FIRST FOREST ROAD
UNDER FEDERAL AID
Is In Apache National Reserve
in Greelee County,
Arizona.

PORTLAND, Feb 22.-The Secre-
tary OF Agriculture has authorized
the location survey Of a section OF the
I first project in road construction sub
mitted under the National Forest
section OF the Federal Ala Road Act,
which provides for actual construc-
tion of roads by the federal govern
ment. Roads built under authority
Of this part Of the law are designed
primarily to promote economic de-
veIopment and to. serve public Son-
venience i'm localities where much OF
the land is in national forests. The
proposed road on which action is
taken is in the Apache National For
est, Greenlee county. Arizona.
The primary estimate Of the cost OF
construction of the II miles of road
to be surveyed is $42.5O0. An addi-
tioflal 20 miles of road in Apache
county will be necessary to complete
the project, and, according to the
preliminary estimate. will bring the
total cost TO $4,000.
Approval of the plans for the sur
vey was based upon the industrial re-
sources which will be opened up ana
also upon the offer of one-half CO.
operation UE bTeSHlets NOhitEH
proposed route Of this road bisects
the largest remaining wilderness In
the Southwest, and will connect with
the existing east and west state hish-
ways. In addition, 1t is stated, the
road will make possible the sale OF
large bodies of timber for the use Of
copper mines in southern Arizona
and afford means of travel for set
tiers besides cheapening the cost Of
protecting and administering the ma
tionaI forest. The development OF
water power in the region will be as
sisted. and a beautiful recreation area
will be opened up for tourist travel
and for the residents Of the desert
cities during the summer months.
In each case under the terms OF
the law. the road funds must be de-
rived partly from local sources, and
the amount expended in any county
by the government Is limited to ten
per cent Of the estimated value of the
timber and forage resources of the
national forests in that county.
