The road is to be Is feet wide. and
will be of crushed rock about seven
inches deep, the same type OF road
that now extends from the northeast
corner OF Filler TO the Ed Noh corner
beyond the Chapman ranch.
ID is estimated mat this type of
permanent road will cost in the nei
ghborhood of $1,000 emile and IL is
said TO make a particularly good
road Approximately $500 yards OF
crushed rock are used for a base
Then six or seven hundred yards OF
medium rock Is used on top OF the
base. and this Is finished with five
or six hundred yards OF finish rock.

New water mains have now been
laid under the state highway from
The south end of Yakima avenue TO
