Highway Commission Demands
That $4,000 Be Expended Upon
Delta Road Aboue Whitewater

What the county commissioners re-
gard as. the latest slap at Mesa coun-
ty by the state highway commission
was received this morning when the
board was instructed by that body to
expend the entire amount of the
$4,000 appropriation, recently set
tied on this county between White
water and the Delta county line.
Moreover, the county must expend an
equal amount on the same road in
order to receive the original appro-
priation.
Chairman Ben j. Snyder read the
letter with extreme disgust. The
Delta road needs work and the COM
missioners are decidedly in favor OF
fixing it up in permanent fashion this
year" he said. but the idea of put
ting 1000 on that road is the height
of folly. With the road from Cameo
to De Beque almost impossible and
only minimum appropriation avail
able from the state at best, We are
told that we must put all that money
together with our own funds to an
equal amount on a stretch of high
way that can be put in boulevard con-
dition for $1,000 at the outside.
County Clerk Jones was equally ex-
asperated. why didn't they give us

Some delay was experienced in await

Must Trim all
Cotton-Bearing
Trees This Year

This will be the last year of cot
ton-bearipg trees in Grand Junction.
This is practically the ultimatum of
the city commissioners who propose
to stop the nuisance Immediately the
recently enacted tree ordinance be-
comes effective.
The ordinance will be in force af-
ter May 3. Notice will then be serv-
ed on all property owners to see that
cotton bearing trees on their premises
or in the parkings in front of their
premises must be trimmed.
AS soon as cotton begins to fly
orders will be issued to have the
trees trimmed or else the city will do
the work and charge it to the prop
erty. SAYS Commissioner Rankin.
A large number of trees were trim
med this spring by property owners
and the amount of cotton will prob
ably be materially reduced.
1t is matter of general satisfac-
tion to learn that the commissioners
propose to abate this annual nuis-
ance.

Is TO MOTOR
To MONTROSE

Twenty-Five or thirty local automo-
bilists will motor to Montrose next
Wednesday afternoon to meet with
the good roads people OF that town
and consider plans for work on the
Rainbow route between Grand juno
tion and Montrose.
Delta boosters will be picked up on
the way, and at o'clock feed will
be served to the visitors at X. OF p
hall in Montrose.
The result of the meeting will
probably be to decide on road day
at which men from all three cities
can get out and make whatever re-
pairs are necessary to keep tho road
in shape, thus cementing the Rain
bow route to the Midland Trail.
Not only is the road used a great
deal for local travel between the
cities, but it will be a tremendously
large feeder to the Midland Trail to-
ward the west. The Rainbow route
is splendid line. and many tourists
will undoubtedly use 1t this summer
and next.
Interest in the Montrose meeting
is intense, and Charles Quist and w.
d. Emerson are getting up list of
the people who will make the trip.
The start will be made from the
Chamber of Commerce offices on
Wednesday. May 6, ut l o'clock.

Mayors Meet May

Investigations

The mayors board concluded its
work yesterday with an inspection
Of the Main street bridge and ajourn-
ed TO meet May Z. On that date the
Patterson -Burghardt company will
be invited to discuss the bridge with
the board and County Engineer Fisk
will also be heard.
Just how much further the inves-
legations will go cannot be ascer-
tained now. Several OF the members
of the board appear to favor contin-
uinS the investigation for some time
while others feel that they cannot
dc further service to the commission
ara than TO receive the explanations
OF tho contractors and the county en-
gineer.
In Engineer Rombers's report it
should have been stated yesterday
that hs found one important member
in the superstructure which was
heavier than was specified. This
was used because in the judgment OF
the contractor the weight called for
in the plans was not sufficient to
bear the strain safely.

We might then cut down the Fifth
street hill. and do some work on the
other hill between here and White
water, but to spend $4,000 south OF
Whitewater to the Delta boundary
will practically be wasting more than
half the sum expended
This specific plan has upset all the
commissioners plans for the i'm
provement of county highways this
spring. and until thorough discus
sion can be INDUCED in at the May
meeting next week. the board will be
up in the air" on the matter. 1t is
doubtful If the proposed plan to
build a sample mile of high grade
highway under the direction OF a
government expert can be carried out
in view of the highway commission s
order.
Chairman Snyder was particularly
anxious to be fully understood as to
his position. He wants the Delta
road fixed and fixed right. but he is
opposed to a bald waste of funds on
that line when other sections Of the
county's primary roads are absolutely
impossible.

w tBy Associated Press. 1T
w Is asserted here today on un-
questionable authority that the
South American ENJOYS who are seek
ing to avert a crisis in Mexico. have
papealed to the European govern
ments for friendly offices to faciii-
tate the mediation between Mexico
and the United States. The appeal
does not include the request that the
powers use their influence on Pres
ident Wilson to name the conditions
of peace. as reported abroad. 1t is
also learned that a proposal to Car
rama. as head of the constitutional
lists, asking him to join the armistice
had been made by the mediating en-
yoys The proposal was forwarded
to Carranza following the accept
ance OF the good offices of Brazil,
Chile and Argentine. The ENJOYS
plan to secure n general cessation of
hostilities in all Mexico pending the
negotiations. Complaint was made
to the French embassy here by Cap
tain Holland of an American line
ship that the American authorities at
Vera Cruz had refused permission to
unload vessel on April 2l. Secre-
tary Daniels transmitted a message
from Admiral Fletcher denying that
refusal was made.
The request of the powers. II is de-
clared. has already borne fruit, and
several diplomatic representatives of
European nations have consulted
Bryan regarding the negotiations
Denials of the previous reports from
abroad in regard to the manner were
based on the report that the powers
had been asked to insist on modi-
fication of the attitude. United
States officials here insist that such
action was not considered; that
friendly offices of some of the Euro
pean governments were extended be-
fore the mediation ENJOYS had made
the general request. There was no
desire on the part OF these govern
ments to interfere with the policy of
Wilson.
One hopeful sign in the Mexican
situation was the instructions to the
state department issued today that
certain consuls in Mexican cities
would return to their post and as
sumo their duties I'm personal discre-
