The entire plan had been formu-

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

in which is located the greater por
tion of the Union Pacific shops and
the entire property of the American

stressed as the main point was de
