasant Gap-State Col- | lege road to the Houserville inter-) ‘ ’ seotion, east of Lemont, where It! ! will bear to the north, by-pass Le- mont, and join the present State College road in the Millbrook area. | This route was sald by highway engineers to be the more practical of two possible routes into Belle- ‘ fonte. The other route would have | passed through the Frank Beezer | fields to enter this borough back of | ’ E) the Centre County Hospital. This course would direct heavy traffic past the hospital; would follow the | steep grade from the hospital to | Willowbank street and would neces- sitate a right-angled curve at the foot of the steep grade. For these reasons the Willowbank street en- trance was given preference | i The plans call for a slight cut in the grade opposite the John Robin- son home on Willowbank street, and a considerable fill in a hollow near the Wion and Tressler homes, in the » vicinity of the Borough-Spring { \ [ J township line | 7, Damages incurred through ‘he EA a Willowbank street entrance will be comparatively low since only several properties will be involved, It was a ‘ o ® % 1 sald : : \ | col govt fiz vo-petation 40 | garnished In ear Ved the plan by passing a resolution to the effect that the borough will or- : - Mm dain the lines and grades when fi- COMPLETE To ® h 3 pA nal plans for the road are submit- Folding ted.
