BE DONE JULY 4
Old Valley Town Will Cele-
brate This and Independ-
ence With Barbecue.
Tsleta will celebrate doubly on July
4 The old valley town will hold a
1 ig barbecue. In observance of the
anniversary of the signing of the
Declaration of Independence and In
rejoicing over the completion of the
ni Paso-Ts!eta highway said to be
be the finest road of its kind in the
United States.
Work on this road which is being
built by the El Paso Bltulithlc com-
pany will be completed in about a
month. The highway is 22 feet wide
or wide enough for two hay wagons
movine abreast to clear each other
or for three automobiles to pass
abreast with ease. There is a two foot
oncrete shoulder on each side of the
toad while the intervening space is
being covered with bitulithic
Gives Eatnm Freaa Bast.
It is costing El Paso county about
si 86.069 to build or rather to widen
. id rebuild this road but as it Is the
only highway giving access to El Paso
city from the east and Is therefore
widely traveled the cost Is thought
commensurate with the good to be
derived from Improving the road.
Under the supervision of Mark E.
Jewell superintendent of construc-
tion for the Bitulithic company work
Is being rushed from both ends of the
rrd. The concrete shoulders have all
been completed while the laying of
mtulithlc has been compierea irom nu
Pass city to Val Verde and from
t'sleta to a point several hundred
i ards west of Valdesplno bridge.
Osdy Part of Road Program.
This road is only part of the general
. igh wav program formulated by coun-
iv Judge E. B. McCUntock and mem-
bers of the county commission when
the $250000 county road bond was
a oted. several conths ago.
As soon as the Tsleta road Is com-
pleted the Bitulithic company will be-
gin work on the smelter road which
Eives access to the main highway lead-
ing to Anthony which Is of concrete
and in excellent condition.
Extead Montana Street.
Under the supervision of county en-
gineer L. a. White another road Is be-
ing built east of El Paso city. It is an
e rtension of Montana street for over a
mile. The rightofway and the cost of
grading this road was donated to the
county by property owners the grad-
ing cost being $700. The county agreed
to surface the road with gravel of
caliche. This work will connect with
the north loop county road at Alfalfa
switch and will give a road Into and
nut of El Paso on the north of the G.
H. tracks.
DecMe em Sartk Ip-
Another part of the road program
decided on. but not definitely planned.
s the improvement of the socalled
north loop" east of the city. The eon-
dition of this road as far as Eel en Is
such that antolsts say It is hardly bet-!
ter than a sand path. From Bel en to
Fabens however some gravel placed
on the route has made It a fairly
passable second class road. Property
owners along this route have peti-
tioned the commissioners to inrorova
it. but no plans have been completed
jet.
Will Suspend
City Paving
Till War Ends
Copia and Few Unfinished
Streets Last; Council
Holds Back Bonds.
When city street paving already
projected is completed there will be
no more work of this kind In EI Paso
until after the war. Alderman J. P.
O'Connor said Saturday that this had
been practically decided.
There remains but one really im-
portant street to be paved that being
Copia which will give a paved out-
let to Alameda avenue and the county
road for all East El Pasoans now re-
quired to make the loop around Ple-
dras street.
The voters of the city decided some
months ago to sell $100000 bonds for
providing a fund for paving street in-
tersections. The issue was never sold
but the bonds are being taken at par
by the bitulithic company in payment
for intersection paving. When the
projects now under way are com-
gleted. about half of the bonds will
ave been so paid out. This will leave
about $50000 paving bonds in the city
treasury not issued.
Strange Woman Passes
Bad Checks; Then
Departs From City
Twenty EI Paso merchants have a
violent desire to meet once more a
woman with a number of aliases
who operated in El Paso Tuesday
according to a report reaching a
private detective agency in El Paso
"nicking" each merchant for sums
ranging from $5 to $2S.
Her system was simple. Walking
into a store she would select a few
articles usually toilet articles or
small Jewelry and when paying for
them would discover that she had not
sufficient change. She would then
resort to a check drawn for suffi-
cient to leave a comfortable balance
between the price of the articles and
the face of the check. She secured
about $100 by this means leaving
in the afternoon for a point on the
El Paso and Southwestern railway.
She drove to the place in a service
car and paid the chauffeur with a
bad check. The various frauds were
not discovered until Thursday..
It is believed however that the
woman Is working in Douglas. It is
thought that there may have been a
man working with the woman from
the fact that at one of the stores she
purchased a pair of man's shoes.
