New Area Freeway Routing Considered by State The California Highway Commission this week had under consideration the adoption of a freeway routing for the relocation of 3.7 miles of U.S. Highway 91-State Sign Route 18 (Riverside Freeway-Santa Ana Canyon Road) in Orange County northeast of the city of Orange. State Highway Engineer J. C. Womack has recommended a route which runs north of the existing highway eastward from Crescent Drive to a junction with the existing route 2.3 miles east of Imperial Highway. For a portion of its length it runs through some of the original flood plain of the Santa Ana River. The extent of the river bed is now controlled by Prado Dam. The commission has requested Womack to ask the Orange County Board of Supervisors if it desires a public hearing on the matter before further action to adopt a freeway routing is taken. Plans of the State Division of Highways call for the construction of an initial six-lane freeway with provisions for future eight lanes. Cost of the initial construction is estimated at approximately $6,280,000. Start of construction would depend on the availability of future highway funds.

Hanna Fights for Orange County Entity as Congressional District Reports that the State Assembly Elections and Reapportionment Committee has received suggestions that consideration be given to joining Orange County with part of Los Angeles County in forming a new congressional district invoked sharp comment from Assemblyman Richard T. Hanna of Fullerton this week. Hanna said he will oppose any such "marriage" with Los Angeles County in setting up a congressional district. "I feel," he said, "that a final decree of divorce between these two counties was granted in the early 1900s. Independent recognition for Orange County, with its problems which are divisive and different from Los Angeles County, has been hard won. "I intend to do everything in my power to see that there is no backsliding into the past. I am convinced that, far from partisan considerations, the best interests of our county can best be served by one district wholly in Orange County and a second which joins part of Orange County to a portion of San Diego County. "This is provided, of course, that the present gerrymandered 28th Congressional District, which was put into its present form by a Republican-controlled Legislature, be restored to a shape which can be justified on grounds of fairness and equity."
