GROUP OPPOSES PLAN FOR ROAD EAST OF RIVER Holyoke, West Springfield Represented at 'Hamp Session. Northampton, July 16-A ful house of Northamptonites an out-of-town officials unanimousl went 1A7 record tonight as OF posed to any plan which woul relocate Route 5 on the east of the Connecticut River and by pass Northampton.

The move came at meeting at City Hall called to unify thinking so as to be able to press the State Department of Public Works to construct the limitedaccess road according to a locally-favored plan, Though the DPW has made no official announcement to how the highway would run. in the Northampton area, many are apprehensive lest Northampton be cut off and become a "ghost town." The state DPW already has informed Holyoke and Greenfield as to how the road will routed in those areas, and several tonight felt this city should be so informed. Among. those present at the session, presided over by Mayor Cahillane, were civic and government leaders of Holyoke and West Springfield. There was general agreement on a plan, fostered by the TriCounty Automobile Club, which would take the road from West Springfield through the western part of Holyoke and through the there "notch" to into proceed Easthampton, across Route from 66 Northampton and rejoin the present Route 5 near the Laurel Park state police barracks.

The highway would continue north parallel to the present artery. Conrad Hemond, former secreHolyoke Chamber of Commerce, said his city is opthe state plan which would take the highway through heavily-populated sections of Holyoke, bringing about heavy expense in damages and land-takings, and is working to come up with a counter-proposal. The plan outlined tonight drew no opposition from Hemond, Discussion also was heard on the question of how a limitedaccess road. affects downtown business, a consideration uppermost in the minds of several Northamptonites present tonight. S.

William Burchiell, executive of the Auto Club, quoted a publication of the national Chamber of Commerce which maintained that superhighways take through traffic out of the city and give; local shoppers a chance to move: around in downtown areas. Traffic. which would visit a city will do so regardless of the availability of access roads, he continued and was supported in this view by several others present. Interchanges listed on the plan favored tonight include Prospect Hill near the Soldiers' Home in Holyoke, Route :10. near the Easthampton-Southampton line, Route 66, Route 9, and Laurel Park.

Industrial sites of considerable size have been proposed at the Route 10 and 66 exits. Many pointed out that the plan proposed involves much less land-taking and similar expense than the state-proposed route for Holyoke. State Commissioner of Public Works Carl Sheridan, while not revealing any of the three or four plans the department has in mind for Northampton and not represented at tonight's meeting, has indicated, Mayor Cahillane said, that one plan involves "taking a curve out of the river," presumably near the Laurel Park area. The doubt here lies in the fact that, according to what ready has been would revealed to Hol-1 yoke, the road come the east side of the river, and there is no assurance that it will cross to the Northampton side before it is above the heart the city.
