"Thc condition which is recognized

BEGIN BUILDING RIVERSIDE
ROAD TO THIS VALLI

Los Angeles Examiner: With one
million dollars actually in the bank
for new roads, Riverside county COM
menced yesterday to build the longest
link in the new commercial highway
between Los Angeles and Imperial
Valley. That is the word brought
in by Harold l.. Arnold, Los Angeles
distributor for Hudson and Dodge
Brothers automobiles.
Mr.. Arnold is so deeply interested
in this important motor and truck
highway development that be had O.
K. Parker, the well known highway
engineer, make special trip with
the Hudson road inspection car to
investigate just what had been ac-
complished and what was to be done
in building the Riverside county por-
ton Of the work. That this portion
will form one of the important links
in this highway is indicated by the
fact that 100 miles of the entire route
traverses Riverside county.
Sixty-seven miles of macadamiacd
and concrete road are already con-
structed from Los Angeles through
Riverside, to Alessandro, and the
money appropriated, surveys made
and construction about to begin from
Alessandro through Moreno TO Beau
mont Construction work commenced
last week on the seven miles of con-
crete road between Beaumont and
Banning, and the entire ninety-four
miles of road from Los Angeles to
Banning will be open for motor traf-
fic by June 1 of this year.
The concrete road between Beau
mont and Banning is being built un-
der specifications Identical in char
acter with those prepared by the
state highway commission, and will
be sixteen feet in width, the contract
having been let for this work Febru-
airy 8.
Competitive bids were received last
Wednesday on different classes of
construction for the road from Ban
ming to Palm Springs by way of
Whitewater Point, covering first
form of construction known as i'm
proved gravel and oil road sixteen
Imperial Valley press., 1915-02-25

feet in width; second, a concrete road
with turnouts every 500 feet; and
between Banning and Palm Springs
known as single track highway with
concrete base nine feet in width and
third, a natural gravel road with
rolled base and decomposed granite
top.
These competitive bids were opened
by the Riverside county board of su-
pervisors and were referred to the
county highway commission with pow
er to act. The county commission
will, within the next three or four
days, accept some one of these bids
and construction work will be COM
menced at Banning and be pushed so
vigorously on the twenty three miles
that it is anticipated the entire road
to Palm Springs will be finished not
later than August 1.
From Palm Springs to Indio, dis
tance Of twenty three and one-half
miles, the road traverses an alluvial
soil, which, with hard trap rock and
gravel near at hand, can be made into
an excellent rock and gravel road at
very low figure of cost. In antici-
patton of this class of construction,
Riverside county has already appro-
priated $4,000 per mile, or total
Of $5S,750, for the early construc-
tion Of the road from Palm Springs
TO Indio.
Between Indio and Mecca II miles
1t has been practically determined to
build concrete base road to cost in
the neighborhood of $1,000 a mile
The conditions between Mecca and the
Imperial county line, thirteen miles,
are such that an improved trap rock
and gravel road can be built for S2,-
500 a mile.
Summing all this information to-
gether, it appears that Riverside
county, in appropriating $227,0OO, will
be able to have a thoroughly modern
and permanent highway, suitable for
the operation of high-speed motor
trucks with merchandise to and from
Los Angeles and the Imperial county
line, a total distance of 166 miles.
This leaves but thirty-eight miles
of unimproved road to be built across
the desert west of the Salton sea to
Imperial Valley press., 1915-02-25

the Imperial Valley.
The report of Engineer Parker and
w. w. Pedder, which was made last
week to the roads, parks and boule
wards committee of the Chamber of
Commerce, demonstrated the entire
feasibility of this portion of the route
and indicated that the commercial de-
velopment of Imperial Valley could
be participated in by Los Angeles
merchants through the transportation
of the millions of dollars in trade
which will be interchanged annually
between this city and Imperial Val
ley.
San Bernardino county has already
commenced the expenditure of $780,
600 on roads which will connect with
the proposed Los Angeles-Imperial
Valley Commercial Highway, The
entire expenditure under the recent
bond issue in San Bernardino county
for good roads will be $1,750,000.
The meeting to be held at the Hol-
lenbeck hotel next Friday evening at
$50 o'clock of officials, supervisors
and representatives of commercial and
civic organizations, is expected to
bring some material developments for
the furthering of the road project.
The meeting was called by the Cham
ber of Commerce as a result of the
report made by Parker and Pedder to
the roads, parks and boulevards com
mittee, of which G. A. Brock is
chairman.
