TO RAISE RACE TRACK

Weston and Anderson. engineers. have
laid lines at the southern turn Of the
Wawaset Park race track, preparatory TO
the raising of the track three and one
half feet The purpose of the improves
ment is to reduce to a minimum the pos
sibility Of accidents on the tracks. Sew
eral times last season collisions occurred
at the turn between race horses, entered
in the matinee events, and that none OF
the drivers were injured is remarkable
The raising Of the track, however, will
eliminate much of the danger Of collisions
at the point.
The work viii be finished before the ar.

 Hopes and expectations were high nearly a quarter of a century ago when the narrow gauge rail- road construction was commenced. The line was 10 connect Tucson and Globe. The county aided the project by issuing $150,000 worth of three-per cent bonds. The pro. motors built 10 miles of railroad, ran a special train over this DOT tion of the road and then ceased their work. They had the bonds and Pima county had but portion of the road. The county protested legally against paying the bonds, claiming they were invalid, but af- ter all the years, the final decision has come that the county must make good the amount of the bonds together with all the interest.
