As result of the first meeting of the newly created San Diego county highway commission, consisting of A. G. Spaulding, J. D. Spreckels and E. w. Scripps, a survey of the coastroad to Los Angeles was ordered, and i'm mediately thereafter work to be com. menced on the road south and east to Imperial. The commission decided that the work should be taken up i'm mediately and George Cook, the engi neer, was directed to begin examining the condition of the coast road run ming to Los Angeles from point on the north line of the city of San Diego
 The Chairman of the commission E. w. Scripps, in outlining the work said. San Diego is a large body of land, and it's characteristics are such that it would undoubtedly pay the peo- pie of the county to build a fine sys- tenn of roads within it's boundaries, without regard to outlying territory but more than half of the value of this enterprise will be lost unless all of the immediately adjoining counties un- dertake to make similar road improve ments, and thereby secure free and un- obstructed communica tion between the principal cities and towns of all of these counties.
 Tt is important that we should eX- ercise such influence in Imperial county as will cause that county to build a good road over the desert to meet our east-going San Diego county boulevard. This road should be con structed as trunk line, connecting the important centers of Silsbee Fl Centro, Imperial Holtville and CaleX- ico.
 "The law providing for this highway commission is in itself nothing but an expression of impatience on the part of the public with the ordinary men and methods prevailing in otficialdom. This highway commission has been provided for and appointed with the view that the public is to enjoy the benefits, not only of better improve ments more ineXpensiyely produced, but far more promptly produced.
 We are all busy men and have enough of our own affairs to attend to. We are accustomed to dispatch our own business quickly and without any unnecessary formalities and parleys, We are giving our services free, and though willingly, we do not feel call ed upon to devote any more time to this subject than the least possible necessary to accomplish the end in view. The sooner we get this matter out of the way, the better it will be for ourselves and for our community"
 The secretary was instructed to open correspondence immediately with the highway commission appoint ed by the board of supervisors of Riv- erside county, the highways commits sion appointed by the board of super visors of Los Angeles county, the Chamber of Commerce of Imperial county and the Chamber of Commerce of Orange county, to the end that con ferences might be held between these bodies, and the highway commission of San Diego county, so that the sys- tenn of roads to be constructed in these counties would connect with the sys- fem of roads to he constructed in San Diego county.
