to the Scenic Highway in the canon,
all sixteen and more feet wide and
substantially constructed so as to
drain the water. No timber is being
used for bridges but heavy pipes for
culverts, which are covered with rock
and sand, while at one place con-
crete bridge will be constructed. The
timber bridges at this end of the road
will all be replaced with iron pipe cul-
verts. If the season permits, connec-
