State Officials Go Over
Read matters With
County Commissioners
PLAN AGREED UPON

An important meeting to Garfield
and other Western Slope counties com
prising Highway District No. 2, was
that held at Grand Junction last Mon
day at which time Major Blauvelt and
r. H. tBob) Higgins of the State
Highway commission, met the county
commissioners and others especially
interested in good roads construction
and discussed quite fully the plans to
be carried out in the construction and
maintenance of highways in which this
part of the state is especially inter
ested.
The meeting was well attended,
there being representation from every
county in the district with the excep-
ton of Ouray county, and the interest
was good from start to finish, Major
Blauvelt presenting a mass Of data
and clearing up many mooted questions
brought out by the discussion.
A very enjoyable luncheon was
served at noon in the Y M. C. A. base.
ment, following which considerable dis.
cussion was had. Major Blauvelt
said: Gentlemen, these are the three
requisites L must have in order to
make a success as your highway engi,
neer. cooperation, advice and con
structive criticism.'
Acting upon the above suggestion
the state road program was discussed
at considerable length, Major Blauvelt
making it very plain that he believed
in maintaining our present highways
rather than neglecting them and con
structing new roads which our funds
would not allow us to maintain. In
accordance with this plan the county
commissioners of the various counties
made application for state funds fol
the upkeep of the roads in their terri
tory, our own comm issioners feeling
assured that they will be supplied with
sufficient state funds to properly
maintain the state highways within
Garfield county, but being given but
scant nope along the line of new con
stfucticR.
County Commissioners John F. Nc
Coy. B. P. Coulter and z. B. Kiggin.
were in attendance from this county
while County Clerk Ora B. Kelly wa,
the representative of Eagle county al
