Junior Chamber Says Election Results Support Arterial Committee Gives Analysis Of Returns Increasing public support for the state's proposed urban arterial route through Oneonta was brought out during the general election and the primary election, according to the arterial route committee of Oneonti Junior Chamber of Commerce. A statement was released yesterday by the committee, composed of Edward S. Close, chairman, Charles Koenlg, Roger Dorn, Bruno TalevI Quentin E. Grant. "There were several factors during the recent elections." the statement said, "which are very significant regarding the planned Walnut Street arterial route.

"PERHAPS the outstanding factor was the decisive defeat of Charles E. Truscott In the primary election. Mr. Truscott is well known for his opposition to the project, and he emphasized his opposition in his campaign statements. "His opponent, Donald C.

Trinklno In the Third Ward, announced publicly that he favored approval by the Common Council to as to make possible referendum by the people. "Mr. Trinklno won the primary election against Mr. Trus- rott and went on to an easy win In the general election. "Another interesting spot was the Fifth Ward.

Alderman Morris E. Howry had long been on record as favorisg passage ol the program by the council. He won the election by a large margin. -Of TIIK RKMAIMXG four Republican candidates for the coin til, none had taken a stand on urban arterial route, SJid three of the four lost. "During the campaign an hide pendent non-partisan groupl not the Junior Chamber o( Commerce) offered to sponvnr a lorum on the Walnut arterial ruute.

"It planned to have two persons take the pro side and two other persons to take the con side. They had trouble getting the pros but forced abandon the plan because they couldn't find two opponents who would speak. "We believe these facts indicate that the tide has turned in favor cl the urban arterial route." TIIK STATK has ottered to spend about 13,009.000 in rebuilding and relocating Route 7 Inside Oneonta If the city will provide the additional land at an estimated cost of J.VO. 000. or one sixth of the total cost.
