A WIDE TIRE ORDINANCE
Is Earnestly Desired by Citizens of
Riverside
liberia is Still Prevalent and Fatal
Notes About Town

RIVERSIDE, Jan. 19.-The impression
has gained circulation through unrelia-
BILE sources that the other counties
in Southern California refuse to join
Riverside county in the adoption of a
uniform wide-tire ordinance. This is not
the case except in one instance. Of the five
counties the supervisors of San Ber-
nardino and Orange counties have signi-
fed their unanimous sympathy with the
movement by this county, and Los Angeles
county supervisors have agreed to fall in
to line if San Diego county will also come
in, the hitch being if San Diego county re-
mains out it will give the wholesale dealers
there an advantage over Los Angeles, as
the Escondino people now buy largely of
Los Angeles dealers. 1t is yet hoped that
the San Diego county board can be induced
to fall in.
