Study of Imperial Valleys tram
portation in preceding stories has
disclosed these pertinent facts:
Our conveyances for travel have
attained a high standard of mod
ernization.
Our road improvement lags far
behind.
Imperial Valley is huge food
factory with far flung units of
of production scattered along 1876
miles of roads.
The aggregate miles travelled
in business operations and work
total over 126,O0O,000 miles a year
This all within 25 miles of home,
nearly 100, 100000 miles being on
country roads other than the state
highway system.
Our school buses carry 675,872
pupils year over C total of 453, 1865
miles. Two-thirds of this mileage
is over country roads and one
third over state highways.
Our rural mail carriers travel
each year 129,473 miles and 31,994
over state highways. Three fourths
of their mileage on country roads
and one-fourth on state highways
Rains, which make country roads
impossible, seriously interrupt al
business, rural and urban; close
many of our schools; make delivery
of rural mail impossible; and af-
