The State Highway Department boosts office and field crews as more Federal aid road projects are explored. Mishon Millard of Pueblo begins Federal aid project No. 3 from Santa Fe to Pankey gate, while Midland Bridge prepares to build bridges and culverts. Construction on Mescalero Sands across Roswell-Lovington is set to start, with J A Klassner organizing crews. Santa Fe Canyon Road upgrades push ahead with local and federal funding support.
