through a part of Nevada is one OF the
purposes of mountain roads bills

Williams will ask an appropriation
of 100000 from the state for the
rioga road. That part which runs
through the Yosemite is under con-
troll of the federal government. which
has agreed 10 improve its portion con-
tingent Oh the state spending an equal
sum improving the remainder of the
road.
Williams wants the state to con-
time the Mono highway from Long
Barn, Tuolnnne county 10 Sonora.
where II would connect with the val
ley and county-seat system OF the
state highway. The Mono road passes
through a United States forest reserve

priated $4,000, 900 to be used AT the
rate OF a million dollars ay ear in Inn
