The copper era and Morenci leader., 1914-02-27

Also, MeSSrS. Tun1S ana Hampton consulted with the Company officials in regard to plans for the proposed construction of streets in the town of Morenci, these streets to be later con nected with the Clifton-Morenci road proper. The full appreciation of the Company was given in the routes of the streets proposed, and the offer was made to freely donate to the county the right of way for the streets The route for this improvement has been surveyed. The street, which will be the very first in Morenci's history, will begin at the foot of the main plaza, near the general offices of the Detroit Copper company, passing in the front of the H. s. Van Gorder residence, thence which will be included into the and then to the hospital of the Ari- zona Copper company, at which point the street will end.
 Through such an improvement, many residents of Morenci will be
 
 horses and vehicles, which will thus enable them to enjoy the entire road system of the county. From the main street many laterals could be run, thereby reaching many other sections of the town. That such an improvement would greatly increase the inter-communication between Mo- renci and other towns of the county goes without saying. Contemplated construction includes the widening, grading, and drainage of Burro Alley.
 Engineer Tunis, with assistants, a for the purpose of grading and drain ing the principal street of Newtown. This surveyed route follows through out the main portion of Newtown. and is expected to greatly improve the sanitation of the community, ing. The growth and consequent ex- pansion of the limits of Morenci is causing many of the workmen con- nected with the enterprises of the town. to build homes in the Newtown section, at present many new houses being in evidence. This construction, which has been approved by the coun- tvs supervisors, vii be directly under the supervision of Road Superintend ent Await, who will soon begin oper- ations with number of men.
 State Engineer Change Plans
 fhc hn ment has been made that the state would soon begin the building of a highway three miles in length which would begin at the southern limits of Clifton, and extend to point beyond the new smelter of the Arizona Cop per company, but as yet the Super visors have not been given by the en- gineers of the state engineers office any record of plans and routes, it be- ing stated that the engineers are yet undecided in this respect, and that changes are now being made in the route. Engineers Barlow and Ten Ecyke, of the office of State En- gineer Cobb, are now engaged with assistants in the surveying of the route, and it is understood that cer- tain changes as yet not announced will be made from the original con- templated plans. Upon the submit tance to the Supervisors of the final routes, plans of construction, etc., a call for bids for the roads construc- tion will be announced by the Board.
 The completion of the Metcalf ex- tension of the new Clifton-Metcalf road is now matter of only a few the Board of Supervisors having approved the surveys which are completed by Engineer Tunis, and being expected to issue, at their meeting next Monday, a call for bids for the construction The route sur veyed, and which will be followed, leaves the present lately completed road and passes behind the hills near the Metcalf dairy, crosses the tracks of the Coronado railway at a point near the Queen ore bins, and from thence follows parallel, with the Coro- nado railway, on the west side, into the town of Metcalf, ending at a point just opposite the towns new public school building. The construction on this extension is. expected to require probably three months. The class of construction to be demanded of those who build this road willlbe much better than was followed in the DOT tion now completed.
