Federal Bureau hinges NM highway resurfacing on bituminous surfacing
The Bureau of Public Roads at Phoenix seeks New Mexico reimbursement for federal payments on the Anthony to Berino highway. It demands complete 6.5 mile surfacing with concrete shoulders, while the federal share may cover only concrete shoulders. Officials warn funding hinges on final surfacing to the government’s satisfaction, with the contractor possibly bearing full surfacing costs. The Dona Ana Farm Bureau backs the stance, urging the state to compel remediation or fund it. Federal last payment was July 27, 1922, under a 61.5 percent federal share.
