GRAND MESA ROAD DISCUSSED
AT LIONS CLUB MEETING

The chief subject for discussion at
the weekly dinner at the Lions Club
Wednesday was the possibility of Sc
curing funds from the Forest Service,
state and county for improving the
roads to the Grand Mesa lakes. the
scenic beauty of which is second to
none in America.
H. H. French, forest supervisor, was
present and gave considerable encour-
agement as to what might be expected
from the Forest Service. although at
this time could give no definite fig
ures. He also discussed the proposed
trail across the Roubideau canyon
which is to be built in the near future.
At any rate, with the combined efforts
of the Forest Service, the state and
county funds. the Chamber Of Com
merce and the various clubs of this
city and other towns hereabouts, it is
very probable that we shall see some
noticeable changes in the near fu-
ture which will result in bringing
more tourists to the Western Slope.
