ROAD SURFACING
ON UPPER PECOS
IS NEARLY DONE
Work will Be Complete In
Six Weeks; Road Bureau
Hopes To Surface All
Mountain Roads This Year

The road on the upper Pecos
which was worked over last year
and a part of which was entirely
reconstructed, is being surfaced
and will be finished in about six
weeks, says e. S. Wheeler, engi-
neer of the bureau of public roads
A distance of about ten miles, cX-
tending from the Valley Ranch to
about one mile of Ervin's, is be-
ing put in extremely good shape.
The road bureau hopes to get
sufficient funds this year to sur
face all the mountain roads OF re-
cent construction. According to in
formation received from the road
chiefs in Washington, the Town
send bill in its present modified
form, will be passed in July, thus
furnishing money for road work.
The Snowflake-Pine Top project
below Holbrook, Ariz,, will be fin
ishcd about July 15 This is fine
piece of work about forty miles
long.
Upwards Of $4,000 has been
saved during the past year by the
bureau of good roads on estimat-
cd costs. The work has been COM
pleted for that much less than
closest estimates figured it should,
Eight projects were covered,
The bureau is now advertising
for bids to be made June 80 for
the Rio Arriba county Chama pro-
ject, which is twenty miles long
and extends from Canjilon to &C.
bolla.
Surfacing on the Hondo- Mesca-
lero project has just been llnshed.
The road has a total length of
twenty-five miles, with eight miles
of surfacing. The road is uniform
owing to the natural construction
OF the rock, the material being
known as bank run" 1t is said
that this is the best piece of road
in the state and it is a beautiful
scenic route.
Section c of the Salt River
Pleasant Valley m Arizona, a dis
lance of about twenty-one miles. is
finished also, furnishing another
north and south highway.

the federal aid money for roads
is protected, Mr.. Wheeler an
nounced yesterday. Plans for
fourteer projects were submitted
to this office June 2, and the last
papers, inspected and approved
| left the local office June Z, five
days earlier than the time limit
| These plans must be approved by
June 80, or federal aid Tor state
roads will be lost.
These projects amount to ST.
$4,000 and cover a distance OF
/ 322, 900 miles, 1t is the policy OF
the bureau not to expend money
