EXTENSIVE CHANCES ON
ROAD EAST OF TOWN

At an informal meeting Of county
and state road officials, held at the
court house Tuesday evening, It was
agreed that the county road gangs
would do the work on the six miles
of highway just east of town at
state expense. Those present were
j. J Vandemoer, district engineer of
Grand Junction; George Toupain, as
sistant superintendent Of mainten-
ance, II. I. Reno, resident engineer,
and the county commissioners and
road men.
The repairs contemplated will cost
about $4,000, and will be made
under the supervision of Archer Mil
Ter, county supervisor. The O'Fallon
hill east Of the cemetery will be cut
down extensively and the material
used to fill the lane between there
and town, which has always been q
swampy piece of road. Other i'm
provements will be made, starting
Immediately.
Complete improvements on the
Rainbow Route thru Gunnison this
year, including those around Sapi-
nero will exceed one hundred thous-
and dollars, almost all Of which Is
state or federal money. The county
tax levy for roads has remained prac-
tically the same for a number of
years, but thru the diligent efforts OF
our county commissioners many
times this amount has been secured
for county roads from outside sources
which not only develops the county
resources, but connects US with the
outside world in a great system of
transcontinental highways. Not only
wer the commissioners in Denver last
winter for several days on this work,
but Commissioner Whalen remained
on the job for two months and It
was largely thru his good work that
the Rainbow Route was made one Of
the primary -east-and-west interstate
highways. Before that only the north
ern route, thru Routt county had been
SO designated.

the Palmer car was standing down
the street, the motormeter and spot

Wants to be Sheriff

Under political announcements
on page 8 of this weeks Herald
our readers will please note that
Mr.. Tom Hubbard of Winslow
officially presents his sombrero
to the southern group of Nava-
jo county's electorate. He seeks
nomination on the Democratic
ticket for the Office of Sheriff.
Mr.. Hubbard is not very well
known up this way. but if his
popularity around his home town
can be taken as any indication,
he should be well received here.
He is a Winslow cattle man and
owns a ranch near that metro
polls, working at odd times at
carpentering. He has lived in
that vicinity ever since they dug
the Colorado River. He is a big,
jovial, blue eyed fellow, known
to his friends as big Tom.
From what we know of him he

the boys how to catch a calf and
they'll all vote for you.
