First National Forest Road
Under Federal Aid Act

Portland, Or, Feb. 2,j.-The secretary
of agriculture has authorized the loea-
Il survey of section of the first
project in road construction submitted
under the national forest section of
the federal aid road act, which provides
for actual construction Of roads by the
federal government. Roads built under
authority of this part of the law are
designed primarily to promote economic
development and to serve public con.
yenience in localities where much Of
the land is in national forests. The pro.
posed road ON which action is taken is
in the Apache national forest, Green
lee county, Arizona.
The preliminary estimate of the cost
of construction of the II miles of road
to be surveyed is $342, ,500.An addition.
lal 30 miles of road in Apache county
will be necessary to complete the pro-
jeet, and, according to the preliminary
estimate, will bring the total cost to
| $420, 900.
Approval of the plans for the sur
| vey was based upon the industrial re-
sources which win be opened up and al
SO upon the offer of one-half eoopera-
| tion by Greenlee county The proposed
route of this road bisects the largest re-
naming wilderness in the southwest
and will connect with the existing east
and west state highways, In addition,
| it is stated, the road win make possible
the sale of large bodies of timber for
the use of copper mines in southern
Arizona, and afford means of travel
for settlers besides cheapening the cost
Iof protecting and administering the ma
tional forest. The development of water
power in the region will be assisted, and
a beautiful recreation area will be
opened up for tourist travel and for
the residents of the desert cities during
.4e summer months.
In each case, under the terms Of the
law,the road funds must be derived part
ly from local sources, and the amount
dependable in any county by the gov.
ernment is limited to ten per cent of the
estimated value of the timber and for
age resources of the national forests
in that county
