County Looks to Build Sahuarita River Bridge
Pima County Board of Supervisors instructed county highway engineer T Grove to find financing and means to construct a substantial bridge across the Santa Cruz River at Sahuarita. The move follows requests by G J Duff of the Eagle Picker Mining & Smelting Co and 43 local residents to allow district consolidation and a new school, with Duff noting company property valued at 400 000 to 500 000 dollars and ore shipments to the mill 2 1/4 miles away. The estimated cost may run about 40 000 dollars, and officials prefer immediate action over federal postwar aid delays.
