 This week John c. Potts and w. K. Ridenour visited the road recently surveyed by the state engineering corps and are getting things in shape to let a contract covering the work Estimates are being made and as soon as possible the work from Topock east will be commenced. With the expen- diture of the money now in the state treasury to the credit of Mohave coun- ty it is expected that money from the bond issue will be available to con- plete the road. Every effort will be made to put the roads of Mohave county in such shape that moderate will hereafter keep them in repair. The state engineers came to kingmau Monday last after con- pleting the survey, and one will re- main to superintend the work of grad Ing the road and providing the neces. sary drainage. As the matter of drain age has never been looked after in the building of roads in this county we hope that this will be one of the i'm portant things to be looked after in the building of this piece of national highway. The greater part of the work of road building at the Topock bridge will probably be cared for by the railroad company, as it will have to go over the yards at that place.
