At a meeting attended by Gen- eral Manager Truman Pierson of the highway association and a spegial committee of the Crookston Associa- tion of Public Affairs the matter of routing the national highway thru Crookston was taken up and a tem- porary committee consisting of C.

E Mr. Pierson is making the trip to Winnipeg from New Orleans over the Scenic Highway and has left for the Canadian city. He plans to return in a short time and by that time it is expected it will be decided to route the highway from Crookston to Win- nipeg via Warren, Argyle, Stephens and Hallack.
