Mr.. Lack stated the decision Of the
county highway commission had been
reached after visit to Yuma, where
the Yuma -Somerton highway was in
spected and found to be in perfect con-
dition.
He further stated that the highway
commission proposes to advertise for
three kinds Of bids, one on a concrete
highway, one on q concrete highway
with a surface and the third on War
renite highway.
1t was his contention that over a
given number Of years the use Of a
Warrenite road would be $4,000 a mile
cheaper to the county and this was Wig
orously disputed by members OF the
delegation present.
The fight on Warrepire is being Wig
orously carried On by many people
throughout the county.
The contention that Warrenite would
be cheaper to the county was new one
and it was explained that the cheapness
was because Of the guarantee Of the
company to maintain it's roads for a
stated period Of years, Of no cost to the
county, while the estimated upkeep to
the concrete is added to the first con-
structon cost.
A wide divergence Of opinion was not
ed here and many statements were
made that the whole matter was mere
ly guess work to a large extent and
that the road should be built to conform
to sttae highway commission specifica-
tions.
Mr.. Lack explained that when bids
We're called they would all be for five
or five one-half inche road so that
the public could readily estimate what
would be the cheapest to build.

Motion Granted; Report
Withdrawn; New One.

This morning strong and emphatic
protest to Chairman f. S. Lack of
Brawley was made by a large number
of Seeley people over large number of
alleged defects in the plan of the com.
mission.
Threat was made that if the super
visors accepted the present plan of the
highway commission an injunction
would be secured restraining the county
supervisors and the highway commits
sion from letting any contracts for
work
The plan of the highway commission
as presented to the supervisors includes
the construction out Of the present ST..
500, coo bond issue of road from Braw-
ley to Calipatria, from Brawley east
and south to Holtville; feeder from
Imperial east until the north and south
section Of the Brawley-Holtville road is
reached a road from Ell Centre to
Calexico and a road west from Calexico
to Mt. Signal.
This program according to the resi-
dents of Seeley is widely at variance
with the system outlined in the bond
issue election. None of the roads for
the westside are provided for at all.
See!ey emphatically went on record
as being willing to tie the whole thing
up in the courts before such discrimin.
alton would be permitted.
Equally emphatic protests were made
to Mr.. Lack over the decision of the
