CALIFORNIA PUSHING
ITS GOOD ROADS WORK.
Expect to Complete System OF Twenty
seven Hundred Miles In 1915.

California has become a good road
builder that is. she has taken up the
work as a corporate commonwealth.
Two years ago the people Of the state
voted an $50 900 bond issue for this
specific purpose. The funds being
available. the actual work of construc,
ton has begun. The total mileage con
templated by this act amounts to 2.7OO
miles. and 1t is expected that the work
will be finished in 1915.
The farmers and dairymen are right
on the job. and they may % only
make these roads Of good use in their
daily business. but at the same time
they and their families may avail
themselves of Joy rides to their hearts
content. The construction Of this great
system Of public highways has already
begun, the work being in charge Of the
California highway commission. a body
Of three members. appointed by the
governor Of the state.
Generally speaking, the system will
include two great highways connecting
the northern and southern parts of the
state, n running down the coast line.
and another inland following the
course of the valleys Of the Sacramento
and San Joaquin. Branching of from
these two trunk lines will be lateral
roads connecting county seats and 9th
er important centers of population.
The specifications in general make
the following demands: Right Of way
