GOOD ROADS
BOOSTERS BACK

George H. Mehring and j. NJ.
Wagner, good-roads boosters from
the Bard district in the east end of
the county. returned Monday from
a meeting in Blythe at which a
connecting road between Blythe and
the east end of the county was con-
sidered.
Both delegates were enthusiastic
at the results of the meeting at
which more than 80 Blythe resi-
dents voiced their willingness to
cooperate in any program that
would insure a route connecting the
paved road at Palo Verde with the
present road to Imperial dam via
Picacho.
The delegates reported that
Blythe residents desire a route down
the river as far as Picacho as the
first unit of the proposed road with
the idea in mind of obtaining gov
ernment aid for a completion of the
route from Pichaco to the U. S.
Geological guaging station five miles
up the river from Imperial dam,
and thence south to the end of the
present road at the dam.
Much correspondence has been
engaged in between the Bard boost
ers and the several departments of
the government effected, with the
results they feel justified in their
belief that the difficulties in OBJ
tanning funds with which to COM
plete the lower end Of the proposed
route will be overcome.
