PageThree HE Q.YJLN A US Covina, California, December 14, 1934 Mountain Road Construction to Commence Soon Two important motorway construction projects, which when completed will add to the county's facilities for fighting forest fires in the foothills adjacent to San Dimas and Glendora, have just been approved by the works division of the Los Angeles county relief administration. One project in the hills north of Glendora will provide part-time employment for 442 men. They will construct four miles of new truck trail and complete two miles of partially finished truck trail between the San Gabriel canyon road, north of Azusa, and the Glendora mountain road, north of Glendora. This motorway will be twelve feet wide and will constitute an important block to the spread of forest fires and lessen the difficulty of getting fire fighting equipment into the danger zone. The second project is described as the Wildwood motorway.

This route is three-quarters of a mile in length. It will traverse a ridge and connect with the existing San Dimas fire truck trail and with the road on the Bluebird ranch, which in turn connects with Foothill boulevard. This motorway will add to the ease of fire equipment into the hills. Two hundred and twenty-two men will be employed on this job. The cost of the first project is estimated at the second at $24,325.

The personnel on these two projects will be taken from among workers who have recently been laid off due to completion of other projects. TEN YEARS AGO Mr. and Mrs. J. C.

Water Levels Up in San Gabriel Valley Water levels have advanced substantially in the San Gabriel valley since the recent heavy rains, according to measurements recently taken by hydrographic engineers of the county flood control district. Raise of 21'feet was reported for the upper San Gabriel basin, between the canyon mouth and the Pacific Electric railroad line. This was due somewhat to artificial spreading, engineers explained.

In the main San Gabriel valley basin a rise of feet was noted in the basin's key well at Baldwin Park. This gives the average for the entire basin, it was explained. For the coastal bfisin, below Whit- harrows, the well near Ficx shows 'a rise of two feet. This basil not as large as the main San Ga- Driel. valley basin, but is a feeder reservoir for the lower coastal plain, lOMMUNITY FESTIVAL TO BE HELD AT PUENTE Directors the Puente chamber of commerce at their meeting last week took action looking toward a community festival, fiesta or pageant to be presented some time dur- ng the next few months.
