GRAND JUNCTION SPENDS S1OO Per CAPITA DURING
LAST YEAR; GETS WRlTE-UP IN MUNICIPAL JOURNAL

Grand Junction is attracting the
attention of investors, students OF
municipal improvements and engi-
neers on account of the heavy ex-
penditure for Improvements made
here during the year 1911. The year
broke all records for this city in the
amount spent, as well as for any city
of its size for the same length OF time
in the United States.
An extended article in the
Municipal Journal and Engineering,
the largest magazine of its kind. of
the December issue, illustrated the
Interest that is being shown. The
article was accompanied by a picture
of the paving operations, and is as
follows:
Grand Junction, Colo. - With a
population of $500, Grand Junction
has spent S75O,00O in one year fer
public improvements and is pleased
with the results. The city is situa-
ted in a rich fruit country, has a sub
urban population greater than that
within its corporation limits, and is
growing rapidly. Two years ago the
Commission government was adopted,
under a charter prohibiting the con-
struction of public work by contract.
Hence all of the Improvements have
been done by the direct employment
of day labor under the supervision
of Mayor Todd and the commission
ers. 81
The illustration shows the paving
operations which have cost $780,
600. The paving is OF cement, the
,,,ixino or hainp 1pneA Inv an uD-fp-lat q

$4,000 which is $1,000 less than
the amount of bonds authorized for
this purpose.
