The county commissioners are con
sidering building a fine graded, srav-
elled road from La Sale to Ault, n
distance of nearly twenty miles, at a
cost of about $4,000. Only part of
this expense will be borne by Weld
county as the Great Western Sugar
Company has agreed to pay the cost
of every third mile OF graded and grav'
elled road which Weld county shall
build. The road from La Sale to Ault
is travelled more, probably, than any
other one road in the county. being
the chief thoroughfare to Cheyenne
for bicycles and autos as well as one
of the main roads in the country over
which farmers bring produce to
Greeley. Farmers who use the pres
ent road offered to donate men and
teams to help build the proposed high
way. II is understood that Bruce
Eaton has offered gravel to the conn-
ty without expenses. The commission
ers said that with the help of the
Great Western Sugar Company the
road would be built likely within the
coming year and after one main
thoroughfare has been established 1t
would be an easy matter to add branch
roads until Weld county highways
would be as desirable for travel as
Greeley's travelled streets and that the
expense in the long run would be little
greater than the cost of repairing
roads now from year to year. Good
bridges are being built throughout the
