Give Fallon Route
Intercounty Status
In Nevada In Amount of Aid
Received Say Officials

The road from Fernley through
Fallon and Ely to the Utah state
line at Ibapah, has been designated
as route by the state highway de-
partment and placed on the second
AIRY system of highways, according
TO statements published by the
highway department.
Route from the California state
line near Verdi to the Utah state
line near Wendoyer, through the
northern portion of the state is
placed on the primary system.
However, there is little difference
between the primary and secondary
systems in the state of Nevada, is
the statement made by the highway
officials. The statement is:
AS between primary and second
ary routes in Nevada, we can see no
difference whatever inasmueh as the
policy of the department is to dis
tribute federal aid as uniformly as
possible on the basis of assessed
valuation, which finally means that
each route will receive the maxi
mum attention possible under the
funds available. If anything, the
secondary routes will have a little
the best of the matter, as the gov
ernment standards permit the con-
struetion OF narrower grades and
surfaces on this class. which should
mean that greater mileage can be
secured for an equal exnenditure
"The approval in whole or in part
of the system designated is wholly
up to the Secretary of Agriculture,
and the department has placed the
matter squarely before the govern
ment officials"
