letter dated March 16th, 1926, requesting this Board of Trustees to adopt a

between Carmel and San Simeon. following consideration of the matter, it was

the following resolution be adopted:
". 7HER,AS, the people of the State of California, at the
General Election of 1919, did approve a measure outlining a system
of state highways to be completed in this State, and did vote a
bond issue in the sum of forty million dollars for the same; and
'MMEAS, of the system of roads planned under the said bond
issue, there still remains to be completed several important links
in what is generally Down as the Pacific Shore Line Route. This
highway runs from San Juan Capistrano through Santa Monica,
Ventura, Oxnard, Santa Barbara., San Luis Obispo, San Simeon,
Carmel, Monterey, Watsonville and Santa Cruzq and thence by the
Sky Line Boulevard to San Francisco. This route, when completed,
will be the most spectacular, awe - inspiring, scenic highway in
all California, if not in the entire world, open three hundred
sixty -five days in the year, developing large areas of agricultural,
grazing, timber and mineral lands, and giving access to the famous
Monterey - Santa Barbara National Forest, one of this states largest
and finest section of public park lands, where free fishing,
hunting and camping grounds for thousands abound, an attraction
to the tourist, and connecting Los Angeles with San Francisco over
a route of unparalleled fertility, beauty, history and romance,
besides being of great strategic and military importance; and
';HERZAS, it is deemed highly important from a point of public
safety that this road be completed to relieve the present and ever
increasing congestion on the two great interior valley trunk lines,
and ewpecially over the Cuesta grade; and
under the provisions of an act of the State Legislature,
an advisory committee has been named to assist in seeking out the
solution of financing the state highway system and further extensions
thereof, in keeping with the wish of the voters of the State of
California; and
':'HMEAS, finances are practically assured for future new con-
struction as well as renewal and maintenace, it is deemed but fafr
and just that the nine central coast counties shall have allocated
to this great project a fair and just portion of the funds to keep
up continuous construction and thus open tip to the public at the
earliest possible date this all important section of the state system
of highways;
