D. Wallace and A. C. Barr returned Irom meeting in San Francisco with Dr. Hughes, regional cmei oi the red-' eral bureau of roads, and S.

C. Dur-keer state highway engineer of Nevada. The main, topic of discussion was the feasibility of arranging for early construction of the McGill--Wells-Idaho road. The plan tentatively agreed upon was that this road be designated and approved for federal aid, and that a total of 124 miles be applied on this route, one stretch of seventy miles from a point seven miles north of McGill 'to a point fifteen miles north of Currie, and fifty-four miles between Wells and Contact.
