REVIVED INTEREST IN

Citizens Discussing The Project With Words ct
Praise For The Builders and Promoters

the idea OF Scenic Route, He talk
Cd about 4 for. years, and, to him
more than to any other single man
was due the movement that culminateo}
in the action Of the last legislature,
authorizing an appropriation
Then Of course the action Of the
strong body Of Las Vegas citizens, who
reinforced by Santa Fe people went up
TO the legislature and In a few hours
mad made an actuality what other
states talked about in great conven-
tions. but failed to secure legislation
on. comes in for great praise.
The persistent efforts OF Superin-
tendent r. II. Pierce, in, the building
Of the road, In bringing the matter to
the attention Of the Good Roads con-
yention, in securing the visit Of Mr..
Abbott, are warmly commended. Nor
is Engineer Stephen Powers. under,
whose careful and efficient supervi-
sion the Las Vegas end Of the road
was built, forgotten. To him, perhaps,
as much as to any other man, the
beautiful mountain highway will be
a lasting monument. Mr.. Powers is
now preparing an illustrated article
for the Good Roads magazine, which,
profusely illustrated. will AFFORD the
great body OF people interested In
road improvement with, probably. the
most complete treatment Of the sub
ject that has been afforded.
Much Of praise can. without doubt
be said for the builders and boomers
Of the Santa Fe end. but naturally La
Vegas people conflne their converse
tion for teh most part to the Las Vega
promoters.
