ASK MEXICO
FOR SUPPORT
Of HIGHWAY
Supervisor Preble Sends
Letter TO Governor
Magma

Support of Mexico in developing
the tri-nation route over Highway
No. SO, linking Canada, the United
States and Mexico, has been sought
by A. Y. Preble, chairman of the
Imperial county board of super
visors, who has sent the following
letter to Governor Gildardo Maya
ma, of the Northern District of Baja
California:
October 2, 1885.
His Excelency Governor Gildardo
Magma,
Governor of Baja California,
MeXicali, B. c.
Dear Governor Magma:
The board of supervisors of I'M
perial county is sponsoring a motor
cade which will leave Calexico on
October u and travel northward
over the proposed Highway U. S. SO
through the states of California,
Nevada, Idaho and Montana, to the
Canadian boundary line.
The purpose of this motorcade is
to organize all the cities, counties
| and communities on the route into
a -Four States Highway aSSocia-
ton" to promote construction or
completion of the route and to have
the designation, U. S. SO, extended
southwark from Glendale, Nevada,
| to the present southerly terminus
of the route.
All but 81 miles of the road is
! now open to traffic. Three-fourths
| of the entire route is hard surfaced
| and improved to a high construc-
ton standard. My purpose in ad-
dressing your eXcellency is to ask
you to send at least one auto
| mobile with a representative delega-
tion on this motorcade over this
four states international highway
While present activities have as
their objective the designation of
the southern end of this route as
U. S. SO and the completion of the
81 mile gap between inland and
Desert Center. it is obvious that
ultimately this must become an in
ternational highway and extend
through Mexicali, Baja California
ana cross the Colorado river and
join the International Pacific High
way at Hermosillo or some point in
Sonora. We ask you to send this
delegation to assist in this impor-
tant work of organization.
1t would be cf much qualification
to this writer if your eXcellency
himself would make this trip and
head the Baja California delegation
on this tour through the Four
States and to Canada over this most
interesting and scenic route.
Yours most obediently,
A. Y. PREBLE,
Chairman, Board of Supervisors.

State relief heads Were cneered to-
day by the assurance of Harry L.
Hopkins, works progress adminis-
traitor, that the public works pro-
gram would end the dole in Cali

it," Hopkins said shortly before he
