HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 31
By Delegates Rodigheiro, Eldridge and R. Miller
(introduced january 24, 2018; referred to the committee on roads and transportation then rules)
Requesting the Division of Highways to remove one of the two current signs that designates an approximate nine-mile section of WV Route 14 beginning at the Lowe Family Cemetery and ending at the intersection of WV Route 14 and WV Route 10 in Logan County as the “Lowe Mountain Memorial Highway" and keep a single sign at the Lowe Family Cemetery designating the highway as the “Lowe Mountain Memorial Highway".
Whereas, During the 2017 Legislative Session House Concurrent Resolution 50 was passed naming the highway as the “Lowe Mountain Memorial Highway" that honored the Lowe Family Cemetery located at the top of Lowe Mountain, elevation 2,177 feet, as the final resting place of the following brave veterans: Jerry Lowe, U. S. Army, Vietnam; Roy Lowe, U. S. Army, (KIA) World War I; Nolan Porter, U. S. Army, World War l; Cecil Porter, U. S. Army, World War II; George Porter, U. S. Army, World War II; Wetzel Lowe, U. S. Army, World War I; James Roberts, Sr., U. S. Army; James Roberts, Jr. , U. S. Army, Vietnam; Elbert Kilgore, U. S. Army, Korea; lra Ramsey, U. S. Army, World War I; Virgil Mullins, Sr., U. S. Army, World War II; Herbert Ferrell, U. S. Army, World War II; Hubert Lowe, U. S. Army; J. B. Lowe; and Darrell Lowe; U. S. Air Force; and
Whereas, The sign for the “Lowe Mountain Memorial Highway" nine miles away from the cemetery has caused some confusion with many residents because it is too close to a preexisting sign for Rum Creek; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Division of Highways is hereby requested to remove one of the two current signs that designates an approximate nine-mile section of WV Route 14 beginning at the Lowe Family Cemetery and ending at the intersection of WV Route 14 and WV Route 10 in Logan County as the “Lowe Mountain Memorial Highway" and keep a single sign at the Lowe Family Cemetery that designated the highway as the “Lowe Mountain Memorial Highway”; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Commissioner of the Division of Highways is hereby requested to remove the sign for the “Lowe Mountain Memorial Highway" that currently exists nine miles away from the Lowe Family Cemetery on WV Route 19; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk of the House of Delegates forward a copy of this resolution to the Commissioner of the Division of Highways.
