Laguna Petitions
Get Many Names

Reports have come from the La
guna recreational area that the
number of signatures on the peti-
tions for the short ROAD to the La
guna mountains is extremely salts
factory.
These petitions were placed in
three of the Laguna stores two
weeks ago and at present there are
over 500 signatures attached. These
signatures are all of San Diego
people, many of whom own cabins
in the Laguna area and are desir-
Gus of seeing the short road to In
perial Valley made a reality be-
cause of the Importance such a
road would be in ease of fire. At
the present time there is only one
outlet III case of fire, and if that
road were cut off il would be i'm
possible to drive out of the Laguna
mountains.
Those in business in the Laguna
mountains are also desirous of get
ting the short route from the val
ley because OF the increase II would
make in both winter and summer
business and the number of tourists
who would undoubtedly use this road
cnroute TO San Diego.
The FL Centre Chamber of Com
merce, which was responsible for
placing the petitions in the Laguna
stores, is at present preparing two
additional petitions to be put in
resort centers, where il il hoped
that many San Diego visitors will
read them and add their signatures
to those already attached. The
chamber has urged the short route
to the Lagunas for the past year
and il is felt that, with the support
of the people of san Diego, the road
Will become an aetuality before the
next summer.
