government engineer to endorse the
bridging plan and that, if he does,
the road will soon be fairly uassable
for cars from Flagstaff clear through
to the towns below.
The endorsement of the government
engineer is desired because if it is
obtained, in case we get government
help in later further improvement of
the highway, whatever we may spend
on the road now will be credited to us
against the funds the government
puts up. But it is likely if Mr.. Lam
ports plans do not meet the approval
of the government engineer, they will
be carried out anyway, because to
carry them out would not prevent our
receiving government help on the rest
of the road, and it would not be wise
to let the road stay closed for two or
three or perhaps more years waiting
for government aid that may never
materialize.
The opening up of this road will
be tremendous benefit to Flagstaff
and a convenience to the citizens in
both the northern and southern halves
of the state, affording much more di-
rect communication and through the
most scenic section of the state. 1t
will also be a great attraction to
tourists, opening up to them another
wonderland which in the past very few
of them have seen because the roads
have been too bad to encourage travel.
