$4,000 TO SPREAD
TARv|A ON STREETS
|Sixty-Five Stretches of Road.
way to Be Treated to Pre-
serve Surface.
TWO YEARS TOEND WORK
Commissioners Believe It Is Econ
omy to Make Existing Highways
Last as Long as Possible.

Ihe District engineer department
today completed arrangements for the
expenditure of $4,000 in spreading
tarVla over SIXty-five stretches of
roadway as means of preserving the
surfaces of these highways.
The treatment of macadam roads
with heavy tar and crushed stone to
prolong the life of the surface was
begun by the District last summer
when more than $4,000 was spent
Officials of the engineer department
SAID today they realize there are
many streets not on this years list
that need tarring, but funds available
for this work are very limited.
Maj +. s. Besson, assistant engineer
commissioner in charge of road work
said he hoped to be able to make uu
another list of streets to be covered
with tarvia after July 1, when the new
appropriations become available.
Two More Years REQUIRED.
He predicted it would take about
two more years to treat all of the
macadam surfaces with tarvia. While
nearly all of the roadways of the flu
ture Will be concrete or asphalt, the
Commissioners believe it is economy
and good management to preserve the
existing macadam surfaces as long as
possible.
The streets and roads to be treated
with tarvia during May and June

her friends had scarcely assumed that
she was likely to forsake her spinster-

upon herself to express some little
surprise at the engagement. and when

him you don't like:' answered: "Oh,
don't dislike him at all; It's only
that everybody thinks hm-well, not
exactly eccentric, but, at any rate,

writes james Il. Freddy IN the Amerf

To bring the time down to fnoro

when the Pueblo Indians constructed

coming out Of the past tells that these
bitches were built by the Yuma In

When Coronado, the rowing ex-
piorer. opened this country to the
Spaniards he found well-worked irri-1

this was In 1910 when he was pushing
toward the north. The practice Of
irrigation was continued under the
