Proposed 85 mile road to run across valley
The plan calls for about 85 miles of road with only 16 miles needing light grading. The route will clear brush and promises one of the territory’s finest roads. It will boost Mesa and valley producers by creating a quick market for food and supplies. Globe trade and Mesa farmers are ready to meet demand as Phoenix hosts the Populist County Convention nominating three Mesa citizens for county offices. The area’s irrigation system boasts a massive headgate with a flood of 150,000 inches controlled by a single attendant.
