Commissioners Plan Improved Side Roads in Silver Bow County
County commissioners draft plans to improve side roads to main highways and streets north of Butte outside city limits. They expect favorable review from the safe highway commission for hard-surfacing main county highways using funds from the government and county bond issue. A two mill levy would yield about 65 000 annually to upgrade neglected routes including Nine Mile to Eighteen Mile hill, Brown's Gulch, Divide roads, and routes to Moulton reservoir and Low Lands, with emphasis on Butte Cen terville Walkerville corridor and frequent washouts in canyons.
