Boulder, Colo.-An action insuring
the expenditure of at least $1,000 on
the scenic highway running north
from Boulder to Lyons was taken by
the county commissioners when they
voted to appropriate so of county mon
ey for every dollar raised by the citi-
zens of Boulder for the improvement
Of the road.
Boulder business men have already
contributed $3,71O for the purpose, and
the action of the commissioners means
that $7,420 will be added to this
amount.
The funds which will be available
will make it possible for the commits
sioners to spend about $1,000 per mile
on the scenic highway. Those in
charge of the work plan to make de-
tours rather than to go to the expense
of cutting down all the hills along the
route.
1t is believed that by skillful ar
rangement of detours grade of not
more than 6 or per cent can be OBJ
tanned, while at the same time the
road will be greatly beautified.
