Road Work Plan in Cochise County Outlined by Board
The Cochise County board approved a year plan for road work allocating 15 dollars immediately north of the lake near Roberts area, 60 thousand dollars for the north end, and the remainder for other county roads. They aim to secure federal funds to match county expenditures and move crews along Benson to the New Mexico line, with a future shift toward Tombstone to Benson as work progresses. An additional item notes the 158th Infantry, Arizona's Own, will depart France for the United States around April 1 and be demobilized at Fort Bliss, with only about 300 Arizona men remaining in the unit after transfers.
