GOOD CROSSING
NEAR REvUELTO

ing and Approaches a. Result Of
Labors OF Local Good Roads
Enthusiasts

The good road boosters who have
been investigating the proposition Of
road crossing over the Plaza Largo near
Revuelto east of Tucumcari, have al.
most completed the arrangements IL 10
said for the crossing. A subscription
list for signatures Of those who will do.
nate toward building the crossing, was
circulated this week in Tucumcari and
IL is said that between $3.50 and $500
was raised for the work. This with tho
half mill in part which probably will be
given by the county, will build the
crossing II is believed.
The work will bo done with rock from
the surrounding land, an approach fifty
feet long leading 70 the creek from
either side. The creek bed itself will
probably require bed Of one hundred
and afty feet, making total length Of
the crossing of over two hundred fee..
AZ the present time no concrete will
be used IL is thought as the cost would
De prohibitive. II - thought that q
good crossing can be made from the
rock alone but should this prove unsat.
