PICTURED ABOVE CAN be NEEDED. seen a result last week that motorists had to tackle and brave D pedestrians had to walk through on Magna Main Street, rounding the cuive to 8400 West. This water, which had been running uncontrolled for five hours in this particular spot, is dangerous to all in many respects. FIRST It immediately presents a safety highway problem. As a motorist went through the lake, his car was literally sprayed himself, too, as he had the windows of his car open. One resident said the brakes of his car were so wet from the bath he couldnt get them to operate properly for some time. SECONDSuch large bodies of stagnant water present a heaven for mosquitoes particularly the type that carry encephalatis. THIRD-- A very unattractive appearance is presented at this spot, the entrance to the town, and other sites where a continued overflow of irrigation water is allowed to run. This particular hazard is caused so that 2 acres of land can be lm gated across the hignway. Officers Installed For DAV Units LOVELY MAGMA LADY MOTES 94th DATE , f K - . A ' sip' f w A.
