The entire plan had been formu- lated at various conferences by lead ers of the several townships outside of Crand Island. It had, however, the approval of the county highway commissioner and met no particular objection from the representatives of the city. Its main opposition came from the representative of Washing ton township, south of Grand Island, in which is located the greater por tion of the Union Pacific shops and the entire property of the American Beet Sugar company and what was stressed as the main point was de clared to have only one road that would be made a county-township road. County Attorney Joseph was summoned for an opinion and de clared the plan entirely legal.
