Our county Line 10 DO thxe0s
OF late there has been some dispute
in regard TO the boundary line bstwes n
San Diego and San Bernardino counties
1t seems that when the survey was
made, our San Diego friends did not fol
low the line as originally fixed by the
statutes, and the Board Of Supervisors
Of each county have now empowered
the County Supervisors Of their respect
i've counties to 20 and establish the lime
where it properly belongs. This line al
originally fixed by the statutes will add
to our county all Of the San Cor
gonio Pass, and the line will
cross the Southern Pacific railroad
somewhere to the east Of Whitewater
station. 1t will give up much larger
strip Of the San Jacinto plain; also from
fifteen to twenty miles more Of the Cali
fornia Southern railroad. The new line
will probably take in the town of Perris.
Our sister county has held back and
been very slow to take action in the
matter. bnt now things will 60 ahead.
and work will be commenced surveying
the line about the middle Of next month.
