MORE STATE HIGHWAYS
LAYED OUT BY STATE HIGH
WAY ENGINEER GILLETT

Early this week State Highway En-
gineer Gillett returned from a trip
to De Baca and Guadalupe counties
where he spent several days laying
out and approving highway projects.
In De Baca county he planned a
stretch of fifteen and one half ,',ies
from the east county line westward
to connection with Federal aid Pro-
ject No. % which is completed. The
two projects complete the main coun-
ty highway from Fort Sumner to
the east boundary of the county.
These links are portions of State
Highway No. l9 locally known as the
Abo canon highway.
In De Baca county he also planned
stretch of seventeen and seven
tenths miles from the west county
line to Yeso. This leaves for future
consideration only that part of the
De Baca county east and west high
way between Yeso and Ricardo on
which there can be no definite action
until the suit brought by certain tax
payers of De Baca county and now
pending in the Supreme Court is de-
termined. This portion is the worst
part of the trail" and a special levy
was provided by the last legislature
for its construction. The act of the
legislature was resisted by legal pro-
cess which affects and deters both
location and funds for construction.
In Guadalupe county Mr.. Gillett
planned a link from the east county
line westward ten miles toward San
ia Rosa. This is a portion Of State
Highway No. ;. locally known as the
Tucumcari-Santa Rosa road and is
the part Of that road on which con-
struction is most needed. 1t includes
the bridging of the Pajarito very bad
flood stream.
Mr.. Gilleu's next trip will be to
Quay and Chaves counties. He could
not visit them on the last tour be-
cause il was necessary for him to
return to Santa Fe to let contracts
fer which bids had been called last
week.
Last Saturday he selected the route
for the short stretch between the end
of the surfaced state road at Pan
keys gate to the top of the Lamy
hill in Santa Fe county. This is only
four and one half miles and a ridge
route which will avoid all waterways
was located. Work started on the
same this week.
The outfit at work on the graded
road from the top of Clark hill into
Lamy from the south finished that
Job last Saturday

pave p blocks OF streets.
The engineers estimate for the work
was 1920, plus the incidental legal
and engineering fees. The company's
bid was Sa.063, exclusive OF the Gus
timary fees.
The bonds were taken at par, which
in itself is a matter worthy of pub
lie notice in these days OF financial
stress throughout the country. An
other thing is that a local company
will do the work This means that,
so Jar as possible. local workmen
will be employed
