RIVERSIDE, April 24.-Plans are
under consideration for a Riverside
seaside boulevard that shall connect
this city with Newport Beach, the
nearest coast point to Riverside. The
distance is forty-eight miles and with
the exception of strip of road through

fairly good road the entire distance.
The matter is to be taken up at a joint
meeting of the Orange county super

1t is proposed to widen the canyon
road and put the entire mileage in eX-

make the trip by auto to Newport,
East Newport, Balboa and Laguna
Beach. The supervisors of both coun-
ties are enthusiastic over the plan, and
the money necessary will be provided
