Annual Chino Ride Concessions To Be Operated by Casa Colina Group Believes Benefits Might Aid in Growth (Special Staff Correspondence) RIALTO, April 3 Rialto city council may take a stand in favor of the controversial projected west-end truck route. The mayor of San Bernardino has voiced his objections to the plan of the board of supervisors, asserting that the route would be "harmful to the growth and prosperity of both San Bernardino and neighboring communities." But in an informal discussion of the matter last night, Rialto's councilmen were of a different opinion that the city might receive more aid than harm from the truck route. Councilman Ray R. McCombs noted that "all the truck route will do is take the traffic off Foothill boulevard sooner than at present. RELIEVE CONGESTION "I think the truck route will be a definite asset to Rialto by taking away traffic that does us no good.

Most of this traffic spends no money in this city," Councilman McCombs asserted. It was also contended" that the truck route would only relieve congestion on Foothill boulevard and not remove the bulk of the traffic. Although basically agreeing with Councilman McCombs, Coun cilman Marvin A. Larson urged that "we give the business people an opportunity to voice their opinions." Mayor R. N.

Buchwalter ordered the matter tabled until the next meeting on April 16, at which time the city council will probably take a stand.
