1t needs hardly be said that
the building of this road would
prove of great direct benefit to
this county. The most immedi-
ate benefit would be during cen
struction operations, turning
loose large sums of money for
labor and timber. Ehe ultimate
benefits would be better shipping
facilities, direct communication
with Albuquerque, the Pecos and
San Juan valleys.
Here's hoping that the bonds
will float on the top crest, and
that construction will begin soon.

The County Road Board held a
meeting here Monday, The Off
GERS were reelected. The board
has decided upon new depart
reu in the matter of road work,
and instead of having district
deputies to attend to road mat
ters, hereafter one man will at
tend to this business for the
whole county. Eleven candi-
dates made application for the
job. and out of the lot C. B.
Hamrick of Negra was selected.
The county is divided into three
road districts identical with the
commissioner districts. It is
possible that Mr.. IIamrick will
appoint a deputy in each of these
districts, though as we under
stand it, that is a matter resting
entirely with him.

February 26, 1914
To the people of Estancia, McIr-
tosh and Moriarty:-
The attention of the Mountain
air Business Mems Association
has been called to an article ap-
pearing in the Albuquerque Eve
ming Herald some days ago, rela-
tive to the matter of working
the road connecting the Ocean TO
Ocean Highway in the Abo can
yon and the Panhandle Pacific
Highway at Lucia and it is
thought possible that the article
may convey to the people in your
part of the country an erroneous
idea as to what the people of
Mountainair and elsewhere along
this road are doing and intending
to do.
At the meeting of the associa-
tion last night | was instructed
to write you, advising that we
have raised about $150.00in cash
subscriptions and an amount in
labor inclusive, of about $100. co.
for the purpose of working this
end of the road in question and
it is our purpose to apply this
money on this road to the best
advantage. When completed, it
is our intention to extend an in
vitation to the proposed excur-
sionists from Amarillo to Albu-
querque to either go or come
this way, but we have no inten-
ton of trying to take from you
what you have earned in secur-
ing the log of this official route.
Your road is now in fairly good
condition and it is our purpose,
in connection with the people of
Willard, to make this road equal
ly as good and keep it so, but
we are not actuated by any de-
sire to create strife of an un-
friendly nature between the diff
ferent localities in Torrance
county but rather to cement the
friendship already existing and
by a system of friendly but crea-
tive rivalry, secure more and
better roads in the county, that
the county as a whole may be
better able to display it's resour-
ces. Yours very truly,
Secretary.
