TO SHORTEN ROAD
TO PRESCOTT
81 MILES
Williams Boosters Are
To Fix up the Old
Stage Route.

That the people of Williams in
Coconino county are alive to the
necessity of good roads, and that
the spirit of that community Is on
the keen edge for making that city
inviting to auto tourists, was demon
strated in rather a forceful manner
last week. when the supervisors OF
that county made an appropriation
of $1,000 to carry out a certain line
of work in opening up the historic
old stage road from Williams to
Prescott.
This important information was
given publicity yesterday by the ar
rival IN this city OF Jake Caufmafl.
in his auto en- route to Phoenix. Ac-
cording to the plans outlined, Mr.
Caufman states that work begins
today on that chartered route. and
the the intention is to have the old
and yet new highway opened be-
tween this city and Williams inside
of the next sixty days. The old
stage road will be followed south
west of Williams, and will termin-
ate at Banghart's ranch in Chino
Valley. where the present county
road runs. The forestry service will
also assist, and with the combined
funds available a fine grade and one
OF the most attractive scenic drive
ways will be created.
In fact, as Mr. Caufman states,
Williams proposes to invade Yava-
pal county. and the old road OF the
days when the Atlantic and Pacific
was building through the north, Is
to be revived if men and money can
accomplish the task The distance
at present via Ash Fork is IS miles
but by the cutoff route decided
upon. it will be an even fifty miles
to Williams from Prescott Mr.
Caufman also states that at the
present time there are passing
through Williams nine autos every
day. all bound for the Grand Can
| yon.
