HOW THE NEW ROAD
WILL HELP BOTH CITIES

President J. o. KOepfii of the Los
Angeles chamber of commerce followed
Governor Wells in an able address, COW
ering the chief advantages each city
is to gain through the construction of
the new road. Mr.. KOepfii is a man Of
much influence in his home city This
was indicated by the warm reception
given him by the Angelenos when he
arose to speak. His address is proof
of the fact that he has a strong grip
on the affairs OF his community and all
that effects its welfare. His address
follows:
