GRAND AVE. BUENA PARK JOHN MITCHELL HENRY LEGARI California's Highway Problem Second only to that of Water By SENATOR JOHN MURDY, Jr. It is an alarming fact that within the next 15 years all but two thousand miles of California's 14,000-mile network of highways will have fallen into disrepair, unless something is done now. This question is second only to water. The upper house of the legislature, realizing this, had by senate resolution requested the division of highways to designate the roads most critically deficient. The result of the division's study was the legislature's first major highway bill — for the establishment of a mainline highway system (SB 1061) that passed the senate last week amid fireworks. The mainline principle or concept, generally espoused by the highway financing people, is partly this: to pick out the major roads and get them corrected first. Senate Deadlocks Expected by the old timers, perhaps, but of some surprise to me, this bill brought about a deadlock vote, the first in the senate's 1953 session. An amendment was immediately proposed, and a vote called for its adoption. Present were only 39 senators due to the death of one of their number earlier in the session. Thirty eight voted. One senator remained silent. The vote stood 19 to 19. There was no question, yet, of north vs south. For the benefit of those who came in late, the state is divided roughly at Tehachapi, at the Breed line, named for the president pro tempore in 1933 when the line was established. The southern 13 counties have always claimed that, according to vehicle registration, they supported in gas taxes 60 per cent of the total highway system. The 45 northern counties maintained they paid 50 per cent. To settle the debate, the legislature decided to benefit the metropolitan areas, exclusively. Eventually the silent senator reached a conclusion, and two other senators reversed their votes to "no." Quickly new amendments were offered. But all of these were likewise rejected in the end and the senate's bill passed over to the assembly, intact. As the bill passed the senate it is incomplete. It is purely a bill getting up the routes, with no provision for financing it. So the bill is only the first step. It must be followed by a tax bill to support it. Except for the astronomical figures of ultimate cost, we understand the problem so far. There is the matter of the present tax provision—projected into the future—which will account for all but one million dollars, needed to spread out the payment over the useful life of the mainline system. There is one of two plans that will most likely be carried out: the increase of 1½ cents-per gallon on gasoline; or 1 cent plus a bond issue of $500 millions. Finance Problem The joint fact finding committee on highways hired the Automotive Safety foundation, a nonprofit organization devoted to traffic safety and sound highway development, to make a comprehensive engineering survey of our There was no question, yet, of north vs south. For the benefit of those who came in late, the state is divided roughly at Tehachapi, at the Breed line, named for the president pro tempore in 1933 when the line was established. The southern 13 counties have always claimed that, according to vehicle registration, they supported in gas taxes 80 per cent of the total highway system. The 45 northern counties maintained they paid 50 per cent. To settle the matter the legislature decided on a compromise and, in 1947, over the Collier-Burns act, arbitrarily set the percentage figures for highway maintenance money at 55 for the southern 13 counties, and 45 for the 45 northern counties. Country vs. City But this was not an issue this time. Imminent, however, was the issue of Cow county senators vs. the city boys of the assembly. If this first major highway bill could pass the senate without amendment, which would ostensibly weaken it, it would have a better chance in the assembly. A similar measure was coming up in the assembly to correct what the metropolitan - minded assemblymen considered the weakness of the senate bill. In other words, the 14,000 miles recommended by the highway division, and outlined in the senate bill, were not exactly the same highways that would Lack of Parental Control Cited For Delinquency Ninety five per cent of juvenile delinquency cases coming to the attention of the Orange county probation office are due to lack of parental control, lack of security, lack of understanding, and broken homes, it was stated recently by Lewis Kitter, Orange county deputy probation officer before a meeting of the health council of Fullerton union high school and Fullerton junior college. Narcotics is only one per cent of the trouble in court, Kitter said. In 1952, there were only 87 juvenile narcotics cases investigated in the Fullerton area out of 1862 in all of Orange county. Only eight of the 1862 finally went to court. Duty of the probation officer, he explained, is to investigate juveniles under suspicion including the useful life of the mainline system. There is one of two plans that will most likely be carried out: the increase of ½ cents per gallon on gasoline; or 1 cent plus a bond issue of $500 millions. Finance Problem The joint fact finding committee on highways hired the Automotive Safety foundation, a nonprofit organization devoted to traffic safety and sound highway development, to make a comprehensive engineering survey of our present and growing needs. The foundation estimated that it would require $3.4 billions to bring our future highway system up to standard, adequate to carry the traffic, and stated that the main cause of the breakdown is and will continue to be capacity — or population increase. The foundation did not tell the committee anything it did not already know. But it is of some satisfaction that the foundation's findings are based upon project of a scientific nature as to the amount taxes are increasing, the volume of traffic we will eventually have, and the kind of highway system we will ultimately need. The first major highway bill, SB 1061 (Regan) is an effort in that direction, and it remains only for us to iron out the differences and agree upon the financing. That's all. AT COOKING SCHOOLS...

JAM and JELL Narcotics is only one per cent of the trouble in court, Kitter said. In 1952, there were only 87 juvenile narcotics cases investigated in the Fullerton area out of 1862 in all of Orange county. Only eight of the 1862 finally went to court. Duty of the probation officer, he explained, is to investigate juveniles under suspicion, including background, history, school, and parents. An attempt is made to determine what will be best for the child's welfare, possibly a testing period set up by the court to determine if he can be decent or if he must be turned over to reform school for treatment. Out of every 100 who go through court and the probationary program, of two to three years 75 or 80 turn out to be good citizens after dismissal, he said. Petty thefts, auto thefts, and burglary constitute most of the cases. There were 103 auto theft cases in Orange county during 1952 for which juveniles were responsible. Of these 98 per cent of the cars had keys left in the locks. Problem children crave recognition, Kitter declared. If they cannot get it through society, they end up in crime to get attention. Needed is more community action to help problem children in preference to helping children who need no help. Every county except Orange has a school for problem children, he said.
