MEXICANS WAKING UP
TO NECESSITY OF ROADS
SAN DIEGO, Cal., Sept 1 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Continuing his an
nounced policy of providing Lower
California as soon as possible with
a system of fine highways that will
compare favorably with those to be
found anywhere in the United States,
Governor Estazan Cantu of Lower
California, Mexico, is now engaged in
the construction of a new road from
Tijuana to Ensenada.
The new highway, it is stated, will
be sixty-two miles in length against
a distance of ninety miles that has
to be traveled between the two cities
over the present highway. This
shortening of the distance has been
accomplished by the elimination of
many of the round-about grades. The
type of road being constructed is the
same as the fine military highways
between Tiajuana an1 Mexicali, and
Mexicali and Ensenada.
Three forces of men, it is stated,
are now at work. One crew is work
ing south from Tiajuana,another north
from a point near Ensenada, and the
third crew is engaged about midway
between the two cities.
There will be a “boat dance” at j
Hegg’s hall tonight.
It's the flavor and the grain which
make the bread at the City Bakery
famous.
