Correspondence of the Associated Press.
CULIACAN, Sfnaloa, Mexico, May
PA program Of road building which
will connect all important centerS with
a trunk line to traverse the state OF
Sinaloa has been agreed on at con-
ference that Gov. Vega held with the
mayors of many cities in the state.
The first unit will be connection of
Culiacan, an interior city with the sea-
board at Mazatlan, on the west coast,
a distance of $50 miles. Other units
will be built as rapidly as engineering
and financial resources are available.
The principal items Of cost in Sinaloa
road building are the numerous bridges
needed to span the many rivers trav-
ersing the coastel plains.
The program just announced by
Gov. Vega will harmonic with plans
being made in Mexico City by inf1uen-
tial men and in California and Arizona
by representative orga anizations, with a
view of connecting California, Mexico
City and Guadalajara with first
class automobile road. Such a high
way would open motor travel to po-
tentially rich, scenic and climatically
pleasant region. At present it is prac-
tically impossible to make the journey
from Nogales, AriZ., southwark
throughout the west coast, largely
because 1t is impossible to ford the
streams during the rainy season.
