If all goes, ucll Cochise -county will fairly hum with road work in the near future, but Is to be hoped that if an extra million is thrown into the road work Jack pot, that every precaution will be taken to see that the money Is made to give us good returns. Haste In road work without the precautions thrown around it by exacting engineering details only result In waste but as the county has an experienced engineer in the person of Mr. Clyde Smyth it is reason-able to suppose that he will see that the roads are built right. The work that is being done by the Highway Commission is a most excellent lot of work and it will be observed that the engineering work in each locality differs very materially because of the fact that local conditions can for different methods in each section of the county, as for instance, the Commission announces that there wilt not be a single culvert in the road between Cochise and Pearce.

That is a case of "condition" where all waters will be handled by dips of the most easy-riding curvature. The prospects of road work on an extensive scale in this county, the money to he derived by direct taxation. Is now waiting on the legislature.
