Cochise County Board Advances Territorial Highway Fight
The Cochise County board scored a key point in the territorial highway controversy. A communication from Richard E. Sloan addressed to G. A. Mank was forwarded to Phoenix by the Cochise supervisors about the 1911 levy for the territorial highway. The board will likely proceed with the 1912 tax levy, pending assurance that at least eighty percent of Cochise county collections for highway purposes are spent within the county. The governor outlined road building plans and costs for the Cochise road, with surveying, grading, paving, and oiling to complete 22 miles at an estimated $55,9644, while Cochise has contributed about $71,509.71, most of which is already appropriated to Cochise.
