The people OF the northwestern part of
the county in coming to this city are
compelled to take such circuitous route
that proposition has been made to
build a road over the mountains that
will shorten the distance to an almost
incredi BILE extent.
Several repress ntative citizens from
that part OF the county appeared before
the county board yesterday and explained
their wishes. The construction of such
q road as that proposed has been under
consideration for some time and the
supervisors asked many questions bear
ing on the feasibility and also the neces-
sity OF such work.
Two plans are proposed. The one con-
templates the construction of q road
~ totr hnH Las
from German station to Newhall. 1t
would cost ABOUT SIS, 900. At present
residents IN that district have to travel
Tor fifty miles over rough road to Lam
caster to get the train for Los Angeles,
and then thirty-eight miles from Lancas-
ter to Newhall. The proposed road
would cut off this circuitous eighty five
miles and bring the rancher direct to
town by journey of about twenty miles.
The other plan suggested would neces-
state the building of road from New.
hall to Fairmount. about midway be
tween German and Lancaster. This
would cost anywhere from $4,000 to S10,-
the district would be required to travel
from German to Paramount and thence
to Newhall. much longer route than
the first plan proposed.
The citizens who waited upon the
board OF supervisors yesterday showed
they had voluntarily expended over 500
in clearing the route from Newhall to
German from distractions. so that the
county surveyor can make his survey
easily and without hindrance.
In the event of either plan being
adopted the property owners along the
line of road will be asked to grant a free
right of way, and it was suggested by the
board that the committee of gentlement
should see about securing such necessary
concession.
