RECEIVED <br />MAR 8 1968 <br />BOARD OF S11MVISORS <br />Editor Tracy Press» <br />Tracy, California <br />11arch 7, 1968. <br />Your editorial on TRACY BOULEVARD gave me a sinking feeling. Maybe <br />we should look into this a little more. <br />The new forth interstate By -Pass will have huge signs suspended <br />over the east and west approaches to the City, saying: "TRACY - <br />MXT THREE EXITS." The exits will be marked with the name of the <br />road. This will even comply with our Sign Ordinance; "Tot over <br />two signs to a business." What more effective signs can you get? <br />As to the three present names, what is the matter with the name <br />JEFFERSON? According to my old maps this road was there and named <br />before either Tracy Island or McKinley. It was named for the old <br />Jefferson School that used to be on it; founded as early as the, <br />18701s. Other north/south streets like Madison, Wilson, Lincoln, <br />and even McKinley were named to conform with the pattern establish- <br />ed by Jefferson Road;, to honor our Presidents. <br />Thomas Jefferson was our Thilyd President. Although he carve to be <br />knadn as "The Great Democrat" he was at times bath Republican <br />and Democrat. And lets not forget he wrote the Declaration of <br />Independence. <br />What's the matter with JEFFERSON all the gray from the Diablan Hills <br />north through Tracy to terminate at the intersection with the east/ <br />went Lammers woad; the big curve near Whitehall.? <br />I would appreciate it if,you will publish these second -thoughts for <br />everyonets consideration, including our Supervisor Frank L. Hoyt. <br />Earle E. Williams <br />EMI/cc Frans L. Hoyt.' <br />Vice Mayor. <br />Filed <br />� AR 14196� ,19..__._ <br />RALPH W.EPPERSN4-C <br />RK <br />QY <br />i <br />
