The new artery would aim afford a short cut for residents of Ocean Park and Venice wishing to go to Los Angeles over Pico boulevard, aad eliminate much of tto traffic now carried by strictly residential streets lying between Pico and Ocean Park boulevards. Portion Dedicated A portion ot tto land needed for tto extension bas already been dedicated, Hazelton informed the council, and Mrs. Katherlne Melloy, who owns UM rest, has expressed willingness to give another 40-foot strip, making the new street 80 feet wide, If she O assured that this will not result ia any assessment against her property.

Bus Line Has Funds Tte hm line, Commissioner Frank | A. Helton pointed out, has funds on hand fee tto construction of a large garage and repair shop, replacing rented quarters now occupied at Pico and e-m*mtm boulevards. At present, one bus has to be toft standing outside overnight because there is no space for it inside tte building, to pointed ont. In order to build Uie bus garage and provide facilities for the storage of 20,000 gallons of gasoline it will be necessary to tear down tto old wooden barn now housing the trucks operated by the city sanitation service. The humane department, la tun, occupies property which adjoins this barn. Property Available The Santa Monica Bay Humane society owns certain property on Eighteenth atreet which can be used for a new pound, but the commissioners would much prefer to bave tto money from this property applied to tto construction of new I and more sanitary quarters on tend which tto SOg could furnish at tto corporation yard.

Clarence F. Lea (dem.), California, said he personally would rather see the wine clause eliminated, but thought it Of so little consequence he would not propose an amendment. Lea Haa BUI Pending "I think It probably would be a little easier to get a genuine wine bill through," he said, "lf there were no mention of wine in the beer bill, but on the other hand its removal might delay the final enactment of the beer measure."

Pico Boulevard
Link Proposed
Artery Expected to Take
More Visitors Toward
Ocean Park Amusement
Center and Beach Sand
Plans for linking Clover
.Field and the Ocean Park
^amusement zone to Pico
boulevard at Centinela avenue
were presented to Santa Monica city commissioners today by Edward Hazelton of 2560 South Amherst avenue.
Would Divert Traffic
Hazelton pointed out ta the council that Gateway boulevard, starting
- at Pico boulevard at Colby avenue
in Weat Loe Angeles, could easily be
extended to connect with Ocean
Park boulevard, thus diverting a
gleet volume ot traffic south to tbe
air port and the municipal golf
course, and from there on to the
heart at Om amusement center.
The new artery would aim afford
a short cut for residents of Ocean
Park and Venice wishing to go to
Los Angeles over Pico boulevard, aad
eliminate much of tto traffic now
carried by strictly residential streets
lying between Pico and Ocean Park
