State ENGINEER
IS PLEASED WITH
DONA ANA ROADS
State Official Is Enthusiastic
Over Work That Has Been
Done in Vicinity Of Las
Cruces Trees to Be Planted


SPECIAL coRRHsPosnaseK noaHiHo jobEhAb
Las Cruces, N. NJ, Feb l7.--State
Engineer james a. French made Q
special trip to Las Cruces the end OF
last week, for the purpose Of going
over the system Of new roads that has
been constructed from the proceeds
Of the county bond issue In company
with w S. Gillian and Francis "a
Lester Of the Dona Ana county road
board. Mr. French made tour Of the
roads Of the southern part of the
county on Thursday last, and on Fri-
day he went over the system Of high
WAYS north from Las Cruces To the
Soldon dam. Mr. French expressed
himself as greatly surprised at the linz
proved road conditions IN the county
land with the large amount Of work
accomplished and now going on
An incident Of Mr. Frenchs Visit
was a discussion with the road board
In regard TO opening up the Canine
Real or main state highway at the
earliest possible date north from Las
Cruces 10 the Sierra county line. only
about three miles of road remain to
be constructed in order to have an
excellent hard surfaced highway for
the entire distance Of the Canine
Real in Dona Ana county. This three
miles OF road Is between Selden and
the top Of the mesa, and It is believed
/ that this will be completed at an early
date. Much Of the road north Of Las
| Cruces has been improved by reason
Tor the hearty cooperation Of the
United states reclamation service,
which In the past thirty days has
graded and Is now grayel-surfacing
q stretch Of several miles OF road be-
tween Leasburg and the Selden dam.
II was recently decided by the road
board to encourage the planting OF
trees along the main public highways
Of the county Attention is first being
given to the planting Of trees along
the Canine Real and $50 trees are
now being put out, under the direc-
ton Of Deputy f. G. Stopp Large
numbers Of trees will be planted on
the west side road, also on the Canine
Real in the vicinity Of Berino, IL is
the hope Of the Dona Ana county road
board TO have within the next three
or four years beautiful shade trees
lflourishing for the entire distance OF
ltwenty-four miles OF paved road be-
tween Las Cruces and the Texas state
line Muiberrios and cottonwoods are
the trees being mostly planted.
The road board has about reached
the decision TO purchase specially
equipped motor truck, for the pur-
pose of maintaining the gravel sur
faced roads of the county Careful I'M
vestigations have been conducted as
Ito the results accomplished in other
states, and II IS believed that a motor
truck or tractor equipped to haul botf
gravel and water Will prove TO be
the solution Of the problem of re-
pairing ana maintaining the grave
4 surfaced roads Large banks Of grave
are being hauled and deposited by thu
side of the road every four or iiv'
miles: this for maintenance and re
pair purposes.
