ing yesterday of representatives Of
the California Development Associa

crn California and the Los Angeles
Chamber of Commerce, held in Los
Angeles. The meeting was called
IN accordance with wish to enable
those in Southern California who are
interested in state and county high
ways to consider bills proposed at
the first session of the legislature
affecting the highway situation in
Southern California. Wittcr was
asked to represent the Associated
Chambers of Commerce of Imperial
county at the meeting.
He states that during the session
the difficulties which might be CON
sidered in connection with the inclu-
sion of the CaleXico-El Centre and
Brawley- INLAND roads in the state
highway system, were discussed and
objections were considered, with the
result that an agreement was reach
ed by the various representatives
and the Imperial Valley road qucs-
tion talked over with great harmony.
The Los Angeles Chamber of
Commerce went on record unani-
mously as approving the inclusion of
the two Imperial Valley roads by
the state in its secondary system
and Witter believes that the pros.
pcct of getting the roads included
by the legislature is very bright,
These same roads were endorsed at
meeting of the highway committee

citation a week ago, and their in
clusion in the state system has also
