ed a crew at work Monday building
about mile of road to connect
with the new road up Pipe creek
built some time ago by the forest
service. The forest service did not
complete this work into the city

cause the lower end of the project
was county road.
In a letter to the county commits

says that the lower eight miles of
this road had always been county
road. He adds, During the past
three years we were able to do a
certain amount of work, both re
locating and actual construction, or
portions of this road. We have not
been able to finish it, due to the
shortage of funds | assured
Mr.. Kemp that we would assis
him to the extent of our ability a.
to money and equipment available
and put this section of the road in |
suitable condition"
This road carries considerabl,
traffic. The new mile will do ava,
