GOVERNMENT TO
BUILD EMERGENCY
ROAD IN LAGUNAS

Actual construction of a motor
way leading from the Laguna
mountains to La Posta, on the I'm
perial valley-San Diego highway,
has been started, according to a
communication which has been
sent to the El Centro Chamber of
Commerce by L. H. Anderson, for
est supervisor of the Cleveland Ma
;ional Forest. This information will
be of particular interest to the
many Imperial Valley owners Of
vacation cottages in the Laguna
area for. while the motorway will
not be used for general travel at
the present time, it will serve as an
outlet for vacationists in case OF
fire, a matter which. has caused
some concern to those who realize
that at the present time there is
but one road leading into the. La
gunaS.
The motorway will start at the
Morris ranch, better known as
Snowflake rarch,' in the Laguna
mountains, and pass through Thing
valley, joining the San Diego high
way at La Posta, between Live Oaks
and Buckman Springs. This road
will be about II miles long, approx
mately the same distance as the
present Laguna Junction-Laguna
road and its use would eliminate
about IA miles beyond La Posta
which must be travelled at the pres

junction.
A motorway is a narrow road. not
necessarily smoothed for general
travel, used purely as an emergency
route by forest rangers and in case
of fire. Anderson states that for
the present it will not be suitable
for public travel, but the FL Centre
Chamber of Commerce believes that
when once established funds will
become available to widen this road
and that eventually it will develop
into a graveled. improved highway

guna mountains some Is miles. en-
abling cars from El Centro TO reach
that destination in two hours or
less.
The local chamoer has been
working for many months in an at
tempt to get such motorway es-
tablished as any step toward a
shorter route to the Lagunas is i'm
portant to the many persons now
owning summer homes in these
mile-high mountains to the west
and it is believed that many more
would spend their vacations in that
attractive area were the distance
from Imperial Valley even a few
miles shorter.

CLEANUP FOR 81
!. FETE PLANNED

Assurance was given Arthur
Orr, president Of the Arlington
Bicentennial Council, that weeds
and rubish on vacant lots about
the county would be cleaned up
prior to the time Of the cele-
hration. with the passage of an
ordinance by the county board Of
supervisors making the failure to
clean such lots a misdemeanor.
The ordinance was drawn up
by COmmOnweaIth's Attorney W.
C. Cloth after an investigation
had been made in other cities
with respect to similar ordinances.
Under the new law, which will
be sent to Judge Walter T. Nc
Carthy, Of the Arlington Curcuit
Court, for his signature at once,
the county health department
and the directing engineers Of
flee have authority to warn lot
owners that they are violating
the law by permitting the growth
Of weeds or dumping of rubbish.
Failure to heed the warning
will result in prosecutions in the
county police court, where a fine
Of not less than IS and not more
than $50 is prescribed in the
ordinance.

BALTIMORE, Md, Aug. IT,
Further progress on the Chesa-
peake Bay bridge project must
await the ruling of the War De-
partment on type of span to be
approved. according to Howard
Bruce, chairman, of the Chesa-
peake Bay Crossing Commission.
Explaining the present status
of the matter, Mr.. Bruce said:
1--WE have been trying to find
out just what kind or kinds Of
bridge the War Department would
let US build, but all the key men
are away on vacation. We hope
to get a ruling, however, within
a few weeks"
No bridge can be thrown across
the bay at any point. unless it's
design meets War Department
approval.
Whether the bridge will be a
high level bridge, with no draws,
or a draw bridge remains unde-
cided.
The Chesapeake Bay Bridge
Company, a private organization
which has turned over it's engi-
neer's records to the commission,
had considered building the bridge
from the tip of Millers Island,
near Bay Shore, to a point near
Rochester. Private financing
proved unfeasible. 49,

F[|ER'S CHUTE

just a matter of form to Capt.
Hugh M. Elmendorf, who has
been designated as liaison Off
Ger in charge Of Army flying at
the 1881 National Air Races in
Cleveland, August % to Septem-
ber 7.
Long before he won recOgnI-
ton as an outstanding flier by
leading formations while in com.
mand Of the Ninety-fifth Pursuit
Squadron at Rockwell Field, San
Diego. Calf, Captain EImendOrf
was in a crash which left him
with several smashed verterbrae
in his spine.~
Army surgeons have told Cap
tain Elmendorf that a slight jar
would be sufficient to break the
injured bone again and snap the
spinal cord, causing certain
death. A parachute jump, he is
told. would be more than suffi-
cient to cause his death. But
the captain still flies and wears
a chute because the regulations
require it.

lessened.

LAW,
HOME PER|LED

A policeman's effort to enforce
the law in the town of Mt. Rainier
may result in the loss of his home
unless a foreclosure sale on the
dwelling can be held up, it was
indicted today.
Francis E. Draley is. the police
man and efforts are being made
by his attorney, Bird H. Dolby, to
stop sale proceedings against the
mans home.
According to his lawyer, Draley
recently warned employees of .
laundry that they were violating
. town ordinance by operating
after 8 O'Clock at night. Belief
was expressed that a grudge held
against the policeman by an Off
ciaI of the laundry was responsible
for the foreclosure action on his
home.
Robert E. Funkhouser, holder Of
the second mortgage on the police
mans home, is instituting the &C.
ton. Funkhouser, an official Of
the laundry company, is repre-
sented by T. Howard Duckett,
Prince Georges county attorney.
An ordinance requiring all in
dustrial houses to close after 8 p.
m. is on the town books at the
present time. An effort to have it
repealed has been made by Mr..
Funkhouser. No action has yet
been taken on it by the mayor and
