E| Centrans Divided Sharply Over
Desirabi|ity Of Underpass Project,
Cross.Section Survey Indicates

Sharply diverging opinions over
the proposed Main street underpaSS
in Ell Centro were shown Thursday
in a brief cross section of sentiment.
Ell Centro representatives will ap-
pear before the state highway
commission Friday in Riverside to
urge the project as one which
should not require the expenditure
of city funds.
Chester Irving. businessman, took
the stand:
THE money Ell Centre would
have to pay for property damages
and rights of way should be used
for other, more important things.
If the state wants to put in the
underpass at its own expense, that
is fine; but the city doesn't need
il that badly
O. F.. Haun, businessman, was
on the other side of the fence
with:
Il look at the problem in this
way. Eventually. we will have to
put in an underpass. We have to
do it sooner or later and it is best
to do 1t now when most of the cost
will be carried by state and fed
eral agencies, rather than wait un-
