Peek at the Past

The Times

Crook county people and particularly those of this section of the Black and Yellow Trail will be glad to note the prospect for early construction on the Sundance-Beulah unit as a state highway. Specifications and call for bids are published in the Times today and have been given wide publicity elsewhere. The estimated cost of the Sundance-Beulah project is given as $169,500, a great sum for the purpose it appears, made to cover safely all unforeseen adverse conditions, and probably exceeding actual cost. Authorities claim that once the main roads of such perfect character as contemplated by the state highway system are constructed, lateral projects and side roads of like kind will come with remarkable dispatch.
