It was estimated that a paved
highway. either Of concrete. bithulitic
o. something equally good would cost
in the neighborhood of $4,000, of
which probably two-thirds could be
secured by applying for federal aid
under the terms of the present laws
on that subject. which are rather
strict and explicit as to width and
construction Tho remainder, 1t was
thought. could be raised by Carbon
county. the City Of Rawlins and pos
sibly in part by private subscription.
MI. Marks pointed ont that Q new
survey should be made for this bou-
levard and that all trucks with solid
rubber tires or those that were over
loaded should be compelled to trav-
erse the old road and that by the
time the new road was completed the
heaviest OF the hauling would have
been done and that the road would
then be asked to accommodate only
pneumatic tired vehicles and COM
paratively light loads. He also ad-
vocated strongly the passage of a
law by the coming Legislature regu-
[lattng the overloading of trucks.

done serious injury to 4 bridge.

ton to get into communication with
