point that seems 10 be about equ.-
distant between this city and the
Old Pueblo. and it was uncertain
whether IL was within the Bisbee or
The Tucson district Further, it was
not determined whether il was In
Cochise or Santa Cruz county, being
close TO the border in either event
Some disturbing rumors ana re
ports 10 the effect that 'nesters
were fencing in roads that go TO
make up the BOrderland route
through the section west of this city

matter rest with a mere inyestisa-

TO save tho roads. TO preserve the
Borderland route as il has been laid

IL is now some time since reports
were brought TO Bisbee that the road
between here and Tucson was being
!, but il was thought To be in Santa
Cruz county. This is the route select
ed for the state highway. and the
attention of State Engineer Cobb was
called to it. This was before the
/ bill providing for the continuance of
state road building passed.
Trouble Nearer Home
Recently il was learned from some
of those who went TO the Fort be
| fore and after the Fourth of July
celebration 10 bring over visitors for
| that occasion, that there was fenc-
| Ing going on nearer home. IL was
said that the section OF the road
being fenced had not been surveyed
and filed as a county road This
matter was brought TO the attention
of the Commercial Hub. and the sec
Rotary was instructed TO take the
matter up When he saw Supervisor
Gus Hickey relative TO this fencing,
which was in the vicinity OF Huachu-
ca, he learned the supervisors were
already informed of il, that they
found the road was surveyed, plated
and filed, and that action would be
taken TO have il opened. Supervisor
Hickey was on the job. and there
was nothing he could be told about
the matter, 70 he had posted himself
and would bring il before the board.
Relative to the other fencing that
was referred TO, another letter has
been sent to the state engineer. this
time by the secretary OF the CONNER
cial club. calling his attention TO
, the immediate need OF filing the
! route for the state highway. The
3 fencing would force the road from
the present course through the low.
, land up to the side of wash. where
IbOulders and stones make the going
. Very bad.
