Highway Commissioner Ehrhart
is very well pleased with the final
of road funds and
says that with this more than a
million dollars available, which in
Guiding that portion to be provided
by the various counties receiving
state aid, means that the roads in
Colorado will be put in very fair con-
ditiOn during the present year. OF
course more money is needed to COM
plete the work. but the money now in
sight will do much to start the work
off in first class shape.
Other funds will be coming into
the road fund during the next II
months that also will be used for
road work that will be under way
Immediately.
