YUMA ROAD HELP
Hubbell of Calexico Is
Valley Representative
At Roads Meet
Nv Press staff Correspondent

CALEXICO, Feb. 2.-F. A, Hub
bell, secretary of the Calexico Cham
Der OF Commerce, who attended the
good roads meeting at Los Angeles
Wednesday afternoon, reports that
the Los Angeles Chamber of Com
mercc is heartily in favor OF the
completion of the FL Centre to Yuma
road first, deeming this the most i'm
portant connecting link with any
transcontinental route.
1t developed that the meeting was
favorable to quick action in the
matter of completing the three trunk
lines in Southern California, namely,
the Blythe, Needles and Yuma roads,
and of these three the Los Angeles
Chamber of Commerce some days
ago passed resolution specifically
stating that the first road to be
completed and the most important,
is that from FL Centre to Yuma,
which connects with the paved and
unpaved roads being built BY the
state Of Arizona.
Mr.. Hubbell was the only Imperial
Valley representative present. aad
his presentation of opinion favored
the completion OF not only the FL
Centre to Yuma road, but the I'M
perial Valley road to Los Angeles,
us well, particularly calling atten-
ton 10 the need of completion OF the
two links at Rrawley and WeStmor-
land.
The meeting went on record as
favoring the construction of roads
by the states and counties, but that
the upkeep costs should be covered
by a gas tax, and that trucks should
pay in addition special tax.
II was shown that there are about
200 cars u day crossing from Ari-
coma into California at the three
Southern California ports. Of these,
about 240 crossed al Needles and
about 100 each at Yuma and Blythe.
A second meeting, including one
representative from each county in
Southern California, has been called
to meet in Los Angeles next week,
when recommendations to be sub
mitted to the state authorities will
be drawn up.

Lettuce Men In Session to Aid Market
COLORADO COMPACT GOES TO GOVERNOR
QUICK ACTION URGED
IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS:

IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS:
Shippers Of lettuce will have the same dsas.
trous results experienced in the cantaloupe deal
of last season if they continue to ship lettuce or
poor quality and small sizes. The trade will not
take this small lettuce at any price and as re-
suit our tracks are simply damned with cars
containing undesirable sizes and poor quality
lettuce With lettuce Of this kind in heavy
supply it is impossible to realize good results for
fancy stock.
The ordinary lettuce is selling at $3.50 to 81
and is a very slow seller at these figures. AS
matter Of fact this is the biggest obstacle pos
sble, stopping and holding prices down on des-
irabe lettuce.
Unless shippers of Imperial Valley get to-
gether and load desirable sizes and quality the
lettuce deal will be failure.
Normal consumption will figure five cars
daily, and this would increase considerably with
continued good quality offered.
We have also demand from all nearby points
when in position to offer proper sizes.
Total number of cars now on track AZ with
fully two thirds poor quality, undesirable sizes
with no demand.
You can readily understand if shippers and
growers do not act quickly or some understand
growers do not act quickly or come to some un-
derstanding on improving the pack, the lettuce
deal will continue demoHaliEed condition here
and in all other markets.
