Drive To Improve Night
Lighting Of Vehicles

The State Highway police in this
section are making a special drive
to enforce the lighting of horse
drawn vehicles after dark. In some
sections of Piscataquis county re-
ports have come in that many teams
are out without being lighted in any
manner. And in some instances
they will have only a lantern which
is placed in the bottom of the car
riage, and which can only be seen
when a motor vehicle is directly OPP
posite them. Another bad feature
of night driving is the motorist who
neglects to have his lights fixed so
that %they will not blind the other
fellow. This matter is being given
special attention by the officers, and
it is expected that if that light
question is not improved a lot in
the near future, the courts in this To-
cality will have several busy ses-
siOns.

Railroads Plan
Big Projects
For Southland

by United Press Leased Wire
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 81
That southern California is
standing on the threshold of
greater prosperity than she has
ever known, was indicated by
the announcement today of two
great new railroad projects and
the definite establishment of q
great basic industry in this ter
ritory.
Officials of the Southern Pa
cific announced here today
that the program for new con-
struction will include new
line in the Imperial Valley, PIT
miles long, eXterding from Cal
ipatria to a point near Holt
vile, and extensive double
tracking at strategic points.
A new Santa Fe project was
apparently assured today by
definite announcement of plans
to erect $7,500,000 steel plant
between Lorg Beach and San
Pedro.
The Pacific Coke and Coal
company is counting on the
Santa Fe to supply the missing
link in their chain of produc-
tion by constructing an exten-
sion Of it's lines irto the coal
fields of the San Juan basin in
New Mexico.
This new line would make
tributary to Southern Califor-
mia an area as large as the New
England states, it is said.
