 At a meeting of the board of su- pervisors last Saturday the first steps were taken for the preliminary sur vey to be made of the Clifton-Sprin- gerville Highway project. A rough estimate by the department of agricul ture has placed the cost of such a preliminary survey at $7,0O0, half of which is to be borne by the Depart ment and half by Greenlee County. It may be that the amount will be more than this, in which case, the diff | ference will be equally divided as ori- ginally agreed.
 The Board of Supervisors at the meeting of Saturday set aside the sum of $3,750 from the general road fund for the Preliminary Survey Fund.-" This sum will be used to pay the cost of the location survey of that section of the Clifton-Springervill Highway project within Greenlee county as per agreement made with the secretary of agriculture, and for no other purpose.
 As the funds are now available for the preliminary survey it is thought | that work will be commenced not later than sixty days Upon the completion of the survey a closer ap- proximation of the cost of the pre- l ject will be had and with a favorable vote on the bond issue, the real work of construction will be started and rushed to completion as rapidly as possible.
 Following is the cooperative agree ment for the location survey between f1,A Of II, Board of Supervisors of Greenlee county:
