Ely FOR FALLON-SHURZ HlGHWAY.-STATE HIGH
WAY ENGINEER GIVES FACTS.

The Age is in receiptt of d let
ter from S. C. Durkee, state high
way engineer. with regard TO the
Fallon-Schurz highway and COM
mentS theron in a recent issue
of the Las Vegas Review Mr.
Durkie says:
Mr.. Cahlan may have unin-
tentionally miS-Stated conditions
as they exist regarding the Fallon-
Schurz highway.
Il am attaching a clipping from
the Carson City News, which was
an answer to Mr.. Cahlan'S editor
ial, and I believe this article clear
ly explains how the Fallon-Schurz
road will be financed. However,
the Carson City news omitted to
state that Churchhill county will
sell bonds in the amount of $53,-
600 to obtain money in addition to
the $4,000 from the County State
Highway fund to complete the con-
struction. You will see by this
that Churchill county has under
taken the entire responsibility OF
financing the Fallon-Schurz road
without any aid whatever from the
Department of Highways.
II am also sending you a copy
of the Nevada Highway Laws and
wish to call your attention tC
page 8. I have underlined the Law
which states that the Fallon-
Schurz road is on the State High
way System.
mfr. Cahlan calls attention Of
the public to the Caliente-La.

suppoSes this road will have Il
be financed by Lincoln and Clarl
counties, if it is ever constructed

department has made a partia
survey between Caliente and La
Vegas, but the present line a
survey is not satisfactory to botl
Lincoln and clark counties, and al
agreement will have to be reach

IF Clark county would be will

line as surveyed from Corn Cree
