Dear Sir.
We. of tins district in Gunnison
county were pleased TO see the articles
about COED roads in our county in your
last issue. and especially the article in
dicating that work would be commenced
in February to finish the connecting
link between Bowie in Delta county and
Somerset, Colo, a distance Of - miles,
to connect with good roads. This is in
deed good bit of news to the many
farmers and other residents who have
had no road to get out of here for 50
many years, and indeed not from the
beginning OF settlement here.
1t had been rumored that the Fire
Mountain canal road would not be con-
structed ON account of certain opposi-
tion, but we hope the voters of this Sec
tion will have no cause to be alarmed,
and that our commissioners will see to
it that nothing will be in the way to
prevent them from completing this bit
of road rs outlined by them on their
last visit here before election.
wish to call your attention to the
fact that this end of our county is being
settled very fast. In the Pilot Knob
country about eighteen families have
taken up nice homes. They have COM
menced work on road down Bear creek
which is q mile west of Somerset and
will connect with the road on the canal,
which will bring them to Somerset to
their nearest point for mail and trading,
with total distance of four miles
This movement on the part of the
Gunnison county commissioners to build
this piece of road brings joy to the
hearts of 800 people in this section, and
we heartily endorse their action. Keep
the good work going. There is no
doubt in my mind but what $500 can be
collected yearly from Somerset alone
for road tax, aside from the work done
by farmers, etc. | would like to have
you publish the sentiments of the people
here, and, as said before, we hope the
disquieting rumor mentioned is without
foundation.
