The battle lines are drawn: East vs West. I understand the decision has been made and we shall have a freeway bisect our land east of the city. It seems a shame to plan a freeway through the most attractive land for future homesites. The area along the bench from the J Hill to Cedar Point could become a suburban expansion similar to other areas along the Wasatch Front; Payson for example. I have talked to many visitors from urban areas during the past 20 years. They invariably mention how fortunate we are to be situated so close to the Jim Beard, the Thermoid mountains. executive from California, predicted 23 years ago that one day our residents would awaken to the value of hillside homesites. Homebuilding has moved east during the past decade and will eventually reach the heights, barring such a deterrent as a freeway. The propenents of an east freeway claim that more travelers will stop in Nephi. This is pure conjecture. Who knows? I feel safe in saying that if they need gas, food, or lodging they will stop; otherwise they will bypass us at M P H regardless of the freeway I From 1000 B.C. until 1960 mans was directed by dollar signs. are now entering an era of social where aesthetic values must be When we build a freeway or an industrial plant, when be harvest the forests or construct a dam, when we mine a mountain or lay a pipeline, we must be sure we do not pollute our air, land or water, and that we protect the aesthetic values for future generations. President T. R. Roosevelt once remarked concem- ing a natural view: Dont touch it. There is nothing you can do to improve it. We can look up the mountain or down the mountain, but there is no way a freeway can enhance the view. When our grandchildren ask who the Devil al-- ? lowed that freeway through Nephis heart I wish to be on record as a protestor. Signed: FRANK H.
