Plans to Clear Rock Hazards on Bisbee Tombstone Road
Bisbee May 15 The engineer's office aims to make the Tombstone Bisbee highway safe by removing rock cuts beyond the divide. A letter from Thomas Maddock to the board of supervisors proposes using one cent funds and releasing equipment from the Vail Empire road to lower costs. The Commercial club urges early work, but supervisors say funding waits until after July 1 when next year's 75 per cent fund becomes available. Maddock says rock cuts could be removed with current funds and unpaid contract portions covered from the 75 per cent fund.
