Exclusive of a $ which the county, interests have joined hands to bring Salt Cre nearer Casper, Natrona county has spent during the year just closed over $50,000 in the im- provement and maintenance of its roads. Ten thousand went toward the gr ing of six miles of the Big Muddy road, an investment that will show returns with ‘the “January thaw.” Some $40,000 was paid out 1 general maintenance and improve- ment work, much of which was done on_the road leading from Arminto to the Johnson county line and other {important work in the Bates Hole region. The Salt Creek project stands in a class by itself, being the largest ever undertaken in the state. The grading has now been completed for the full length of the route con- tracted and a permanent ribbon of concrete spans one of the most dif- ficult stretches immediately north of the city. Seven miles of hard sur- facing remain to be completed next y in addition to the concrete work, which came to a temporary halt with the advent of freezing weather. Grad- ing of this section remains to be done, having awaited the more fa- vorable climatic conditions of the spring, During the fall the soil was found to be too loose to secure good results and the precipitation of the spring months was found necessary to build a firm roadbed. Casper as a city has easily taken the lead over all other rivals in the state in the matter of permanent road improvements as attested by the fact that the present year saw the com- pletion of over two miles of paving, added to over a mile in use at the beginning of the year. This was con- summated at a cost frequently run- ning into four figures for the indi- vidual property owner and without ! 0,000 project in tion and private improvements in the ranch districts are only tentatively outlined at this time and aside from the main- /“ tenance and grading of roads now in se, the highway into the Sweetwat- er country is the only one which admits of definite forecast in matter of new construction.
