Highway Improvement
By Co. Commissioners

At the next meeting of the board of
county highway commissioners ON Aug
5th. definite plan of highway i'm
proyement will be outlined. That the
disgrace to any civilized community is
a matter of common knowledge and has
resulted I'm many travellers routing
Their trips in some direction other than
thro Ugh this county; hence the fact that
the highway commissioners are going to
act in an effort to keep pace with our
neishboring counties, is source OF
much satisfaction to all citizens who
believe in good roads and the commits
missoners are to be congratulated.
The commissioners have already de-
cided to improve the road between Bull
lionville and Caliente and the reason
work has not been started before now
Is due to the fact that the board has
been getting estimates on the cost Of
at least one grading machine This data
is now in their possession and doubt
less at the next meeting of the board
the purchase of the macnihe will be
authorized.
The commissioners, it is said, favor
the idea of first building one ma
higway through the county, from north
to south, which Will connect with the
highways Of White Pine and Clark coun-
ties and making direct line of COM
muncat on between Ely and Las Vegas
the road passing through all of the
principal towns of Lincoln county.
