About four miles of en- tirely new construction win be nec- essary to continue this road to Fossil Greek. where it will connect with one of the Yavapai county highways and continue on to Camp Verde and then to Prescott. and from Prescott the Yavapai county highway can be used north via Jerome Junction and Ash Fork to the Canyon. The Gila county authorities according 10 Mir Nash, have been in correspondence with the Yavapai county authorities concern ing the proposed Globe 10 Fossil Creek and Fossil Creek to Prescott road One great problem to the GHa board which is now being considered by Thomas, the county engineer, is Co make Globe accessible 10 the resi- dents or Pleasant Valley and that sec tion north of the Salt River. 6At pres ent the county is maintaining a ferry at Livingston but that is not satisfac- tory in part due to its expense.
