Automobile Club Aids
Tourists During Rains

The recent heavy rains in eastern
Arizona and western New Mexico
caused the Gila river to rise and rem
dered the Gillespie dam crossing Of
that stream, SIS miles west of Phoe-
nix on the road to Yuma, to become
dangerous.
The Automobile Club of Arizona was
besieged by automobile travellers seek
ing authentic information as to the
crossing, III different parties re-
ceived advice that the passage was
the club office not being openy bulle
tins were posted for the motoring
public's benefit.
The state highway department sent
men and trucks to the Gillespie dam
when the Gila began to show symp-
toms of reaching flood stage, to aid
the travellers in crossing and to pre-
vent their using the ford if conditions
required such measures.
The Automobile club routed traffic
via Ehrenburg and Blythe to Pacific
coast points, many going by the White
Spar road to Ashfork and then west
over the National Oil Trails highway
longer route Manager Treadwell
says that such floods in the Gila river
have shown that the 16OO-foot bridge
now under construction Nwas badly
needed. One motorist drove off the
concrete floor of the spillway and
lost his life during this rise, this be-
ing the first fatality at this point.

The bridge is a single 4o0-foot spa.i

single span bridges in the west.
I'm addition to relocating the main
line through the city, the railroad
has built five miles et second main

plementing this trackage, the COM
