60 JOURNAL OF THE [Jan. 27, 1999]
Route 38, and various other routes now under local jurisdiction; and WHEREAS, This route is considered by many to be historic in the fact that in 1912, there was a vision with an absolutely radical idea that there should be a paved highway across this country from New York's Time Square to Lincoln Park on the Pacific Ocean in San Francisco as noted by the formal September 6, 1912 charter that read: "Resolved that the Lincoln Highway now is, and henceforth shall be an existing memorial to the immortal Abraham Lincoln"; and WHEREAS, In 1919, Lt.
