Stop signs urged for Santa Ana river bridge safety
The Board of Supervisors and Captain Jay Boone opposed County Highway Commissioner J. W. Cole who urged stop signs at the Santa Ana river bridge entrances to curb speeding after three deaths in six weeks. Boone proposed increased patrols for thirty days to warn speedsters, while Cole pressed for the drastic public safety measure. Allen asks title companies to list water right reservations on deeds in San Bernardino county, aiming to tax underground rights tied to Riverside Water company, particularly affecting Victoria Farms subdivison. The move could set a California precedent and face likely disputes over taxing water rights held by non-owners, potentially reaching the state supreme court.
