Denver-Black Hills Highway Group Forms Plan
The Denver-Black Hills Highway association drafted a program Tuesday night to gain federal recognition for the Denver to Black Hills route. Delegates from Rapid City, Hot Springs, Chadron, Bridgeport, Peetz, and Sidney met at the Union Pacific hotel. L. T. Poole was elected president for 1932. M. W. Osborn became treasurer. Charles R. Rice of Bridgeport is vice president. Directors will include one from each town along the route. A budget over 2000 was set for 1932 with Sidney at 200 and Denver at 300. Rapid City already contributed 250. The long-term aim is hard surfacing the route and federal recognition as Highway No. 85 east to secure federal funds.
