High Road Spending in Nevada Criticized by Local Voice
A Nevada press comment from Tonopah argues against costly federal and state road projects in desert regions. It condemns proposals to flood the desert with 22 narrow gauge miles at about 330000 dollars, calling for restraint and reliance on natural desert routes. The letter urges the Nevada Highway Commission and federal boards to tighten contracts, avoid wasting taxpayer funds, and protect existing roads from needless destruction. It notes Nye County has avoided the road-building push, cites the Goldfield cutoff as an overpriced example, and questions plans tied to the Midland trail that would benefit distant interests.
