that offenders brought into this

such stage that it is positively
dangerous for pedestrians crossing
at these places, and unless halt

ROAD BUILDER
ASSURED AID in
HIGHWAY ORK
Chamber of Commerce
Meets DR.. Johnson and
Hears Good Talk

At the conclusion of his excellent
address at the Chamber of Com
merce dinner yesterday evening at
6 o clock at Hotel Barbara Worth.
DIR. S. NJ. johnson, head of the Lee
Highway association, was assured
that the people Of this valley are
heartily in accord with his program
and he was promised every assist
ance.
Before you actually can build n
road, or anything else for that
matter, you have first got to build
it in the minds of the people, DR..
Johnson explained, and the purpose
Of his first visit in the southwest
is to build the Lee highway in the
minds of the people out here. He
has also been comforting with COVER
nors Of the western states relative
to support of ad-building pro-
gram in the next congress.
Non-Political!
An interesting incident, occurring
yesterday at San Diego, where DIR.
johnson spoke in the interest of the
highway, was related by him here.
Z. 8. Grant Jr., son Of the com
mander' of the Union army during
the civil war, and Jefferson Davis,
descendant of the Confederate
president, enrolled as members Of
the highway association which is
named after Robert f. Lee.
The Lee highway is shorter by 300
miles than any other transcontin-
entail road, DR.. Johnson said. The
road extends from New York to
Washington, through the southern
portion of the country TO San Di-
ego, thence along the coast to San
Francisco. Every mile Of the high
way, he said, is included in the
"seven percent = system which the
federal and state governments are
working jointly to complete. With
more than 900 miles of the high
way within it's borders California,
he said, had only nine miles more
to construct and the state is pledged
to complete this stretch soon.
Monument in 8. d.
The speaker told Of arrangements
made for the erection of q. hand
some monument in San Diego as
the Pacific milestone on the high
way, a duplicate Of the milestone
that marks the Washington termi-
nal. The Washington monument
is of North Carolina granite and,
unless present plans fail, the Pa
eific milestone will be marble from
the Verruga quarry in San Diego
county. tst .rft
cdr. johnson said that on June
the Lee Highway associations would
present the Washington milestone
to the government and its dedica.
tion by President Harding would
be feature of the Shrinef's con-
'vention. On that occasion, accord.
ing to program, an automobile cara
van from California, augmented by
ears from most Of the other Shrincr
temples Of the country, will be as.
sembled in Washington. 1t is ex-
pected that $4,000 automobiles will
take part in the dedicatory pro-
gram. DR.. Johnson expressed the
hope that San Diego's monument
could he dedicated at the same time.
