Plans call for the present two-lane road to be widened to four lanes from a point nine-tenths of a mile west of the ·Main Gate through Ridgecrest to a point 1.4 miles east of the junction of China Lake and RidgEcrest boulevards on the Trona road. Kern county has agreed to con- tribute $20,000 for curb construction work, bringing the estimated. total cost of the project to $145.000. A request to widen China Lake Blvd. was presented in person last November by members of the High- way Improvement Committee of Ridgecrest. headed by AI Adams. Mr. Adams was accompanied. to the State Highway Commission meeting by John O. Richmond, for- mer community manager who rep- resented the Station Command; by Henry Newburgh, a member of the Community Council bOard of direc- tors, and Robert Thompson, who represented the Inyokern Chamber of Commerce. No word was available locally as to when the new construction work may be started, but it was estimated. that it may not be until the latter part of the year because of the possibility of doing road work here during the winter-a condition that does not prevail throughout all parts of the local highway district. which extends as far north as Bishop. Rain Flurries Hit - China Lake Area ffigh humidity accompanied by highly local1zed rain flurries Tues- day evening and Wednesday morn- ing was the report weatherwise at China Lake this week..
