ASK TRUSTEES FOR SPECIAL TAX LEVY
BOARD OF TRADE WANTS $2,000 FOR ADVERTISING PURPOSES ON SPECIAL TRAIN
RINGING RESOLUTION PROTESTING AGAINST EXPERIMENT STATION AT SAN FERNANDO
Much oratory was heard at the meeting of the board of trade Monday evening, most of it being turned loose by Messrs. Grafton and Wagner, who are endeavoring to promote interest in the advertising train which it is proposed to send throughout the east displaying products of California and scattering descriptive literature. This scheme of advertising California was suggested by the Grafton Publishing Company to the San Diego exposition publicity bureau and was endorsed by that body as the best of the thousands of advertising propositions presented. It is proposed to send a train loaded with the fruits of California soils on a transcontinental trip. It will travel 11,000 miles, visit 27 states, and stop at 1,350 cities. Accompanying the train will be Angeles, wherein is quoted from the statistics of the Citrus Protective League of California, placing said lands in the San Fernando Valley in the category of "undeveloped citrus lands," and
"Whereas, The value of the citrus industry has now reached the vast sum of $50,000,000 per annum and with the trees now planted, will reach the sum of approximately $100,000,000 within the next ten years exclusive of the great walnut industry which amounts to $4,000,000 additional, and
"Whereas, This proposed experimental farm is for the protection of these industries and further development of same, and
"Whereas, the sum of $60,000 is wholly inadequate to purchase a choice site in the demonstrated territory of the citrus and walnut belt, be it therefore
"Resolved, That the honorable board of regents be hereby petitioned to delay the acceptance of a site until after the next session of the legislature; be it further
"Resolved, That all civic bodies, orange growers and walnut growers' associations be requested to do everything within their power to have the next session of the legislature appropriate a sufficient sum of money for the purpose of purchasing therewith a suitable site in the choice locality of the successfully demonstrated territory of the citrus and walnut district of Southern California."
Hundreds of protests against the San Fernando site were fired at the regents and that august body deemed it prudent to make an investigation before accepting a possibly unsuitable site because it was a free gift. Anaheim may not land the station but

It is proposed to send a train loaded with the fruits of California soils on a transcontinental trip. It will travel 11,000 miles, visit 27 states, and stop at 1,350 cities. Accompanying the train will be a personal representative of the governor, and a representative from each end of the state. These gentlemen will look after the social end of the expedition, will hold receptions, visit, and interest officials, state, county and municipal, in the exhibit. A publicity committee will distribute the literature, give interviews and arrange matter for publication in the newspapers of the various towns and cities through which the train passes.
The plan is an elaborate one and costs money, therefore these gentlemen are on the road now endeavoring to finance it by pursuing counties and cities to take space in publications which will be issued. This matter was explained to the board of trade a few weeks ago but was side-stepped because of lack of funds, but Mr. Grafton talked to better purpose Monday night as a motion asking the city trustees to raise $2,000 for financing the plan by a special tax levy prevailed and the advertising committee was instructed to present it to the trustees. Also an effort will be made to raise another thousand in Anaheim and its surrounding country by private subscription. This money is to pay for a pamphlet descriptive of Orange county which, Mr. Grafton says, has the hearty endorsement of the board of supervisors. Each supervisor district will have equal space in the book, 250,000 copies of which will be printed if the full sum of money required is subscribed. The matter for each section will be prepared by its own representatives; consequently each is promised a square deal, although it occurred to several members of the board that it would be the first time Anaheim had ever been so favored in matters pertaining to the entire county. D. W. McDannald, Orange county's booster, will have charge of the work. Fullerton and Orange have already agreed to enter into the scheme.
Trustee Stark expressed the opinion that it was too late for the board to take action on a special tax levy this year, but the committee will present the matter to that body tonight.
That the matter of selecting a state citrus experiment station site was still in abeyance, and that San Fernando had not yet picked the plum notwithstanding its endorsement by commission appointed for that purpose, was evidenced by a letter from the board of regents of the State University acknowledging receipt of the protests against locating the station in an unsuitable place, and stating that the matter had been placed in the hands of a special committee for future action.

That the matter of selecting a state citrus experiment station site was still in abeyance, and that San Fernando had not yet picked the plum notwithstanding its endorsement by commission appointed for that purpose, was evidenced by a letter from the board of regents of the State University acknowledging receipt of the protests against locating the station in an unsuitable place, and stating that the matter had been placed in the hands of a special committee for future action. J. F. Ahlborn therefore introduced the following resolution which was adopted with enthusiasm:
"To the Board of Regents, University of California, Berkeley, Cal."
"Whereas, The sum of $60,000 was set aside by the last session of the legislature of the State of California for the purpose of purchasing with said sum a suitable site containing not less than 200 acres within the citrus belt of Southern California, said site to be used in establishing thereon an experimental farm for the protection of the orange and walnut industry, and
"Whereas, A commission was appointed to carefully select a suitable site of 200 acres for the proposed citrus station and experimental farm, and
"Whereas, Said honorable commission found upon careful investigation that no suitable site of 200 acres can now be purchased within the territory where the culture of oranges and walnuts has been successfully demonstrated for the sum of $60,000, and
"Whereas, Said honorable commission did not find it advisable to spend the $60,000 or any part thereof for the 15 different sites offered, but accepted a site of 200 acres within the San Fernando Valley, which site was offered free of charge to said honorable commission, and
"Whereas, A great many protests have been voiced by orange growers throughout Southern California against the selection of this site for the proposed experimental farm for the reason that the site is located outside of the demonstrated territory for citrus and walnut culture, which fact is also admitted in a resolution of the honorable city council of the city of Los streets Saturday afternoon, watching the progress of work on the new German American bank building. He was in the street as the sidewalk and a portion of the thoroughfare is fenced off and littered with building material. P. Gildea, driving an automobile, turned the corner, driving slowly. His car struck a pile of sand, swerving a little and Thomas, who was absorbed in contemplation of the work, failed to notice the approaching car and was knocked down and run over, being dragged several feet.
Thomas was extricated from his position beneath the auto, lifted inside and driven to the sanitarium by Mr. Gildea, where he was examined by physicians. It was found that his injuries were not of a serious nature. No bones were broken, but he sustained several severe bruises and cuts which are sufficient to place him on the invalid list for some time. Thomas is an employee of the sugar factory.
Witnesses say the driver of the car was not to blame for the accident, and Thomas, it is said, exonerates Mr. Gildea.

The road between this city and Fullerton has been torn up by pavers and is almost impassable. The best road for those traveling north is to turn east on Center street, proceed to Kroeger's corner, about a quarter of a mile east of the Santa Fe tracks, and there turn to the north. Proceed on this road to the first paved road, adn then turn west on that. This road will lead into Fullerton.

Already machinery has begun to arrive and is being dumped into the plant of the Universal Tire Company, formerly the Dreyfus winery, in the southwest corner of the city. Nearly twenty thousand tons now litter the floors, and ten thousand tons more is en route from the east. As soon as Mayor Cook gets the last of his hay crop out of the big building and a few needed repairs are made, work of installing the machinery and preparing for the manufacture of tires will begin. It is impossible at present to fix upon a definite date for opening the plant, but officials of the company think that within three months it will be in actual operation.
The building is in excellent condition and few repairs are needed except replacing the several hundred, or
Guerra claimed that Secaria owed him $22 and refused to pay the same but Secaria declared that the bill was padded to the extent of $6, the correct amount, which he confessed he owed, being $16. After hearing both sides the court decided to reject both statements and make a bill of his own. He gave judgment against Secaria for $20 and setnenced him to jail for 60 days unless the judgment is paid. A number of his friends were on hand and made an effort to raise the money and rescue him from jail but failed.
Heinrich Jarabak was also in court, charged with vagrancy. His case was a clear one, without extenuating circumstances, and he was handed a 30-day sentence.
CAT EATS TURK,

Mysterious Disappearance of Barnyard Fowls Explained
A gentleman living in the eastern part of town who is devoting some attention to raising chickens and turkeys has lately noticed that his young turks and peeps have been mysteriously disappearing, one or more each day. Some ten weeks ago one of his prize clucks brought off a dozen thoroughbred young turks, and although these were given the most careful attention they disappeared one by one until the flock was reduced to four. The young
southwest corner of the city. Nearly twenty thousand tons now litter the floors, and ten thousand tons more is en route from the east. As soon as Mayor Cook gets the last of his hay crop out of the big building and a few needed repairs are made, work of installing the machinery and preparing for the manufacture of tires will begin. It is impossible at present to fix upon a definite date for opening the plant, but officials of the company think that within three months it will be in actual operation.
The building is in excellent condition and few repairs are needed except replacing the several hundred, or several thousand window panes that have been lost during the thirty or more years it has lain idle. The thick walls are as solid as in the days of its youth, the flooring and roof are as good as new, and it stands as a monument to the efficiency of the men who built it a third of a century ago. The building is 80x204 feet in dimensions and three stories in height. It contains therefore 48,960 square feet of floor space, and being well lighted is admirably fitted for the home of the factory. The basement floor is of sand but will probably be cemented and the vast room used principally as a warehouse.
The machinery to be first installed will have a capacity of turning out one hundred tires per day. This will be added to as rapidly as possible and it is the intention of the directors to fill the building to its capacity and manufacture five hundred wheels per day. It is estimated that the building is large enough for such an output. In the neighborhood of 200 men will be employed in the beginning, and the officials are confident that a force of 500 will be required within a year from the beginning of operations.
President Holdaway, while in the east some weeks ago, contracted with the Crucible Steel Works of Jersey City, N.J., to supply the steel required in the manufacture of the tire. This steel is called Vanadium, is made under a special process, and tests show that it has several times the strength and durability of ordinary steel. The rubber will be purchased in the open markets as needs require.
Messrs. B. J. Anderson and D. O. Mackay, stockholders and salesmen of the company, were in town Thursday from Los Angeles in the interests of the plant. They were driving a Studebaker to which was attached a Universal wheel. It fulfilled all the extravagant expectations of the builders. There are many wheels that have been in constant use for weeks, and all are still in perfect order. Only two breaks have been made in the many severe tests to which the wheel has been subjected, and those were in the first manufactured when faulty steel was used in the construction. It is claimed that with the superior steel which will be used a tire on ordinary roads should average thirty thousand miles.
The Universal Company will manufacture the Holdaway non-puncturable tire. This is claimed to be the only tire patented that is impervious to puncture. It is constructed of a number of steel wires embedded in wood pulp, fitted into a solid rubber outer tire. This is clamped onto the rim of the wheel with an air chamber he
Mysterious Disappearance of Barnyard Fowls Explained
A gentleman living in the eastern part of town who is devoting some attention to raising chickens and turkeys has lately noticed that his young turks and peeps have been mysteriously disappearing, one or more each day. Some ten weeks ago one of his prize clucks brought off a dozen thorough-bred young turks, and although these were given the most careful attention they disappeared one by one until the flock was reduced to four. The young birds are at present twice the size of a pigeon and are objects of especial admiration on the part of their owner. On Sunday afternoon, after calling upon another gentleman who also raises chickens, but has not yet amassed the nerve to try turkeys, and speaking of the disappearance of his birds and saying he had reached the conclusion that it was cats, he returned to his home to find one of his prize turks in the maw of a strange cat, which was engaged in making a feast upon it. He stepped into his residence, procured a shotgun, and blew the cat's head off. Knowing that another predatory, preaceous feline quadruped had been roaming about the neighborhood without visible means of support, we took a target rifle and went in search of it. He located it on top of a haystack, and placing the rifle at its head, was about ot blow it to atoms, when the cat, awakening, made a desperate dash at escape. The rifle was there with the goods, and a ball entered its head. Score, 2 shots, 2 cats. The following day he counted his little birds and they all answered present.
DIGS FROM UNDER OVERTURNED AUTO
Henry and Charles Shafer Have Mishap in Canyon Sunday
Henry Shafer of this city and his brother Charles, of Santa Ana, had a mishap Sunday which came near proving serious. The two men were in an automobile in Santiago Canyon, and were turning around when the steering gear loosened. The machine went off a seven-foot embankment, and turned turtle. The only reason the two men were not crushed to death instantly was that a root of a tree held a part of the weight of the machine. Charles was able to use his hands and succeeded in scratching away enough soil to free himself from the machine. He was uninjured but Henry was still pinned down. Charles succeeded in extricating him and it was found that he had sustained two broken ribs and other injuries of a minor nature.
Henry Shafer was taken to the Santa Ana hospital, arriving there about 10 o'clock. Shafer's attending physician, Dr. Ball, said this morning that the patient was resting easily in spite of considerable pain in the right side. The accident was caused by a defectCompany, and E. S. Morrow, manager of the company at Santa Ana, were in town this week interviewing a number of their patrons relative to the bum service put up to the subscribers here by their company. Mr. Lynch was given a plenty of tangible evidence in a brief interview that subscribers to the Pacific system in this city were upon the point of ordering out their phones for the reason that the company's long distance service is characterized by such inferiority that many of its subscribers never use its line for long distance telephoning. A number of them who have Pacific phones in their residences or places of business go to the central station of the Home company to do their out-of-town telephoning. He was also informed of the wretched service of his company along other lines, and promised to take the matter up and rectify the evil at the earliest possible moment. These criticisms were made to him in friendly spirit, and he was informed the reasons for these strictures were made in the opinion that he should be fully informed concerning them. He admitted that the agreement of his company to give this city better long distance telephone facilities had been lived up to only in part, and he said he would at once see to it that that agreement was lived up to in every detail.
As is well known the Pacific system operates all long distance telephone business from this city by way of Fullerton. Thus a subscriber here desiring Los Angeles calls central and after a lapse of some time gets long distance at Fullerton. Long distance calls Los Angeles, for instance, and after securing the party with whom one wishes to converse, Los Angeles calls Fullerton; then Fullerton calls this city, and after the lapse of an unconscionable length of time, connection is finally made—sometimes. Frequently it is necessary to call up long distance again regarding the message, and sometimes an hour or more elapses before connection is finally made. This, Mr. Yynch had pointed out to him, was not good service, and he was informed by one gentleman that unless better service were given subscribers in this city many phones would be ordered out. He was told that this insurrection against his company would begin at once, but on his statement that he would rectify the evil, although he could not do so this week, because his superior official was absent in San Francisco, a brief respite was granted him. He was assured, however, that unless rectification was immediately made, and that unless his company's long distance telephoning would be operated through this city for local subscribers, his phones would be put on the retired list. One gentleman informed him that unless better service were given he would promise him that 200 phones would discontinue business relations with his company.
Asked whether it would not be possible to obtain interswitching privileges by subscribers here, as is done in other towns in Orange county which maintain only one system, he failed to give any adequate assurance that this would be done.
have been made in the many severe tests to which the wheel has been subjected, and those were in the first manufactured when faulty steel was used in the construction. It is claimed that with the superior steel which will be used a tire on ordinary roads should average thirty thousand miles.
The Universal Company will manufacture the Holdaway non-puncturable tire. This is claimed to be the only tire patented that is impervious to puncture. It is constructed of a number of steel wires embedded in wood pulp, fitted into a solid rubber outer tire. This is clamped onto the rim of the wheel with an air chamber between sufficient to allow for the resilience of the spring. There is no inflated tube to blow out and cause expense, delays and possible disaster to the owner, as a puncture would have no effect on the tire. Aside from its economy it will prevent accidents and annoyance, and will do away with the necessity of carrying extra tires. It is also claimed that it is easier riding than the old tire. It has been thoroughly tested over rough and uncertain roads, and has always come out triumphant, even exceeding the claims of the inventor.
The manufacture of automobile tires is one of the greatest industries in the United States. The sales in California alone amount to almost $20,000,000 per annum, and experts who examined this tire declare that it ought to revolutionize the system. At any rate the directors expect to secure a generous slice of this business.
TWO JAIL SENTENCES IMPOSED BY COURT
Unpaid Board Bill and a Common Vag Make Business For Recorder
Hernandez Secaria was tried in Judge Howard's court Monday on the charge of neglecting to pay a board bill. The charge was preferred by Martin Guerra, who conducts a boarding house in the sugar factory region.
HORSES FRIGHTENED AT PASSING HANDGAR
Bob McKee Unloads Carload of Hay, His Team of Horses Make Break For Liberty
As Bob McKee was unloading a carload of hay at the Santa Fe depot on Saturday morning, his team of horses, which stood in the yard beside the car, took fright at a passing handcar and stampeded. The horses were headed south and while Bob was busily engaged in getting a neckhold upon the nay in the car, they wheeled about and started on a run for Center street. They headed north on Orange street, and at North street collided with a telegraph pole. The wagon remained lodged against the pole, while the horses, freeing themselves from the vehicle, turned west on North street and made their way to town on Emily street. They were caught near the city hall and fastened to a hitching rack. Bob came up after them in a few moments, having made the mile run after them in record time. The wagon escaped almost without injury, but Bob had to go down in his jeans for a new set of double harness. He got the hay out of the car in time to escape paying the railroad company demurrage. He bought it at San Bernardino at $15 per ton, and says it is the finest hay he ever saw.
FATALLY BURNED BY GASOLINE EXPLOSION
Mrs. Pedro Rocha Receives Injuries Which Cause Death Within a Few Hours
By an explosion of gasoline, Mrs. Rosario Rocha, living on East Cypress street, was fatally burned Friday morning. She was engaged in making preparations for a meal at the time and attempted to hurry the fire by pouring gasoline upon it. The can exploded, scattering flaming gasoline over her, and in an instant her clothing was ablaze. Mrs. Rocha rushed from the house and attempted to reach a hydrant in the yard, but was overcome and fell before she could turn the water on. Her son, a 16-year-old boy, ran to her assistance and attempted to tear the blazing clothing from her body, but was severely burned about the hands. Neighbors finally arrived and succeeded in putting out the fire but not until she received terrible burns.
Physicians who dressed the burns declared that there was little chance of her surviving the severe injuries and the shock but after doing all that could be done to relieve her sufferings,

GEN. ROYER CHIEF OF CITIZENS POLICE
National Convention Elects Him Head of Organization in United States
At the annual session of the Citizen's Police Organization, held last week in an eastern city, Gen. J. O. Royer was elected chief, and is now at the head of the order in the United States. A force of 1,000 members was recently organized in Los Angeles for which the general was partly responsible, and he was placed in command by Chief of Police Sebastian. He is a member of the Los Angeles police force, standing on the roll as patrolman No. 312, also a member of Silver Star lodge, Knights of Pythias, which is composed entirely of Los Angeles policemen, being the only K. P. lodge in the world admitting to membership only members of the police force.
Some months ago Gen. Royer offered ten acres of his ranch in the western suburb of Anaheim to Silver Star lodge as a site for the widows and orphans home which the lodge contemplates
RIVER OVERFLOW HEARING SET FOR JULY 21
SUPERVISORS FIX THAT DATE FOR CONSIDERING FORMATION OF PROTECTION DISTRICT
LITTLE OPPOSITION IS BELIEVED TO EXIST INSIDE THE DEFINED BOUNDARY LINES
After considerable work on the part of the committee of the Anaheim board of trade, appointed April 9 for the purpose of defining the boundary lines of a river protection district and securing signatures of property owners favorable to the move, the date for hearing the petition has finally been fixed by the supervisors for Tuesday, July 21, and on that day this question which has been agitated for years and which is so momentous to Anaheim and its surrounding country will for the second time come up for decision before the board of supervisors.
The committee having charge of the work was composed of F. C. Krause, E. A. Day, W. M. Wellman, E. N. Cook and John Bruns. A month ago representatives of the committee appeared before the board and requested a date for a hearing, but were advised to secure more names to their petition be-
JAP BERRY GROWER FINED, SHORT WEIGHT
Offered to Make Good Crate Shortage, but Sealer of Weights Wouldn't Have It
George McPhee, sealer of weights and measures for Orange county, is rapidly getting himself disliked—in certain quarters. McPhee roams about the county, seeing to it that the housewives are not short-weighted by Japanese berry growers, nor swindled by fake peddlers offering refuse pork shoulders as ham at high prices and short weight. These gentry have been through this section, and according to report have unloaded many of their so-called hams hereabout. These fellows were arrested and fined at the county seat, and they should have met with similar treatment hereabout. The other day a Jap berry grower drove into Santa Ana with a crate of berries that was under weight. Mr. McPhee confiscated the berries, placed them in cold storage, and swore to a complaint against the son of Nippon. The Jap offered to fill the boxes to standard weight but McPhee was obdurate, and the Jap was fined $5.
WILL CELEBRATE ANNIVERSARY
Popular Young Couple Will Have Been Married 49 Years Next Sunday
Rev. and Mrs. Markle will, on Sunday, celebrate the 49th anniversary of their wedding, which was solemnized at Newark, Ohio, at the close of the Civil War, when the young bridegroom returned from the Atlanta campaign to manage the general was partly responsible, and he was placed in command by Chief of Police Sebastian. He is a member of the Los Angeles police force, standing on the roll as patrolman No. 312, also a member of Silver Star lodge, Knights of Pythias, which is composed entirely of Los Angeles policemen, being the only K. P. lodge in the world admitting to membership only members of the police force.
Some months ago Gen. Royer offered ten acres of his ranch in the western suburb of Anaheim to Silver Star lodge as a site for the widows and orphans home which the lodge contemplates building. A committee came down, inspected the site, the surroundings and the town and accepted it without hesitation, declaring it to be an ideal location for the home. Plans have now been perfected for the buildings which, it is announced will cost $125,000, and work will shortly begin on their erection. Only widows and orphans of Silver Star lodge will be admitted, but it is said that this is only a neucles around which other Pythian homes of a similar character will eventually be built.
The name of the district petitioned for will be known as the "Anaheim Storm Water District of Orange County." The boundary line begins at the Santa Fe railroad bridge on North street, follows that street east to the Garden Grove road, thence south to the Ball road. The area is not large but it is believed there will be little opposition inside these lines, the committee being careful to eliminate as much as possible all sections hostile to the move. The river bank to be dyked and made overflow proof begins at the railroad bridge and extends to a point three-eighths of a mile below the Olive bridge, being a stretch of one and one-half miles. County Surveyor McBride estimates that the cost of the work will be $15,000, or probably a little more. The supervisors have agreed to pay half of this sum from county funds, the balance to be paid by a tax levy on property in the district. Yorba representatives made an effort to have the protection work extended as far up the river as that point, but to do so would mean to incur an additional $100,000 of expense and necessitate taking in additional territory which is known to be opposed to the proposition. Fullerton and Garden Grove both objected strenuously to being incorporated in the district, consequently were left out. Fullerton is practically a unit in opposition to being included, and to stretch the boundary around that town would endanger the plans and make success doubtful, consequently Anaheim would have to pay for Fullerton's protection should the work be extended to Yorba.
A couple of years ago when the matter was first considered, a petition was presented to the supervisors and a hearing had before that body. The district proposed then contained miles of territory and when the hearing came up such an opposition developed that the cause was overwhelmingly burried. After 1,250 protests had been filed H. G. Ames, representing the petitioners, threw up his hands and acknowledged defeat without further proceedings. It was determined then that a small district should be formed giving Anaheim and its contiguous territory protection, and in order to avoid another defeat as many opponents as possible should be eliminated from the boundary lines. If there is any opposition inside the present lines it is slight and, it is believed, cannot jeopardize the
WILL & CELEBRATE ANNIVERSARY
Popular Young Couple Will Have Been Married 49 Years Next Sunday
Rev. and Mrs. Markle will, on Sunday, celebrate the 49th anniversary of their wedding, which was solemnized at Newark, Ohio, at the close of the Civil War, when the young bridegroom returned from the Atlanta campaign to claim as his bride the young lady with whom he had fallen in love before the outbreak of hostilities. That she did not marry a handsomer man during the bridegroom's absence at the front is due to the fact that there was not a handsomer man in all the state, nor is there now. The worthy couple look confidently forward to celebrating their golden wedding anniversary next year. They have the esteem and high regard of all their friends and neighbors, who wish for the young couple many more years of happiness and prosperity in their wedded life.
Marco Hellman of the Farmers' and Merchants' Bank of Los Angeles, was in town on Friday attending a meeting of directors of the Anaheim National Bank. Mr. Hellman is a director of this sterling financial institution, and is connected with 21 banks in the state, some of them the largest financial institutions in the west. He spoke in high terms of praise of progress made by the Anaheim National, and said its standing was abreast of the foremost financial institutions of the Southland. The bank declared its usual semi-annual 4 per cent dividend.
Rev. and Mrs. David Todd Gillmor, of St. Michael's Episcopal church, will spend the months of July and August at La Jolla-by-the-Sea, where a thorough rest will be enjoyed. During the rector's absence services at the church will be in charge of Rev. J. H. Camp.
The cost of the work is insignificant, being probably less than $10,000 to the district, but much depends upon its consummation. The supervisors have made it plain that the new concrete bridge at Olive will not be built until its approaches are amply protected by the formation of this district. The building of the bridge, therefore, hangs upon the decision at the hearing on July 21. If the petitioners are successful work upon the new bridge will begin as speedily as practicable and the old eyesore now spanning the river will pass into history. Furthermore it will prove a connecting link between the interior towns and the beach. The proposed highway will be built and will be the main artery for travelers from Riverside, Redlands, San Bernardino and other eastern towns. Nothing will be done to improve this road until the bridge is built and the bridge will not be erected until it is amply protected.
This time promoters of the project have worked with caution. They learned wisdom from the former defeat and have included in the territory only such as is believed to be favorable.
