ROAD SALESMAN
EXPLAINS TYPES
TO FARM BUREAU

Speaking before the directors of the
Farm Bureau Thursday at their annual
meeting, II. w. Bohnman, of the Port
land Cement Co., explained the differ
ence between types of materials under
discussion, for the building of Imperial
county roads. N'<4saMla
He spoke for some Is or 20 minutes
and when he finished the board of di-
rectOrs passed a motion, appointing a
committee to investigate and go into
the details of the plans submitted by
the county supervisors.
In speaking, Mr.. Bohnman explained
that he was not here trying to have the
contract awarded to the Portland Ce-
ment Company, his duty was to influ-
ence the county offifiicials in putting in
the best roads in the county at the least
possible cost and yet have the best
road it is possible to build. According
to Mr.. Bohnman there are only two
kinds of roads that can be built in the
Imperial valley owing to the climatic
conditions, they are asphalt and cement.
The former costs $4,000 per mile, last
seven years and costs $1,000 per year
to maintain. The cement road costs
$4,000 to build lasts 80 years and the
maintenance is 800 a year
In explaining the difference between
Warrenite and Topeka, he said, "Tope-
ka equals stone IL inch to nothing.
Warrenite equals stone one inch to
nothing, that is the stone that goes in
to make up Warrenite is just twice as
large as which makes Topeka. The diff
ference is the royalty that is demanded
on Warrenite."
Mr.. Bohnman read reports given
out by Frederick Stuart Green, high
way commissioner of the state. of New
York. telling of the tests made with ce-
ment and asphalt pavement, in which
the former showed a three to one ad-
vantage of the asphalt work.

Piney of New York was with him in the car. They were on a pleasure drive, were in no hurry, and he did not drive at speed. No cars were passed on the trip from Watch Hill, but was passed by other cars. Going up the grade it was noted that the ma chine was going up the hill at six miles an hour and termed this good demon- stration of the car. Any speed attained was not by the application of gasoline, as the machine was 'coasting towards the curve. Passed a car parked on the right of the road. First noticed the Fields car in the road soon after passing this other car. When view was taken uf the scene Friday morning MT. Davis testified the location Of the Fields car. '>"'otnd out was not the same as at time of acci- dent.
 The day after the fatality measure ments were taken by the coroner, the medical examiner and the witness. From rear wheel of Fields car to sidewalk was 12 feet and to gutter eight feet. AS coasting down the grade towards the scene of the accident the car was going at 12 miles an hour. Mir.

The right hand wheels of his car were close to the sidewalk as he passed the Fields car. Before passing he blew the horn and applied the brakes. As he neared the Fields car Mir. Bush took Mrs. Bush by the hand and started for the sidewalk. MT Bush let go of his wife's hand a sshe pulled away from him, and she fell in front of the machine. MT. Bush went over Mrs. Bush the speed was fur ther reduced and brought to a quick stop by the witness. He did all he could to avert the accident.
 Lester NJ. Piney, associated in business in New York with MT. Davis, and who was in the car with him at the time of the accident, testified that they were on a pleasure ride and that they were in no hurry to get anywhere. He said the au- tomobile went up the grade at six and eight miles an hour on high. When at the top of the grade no gasoline was ap- piled and the speed of the car was not | increased.
 Cross-uuestioned by MT. Agard. the witness stated he did not see the Fields l car until he was within 50 feet of the same. MT. Davis applied the brakes and could not stop the car. The rear of the car when stopped was within 21 feet of the body of Mrs. Bush.
 Police Chief Brown, recalled and ques- toned by MT. Hewitt, testified that he was present when the measurements were taken. The Fields car stood eight feet from the edge of the tarvia and it was 21 feet distant where the Davis car stopped. MT. Davis indicated the position of MT. Fields car.
 Policeman Henry Chase testified he was present when the measurements were taken and corroborsted the other witness es in regard to the distance in regard to the location of the Fields car.
