 day. One way fare is 20 cents and the 

 trip takes about 35 minutes.

 are two optional routes. Route "A" 

 takes you to Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, 

 Colorado Springs, Denver and Omaha.

 you sec the Grand Canyon, Albuquer-

 and lights may be seen from the desert 

 for miles. The population of Las 

 Vegas is estimated to be 9,200. 



Just a short way from Las Vegas is 

 Boulder Dam, a $165,000,000 project,

 crete was used in its construction than 

 in all other dams built by the United 

 States Reclamation Service combined.

miles. The most expensive quarter- 

 mile of roadway on earth is that which 

 traverses the top of the Dam and links 

 Arizona and Nevada at this point.

 ley by controlling flood waters of the 

 great Colorado river. It will provide 

 water for 10,000,000 people in the 

 Southwest, It has been termed the 

 most stupendous piece of engineering

 Dam project has brought about devel-

 will be used to pay expenses of opera-
