Pigott and Kilmer Advocate Good Roads Plan
A. W. Pigott of the forest service and J. G. Kilmer of Cloverdale urge extending a trunk line highway north to south through the county. They argue the route should pass between the Peloneillo and Animas divisions of Coronado National Forest and that federal funds could support forest and post roads projects.
