CARSON SURVEYS
PROPOSED SEWER

Commissioner Frank L. Carson
Yesterday began the survey for the
proposed sewer on Third street which
he hopes to contract in order to re-
lieye the overload on the business
district sewers as well as the line
up First street.
The sewer would run from the al
ley between Rood and White down
Third street to the alley between Ute
and Pitkin. II would empty into a
twelve-inch sewer and relieve to "A
great extent the burden on both dis
tricts | and .
Mr.. Carson is not entirely certain
what the expense will be nor wheth-
e: he will be able to raise the money
or not, but il is erving need in his
department and with the survey
completed he will have some basis
for estimates in his efforts to secure
the construction. A rough guess at
the cost is from 1900 to $4,000.
The expense will be largely due to
the fact that the excavation will
run through a stretch of paving on
Main and Third.

BOARD SQLL
OPPOSES LEVY

so long as the state high way com
mission controls the placing OF the
fuhds, the county comm sioners Will
not support the half-mill levy which
IS now being initiated for submission
this fall. This will be the substance
OF letter from County Attorney
Welsh to Secretary w H. Emmons
OF the Colorado Good Roads Associ-
alton today.
Under the proposed bill the COM
mission cannot apportion the money
to the various counties, but the sum
raised in each county must be ex-
pended there. but the commission
can, and proposes to designate the
Particular pieces of highway in the
county TO be repaired or constructed.
With an attitude of determined op-
position 20 the Midland Trail, the
commission certainly will never per-
nit any money to be spent on the
main road between the Garfield line
and the Utah line
West of Palisade to the Utah
boundary the road is In excellent
shape. and little work is needed be-
tween Cameo and Palisade, but be-
tween Cameo and De Beque through
Plateau canon the road needs Il
tremendous amount of repairs. This
will be done by the county COM
missioners unless they are hampered
and hindered by such regulations as
marked the last apportionment OF
state funds to this county.
