Automobile Club Backs Proposals
Motorist Organization Urges Support of Propositions Three and Four
With a slogan of "Safety in Traffic," a campaign is being launched by the Automobile Club of Southern California and the California State Automobile Association, on behalf of a "yes" vote on Propositions 3 and 4 on November 8 ballot, according to C. R. Brandon, Anaheim district manager of the Automobile Club of Southern California.
Brandon declared that modernization of California's street and highway administration, unchanged in its essentials for more than a quarter of a century, is essential to the decrease of the state's appalling accident rate.
"Two steps are required in this modernization. The first is the insurance of the gasoline tax fund against diversion from any purposes other than for streets and highways, and emergency loans to one school fund. This insurance provided by Proposition 3, which establishes present legislation as a part of the state constitution, thereby making it impossible for any legislature to make use of the gasoline tax funds for political spending. The measure already passed a two-thirds vote of both houses of the legislature, and waits only a "yes" vote by the electorate to become a guarantee of future street and highway security."
There can be no safety in traffic without long term planning, which in turn is dependent on stability of financing. With the passage of Proposition 3, all attempts at political tampering with highway and street funds will be

An application has been filed with WPA for a 45 per cent grant of $9,000 to aid in construction of the $19,000 city hall project.
