TEN THOUSAND MILES
OF PAVED HIGHWAYS

/ Lin. end to end all the paved and
highly improved roads of Southern
California and make of them a con-
tinuous ribbon and it would reach
twice across the continent with enough
left over to twice connect the Mex
ican and Canadian borders on the
Pacific coast.
This is shown in an official report
issued by the Automobile Club of
Southern California which is to be
used in huge publicity campaign
throughout the East to interest mo-
torists in a trip across America to
this king of touring fields.
For what is believed to be the first
time, the Automobile Club has COM
piled table Of approximately the
exact number of miles of paved and
ciled highway in Southern California.
Including tours through cities and
over city streets, it reaches the STU
pendous total of 1908 miles, of which
I3,736 miles is of recent date.
This total is made up of roads built
! by the state, by counties and by mu-
inequalities, and does not include
routes which are travelable, but which
lave not been graded.
1t shows that there are 1894 miles
of paved roads in Southern Califor-
mia. Of this, 562 is state highway;
1877 built by counties and approxi-
mately 6o5 is paved city streets.
Practically every county in South
ern California has voted from 81 1,OOO,-
100000 to $3,500,O00 for good roads,
while the state has and is building
paved roads from the funds supplied
ty two bond issues, the first for $751;
100000 and the second of $4,000, 900.
In fact, it is pointed out by Automo-
bile Club officials that there is no
other section Of the world, equaling
1.-THE area of Southern California, which
has done so much highway improving
and road building in the past ten
years.
According to the Automobile Club
statement, there are approximately
I5,072 miles of excellent oiled high
way in this part of the state, supple
niented by 1887 miles of improved
|strets, making a total of 1904 miles
of highways which are in perfect con-
dition for automobile touring.
While many millions of dollars has
been spent by Southern California al
ready for roads, many millions more
|Will undoubtedly be spent in the fu-
ture, according to a statement made
yesterday by Secretary S. L. Mitch
|ell Of the club. In other words, good
road work is not going to stop here
merely because this section has
reached fame as the best "highwayed'
area in America today.
Another feature of the road system
is the sign-posting of the highways
by the Automobile Club, an organi-
zation which has worked in the inter-
est Of road bonds and better high
ways since 1900. 1t is announced
that the club has erected more than
$4,000 signs and posts and in one
year distributed more than $4,000
maps guiding motorists over thu
roads here.
