Highway Construction Important changes in highway policy, to be undertaken when the necessary additional finances are available, are recommended by the California Highway Commission, in the biennial report of it activities recently filed with Governor Richardson. The report contains 210 pages of printed matter, statistical data and illustrations, including the report of State Highway Engineer R. M. Morton, and is one of the most complete ever compiled by the department. "When funds are available," the report reads, "the commission is of the opinion it would be desirable to assume upon behalf of the state the following activities: 1. Maintenance of traveling state highway routes whether construction has been commenced or completed. 2. The design, supervision, and construction of all bridges on the state highway system; 3. The acquiring of all rights of way necessary for state highway purposes; 4. The construction and maintenance, to such an extent as may be necessary to serve the traveling public, of highway routes through the smaller cities and towns." These activities, the commission believes, are proper functions of the state highway department and sooner on later must be undertaken in the interest of the travelling public. Counties are showing greater and greater reluctance in building bridges, furnishing rights of way and in maintaining designated state highways. The bridge problem is becoming serious. The cost of new structures which should be built immediately is estimated at $12,000,000. Many dangerous come for new construction, maintenance, and reconstruction." Reference is made to the estimate of the State Highway Engineer that a minimum of $200,000,000 will be required to finish the present system. The commission points out that income for all purposes of approximately $20,000,000 a year, after taking care of necessary reconstruction and maintenance, will not leave sufficient funds to carry new construction forward at a much faster rate than during the last three years. GOOD BUSINESS 1925 8AYS SANTA FE CHIEF Holding the most promising views for the outlook in 1925 and particularly stressing the general prosperity that exists today, predicting a record fruit crop with seasonal rains that are falling throughout California, and officially announcing that the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad will spend more millions in betterment and transportation equipment the coming year. Edward Chambers of Chicago Vice President in charge of Traffic is spending the holidays in California. "Strengthened by the record movement of freight the past season in volume and fine service, including the big fruit crop from California," said the vice president, "a greater confidence has been shown by merchants and others who have been buying in a moderate way, thus avoiding great surplus stocks and the cost of carry in them. They feel that with the good condition of the railroads the transportation of their goods will go forward without delay. Business conditions throughout the country are very satisfactory and the various commodities have met with the best transportation facilities ever before in history, thus giving county. State Coombs and St. Fisk, have just speechn tour country as guest pervisors of Imports.

Ownership between cessities, laws gally are interwoven. That legislation led by the fact technically without the state highway planned. Only These activities, the commission is relieves, are proper functions of the state highway department and sooner on later must be undertaken in the interest o f the traveling public. Counties are showing greater and greater reluctance in building bridges, furnishing rights of way and in maintaining designated state highways. The bridge problem is becoming serious. The cost of new structures which should be built immediately is estimated at $12,000,000. Many dangerous grade crossings should be eliminated. The cost will run into millions. The commission expresses the opinion that damage to the highways by overloading in excess of legal limits and the curbing of reckless driving will not be stopped until a force of state motor police under exclusive state control is created and maintained. During the two years it has been in office, the commission has been guided as far as circumstances permit by the following policies, decided upon after a careful inspection of the entire highway system in cooperation with the State Highway Engineer: 1. Completion of trunk lines, including interstate connections; 2. Thorough maintenance with annual revenues of the constructed highways, including elimination or widening of curves and grades; construction of rock shoulders; improvement of drainage; 3. Reconstruction of narrow pavements and county built roads as fast as available funds permit, projects being dictated by condition of the pavement and demands of traffic. Hearty commendation is given the reorganization of the engineer forces put into effect by State Highway Engineer Morton and his adoption of higher construction standards also is approved. Trunk line pavements now have a minimum width of twenty feet. The commission gives its approval to the new convict pay law placed in place. Business conditions throughout the country are very satisfactory and the various commodities have met with the best transportation facilities ever before in history, thus giving confidence to merchants and business men. This fact demonstrates that transportation is the life of business." The official declared that the outlook had prompted the Santa Fe in adopting a budget for 1925 which was no less than this year. With reference to the tourist and home seeker outlook, Mr. Chambers said: "The outlook is favorable for a good winter passenger travel, although somewhat later than customary. This has been due to the mild weather this season up to December. Three sections of the California Limited will be run during January and longer if travel justifies. More settlers are coming to California than ever before, through our colonization department headed by Mr. C. L. Seagrave, that is being worked out very nicely now, and our company is spending large sums to encourage farmers to come to California and the coast agricultural districts. The chief of the traffic department of the system declared the Santa Fe would build a new passenger station in Los Angeles in keeping with the city's importance as a traveling center as quickly as the litigation over the proposed union depot is cleared away. The official said he did not look for any large amount of legislation against railroads at least for four years, as the administration has shown a disposition to give the transportation systems an opportunity to work out their own salvation. The fact that many rail stocks are higher than they have been in several years, he said, was proof that the public has confidence in the railroads. He said he believed in the principle of consolidation as the solution of some of the problems, and declared that would benefit the public. LEGION NOTES "Our aim is to take the Bureau to the man," declares Walter Garrison of Lodi, Chairman of the American Leagues." Hearty commendation is given the reorganization of the engineer forces put into effect by State Highway Engineer Morton and his adoption of higher construction standards also approved. Trunk line pavements now have a minimum width of twenty feet. The commission gives its approval to the new convict pay law placed in operation under its direction. Discussing the convict road camp situation the report says: "Much greater relief could be given the prison situation and far more benefit accomplished for state prisoners by getting more prisoners into the road camps. If this method of construction is to be extended, it should be by direct legislative appropriation to finance each camp for a two year period, or the highway funds used for this purpose should be relieved to the extent of the savings to the prison funds." Reconstruction work, the report says, has been greatly expanded by the passage of the gasoline tax law and more extensive and thorough maintenance has been made possible. At the beginning of the biennium, June 3, 1922, six months before the present commission took office, the balance in the construction fund, including federal aid, was $21,631,621.16. This had been reduced to $6,351,614.73, consisting of uncollected federal aid on June 30, 1924. The commission found contract and day labor obligations amounting to approximately $16,000,000 when it took office in January 1923. That the great task of completing the state highway system may go forward steadily, the commission urges a "continuous and adequate annual in- "Our aim is to take the Bureau to the man," declares Walter Garrison of Lodi, Chairman of the American Legion's State rehabilitation committee. In promoting recent changes by the Legion in the administration of the United States Veterans' Bureau, Garrison will shortly begin a tour of inspection of all hospitals in California in which veterans of the World War are receiving treatment at the hands of the government. Improvements urged by the Legion includes decentralization, partial curtailment of the planning service of the Bureau as regards the medical division and a general betterment of the medical service of the Bureau in the hospitals and in the homes of the disabled. Bearing the endorsement of the state officers of the American Legion, the American Legion Endowment fund campaign is open in a limited number of states during the present month, according to word received from national headquarters by State Adjutant, James K. Fisk. A fund of $5,000,000 will be sought in a nation-wide campaign. The income from the fund will be used in work for disabled veterans of the World War, for orphans of that war, and for child welfare work.

State Commander, Nathan F. Coombs and State Adjutant, James K. Fisk, have just returned from an inspection tour of the Colorado river country as guest of the Board of Supervisors of Imperial county. "We favor the building of the canal as it will open a large territory for farming and provide more land for the ex-service man. It will also protect the farmers of the Imperial Valley from the almost annual destruction caused by flood waters of the Colorado river," Coombs declared. The California and National departments of the Legion have adopted resolutions favoring the Swing-Johnson bill. The California State legislature will be asked to pass a bill prepared by the American Legion to provide for the observance of all national holidays by the state. Legional tree from all sections of California have protested the failure to include Armistice Day as a full holiday along with July fourth and Memorial Day. California American Legion Posts will assemble at Avalon, Catalina Island September 13-16-17 next for the annual convention of the Legion. Those dates have just been set by the Executive Committee of the Legion. UNCERTAIN LEGISLATION With the state legislature in the preliminary stages of its biennial activity, interest in Southern California is centering on what manner of highway and motor vehicle legislation will be framed. Owing to the close relationship between these two human necessities, laws governing them naturally are interwoven. That legislation is needed is attested by the fact that the state is practically without funds for completion of the state highway systems already planned.

West, known to me to be the co-partners who executed the within instrument, and they acknowledged to me that they executed the same. In Southern California, interest in highway and motor vehicle legislation will be framed. Owing to the close relationship between these two human necessities, laws governing them naturally are interwoven. That legislation is needed by the fact that the state is practically without funds for completion of the state highway systems already planned. Only about half the roads designated as state highways have been finished. To remedy his situation some of the counties in the northern part of the state have been urging an increase in the gasoline tax, the funds thus collected to be devoted to new highway construction. This program, however, met with a cold reception throughout Southern California, due to the opinion it was not fair to assess the motorists alone for building roads that benefited all; that 57 per cent of such tax would be paid by Southern California which would receive approximately only one-third of the roads to be built; and because of the expressed intention of some northern counties to have included purely local highways into the state system, thereby imposing the burden of their construction on the state at large. The exiting situation led the Automobile Club of Southern California, the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, and other organization to sound a warning to legislators that this section of the state is not in sympathy with any new highway program that does not contemplate an equitable distribution of the funds raised. It is expected that a plan will be proposed to the legislators dividing the state into road districts under which each division of the state could act more or less independently in its highway program. In motor vehicle legislation pressure is being brought to bear to have a law enacted that will eliminate physically and mentally incapacitated drivers, and set certain standards for all persons obtaining a driver's license.
