Governor Mills Inspects Scenic High
way.
Governor Mills enjoye his trip up
the Scenic Highway on Saturday, with
Territorial Engineer Vernon L. Sulli-
van, very much and stood the twenty
miles horseback trip like a veteran.
Governor Mills thinks the scenery
disclosed by the road superb and will
make every effort to have the Good
Roads Commission complete the high
way as planned as soon as the work on
La Bajada hill is completed and the
road from Santa Fe over Apache and
Tecolote hills into Las Vegas has been
placed in traversable condition AL
though constructed six years ago, the
switchbacks over the Dalton divide
are still in fine shape even though
neglected by the county authorities.
At two or three places, slight slides
have occurred but a man armed with
a shovel could clear the road in a
day and this should be done by the
county officials. These sWitchbacks
were constructed under the super
vision of Hon. H. O. Bursum, then
superintendent of the penitentiary.
