HIGHWAY C0MMISS.
IN QUANDARY 0vEn
Three Routes to Ventura Present X
vantages and Defeots--one
Is to BE Im-
proved

Which. of the three possible routes
leading to Ventura should be improved Is
a problem puzzling the county highway
commissioners. Each OF the roads pre-
sents advantages ard disadvantages.
The Santa Suzanna, the Calabasas or
Canega road and the Newhall or Saugus
route are the three under consideration.
The Senta Suzanna route was visited by
engineers Saturday at the request Of the
commissioners. They Travelled up as far
as the Santa 6uzanna pass, but found
considerable difficulty getting along the
last few miles on account of the mud.
Present conditions, however, will give
them an opportunity to study the road at
its worst.
The commission is now placed In an
awkward position by the discovery Of
what seems to be an omission In the
county good roads bill, under which the
commission Is operating. This defect
consists In an absence Of a provision for
salary from the time the first annual
report of the commission ID submitted to
the hoard of supervisors until the bonds
are voted and cashed.
Roy L. Cheesbro discovered the defect.

One hundred years ago this ancient
