result oi this work the board was able to outline intelligently the work 10 be undertaken at once and to au- thorize the amount of money to be expended on the several roads and bridges.
 The Central highway which starts at Douglas and runs via Pirueyine. the Peckinpaugh ranch the Erie school house, through the Leak neigh bortood. touching the Robb ranch and then on the Couruand, is to be completed as fast as the work can be done. and for $40OO is made availa- ble. Besides this work. the road be- tween Douglas and Pirtlevile. a link of the Central highway is to be sur faced and the bridge widened at an expense of $492O.
 One hunderd and fifty dollars is to be expended ,on what is known as the Pool crossing on the San Pedro river and Sl0O will be used in fixing 8 sim- liar crossing at Sodtown.
 A new road will be opened from the Erie schoolhouse on the Central highway south to the Garagi bridge This will cost $2S4
 A wooden bridge across White riv- CT creek on the Double-Adobe will be constructed at a cost of $500.
 Another bridge across the same stream al the Taylor windmill will be built at a cost Of S1.OoO

 Dry Lake Road Ruined.
 Last year a road was graded across what is known as the dry lake, be- tween Wulcox and Cochise. Contin- | ual high water in this lake has dam Iaeed this road SO as to render it im- passable. Waves have beat against leach side of the grade and cut 1t away at places It is not possible to rebuild road around this lake to the north. Around the lake from CochIse to Wiucox would increase the dis tauce five miles, but it would not cost any more than to rebuild Che . ruined road through the lake which would have to be riprapped The road around the lake would be con, yenience to many settlers along it's route The county engineer and the board of supervisors will visit Will COX and Cochise perhaps calling a mass meeting at one or both places TO get the sentiment of the people in terested before deciding definitely the best thing to be done regardinl this road
 IL was agreed that late this veal and as soon as money is available from taxes levied this year a bridge will be built over the San Pedro river lat Charleston to accommodate the new and increasing settlement south o the river in that vicinity This bridge Is estimated to cost $94OO.
 Another piece of road work agreed lon but which must be deferred uuti the fall season is building bridges and surfacing the road across Curti flat in the s. David district at a cos of S5.221
 Fifteen thousand dollars of th' present available road money was se aside as a reserve to meet the eX pense of repairs and upkeep dqrinl ihef balance of the year on the road
 of the county
 All the estimated road expense de
 sirable for this year exceeds the bud
 get for this year $22.OOO Had it no
