Carson Link is Ignored 
The start being made this year to¬ 
ward building the Carson City-Leete- 
viHe highway, pioneer stretch of the 
Lincoln route, is not being continued 
by the highway department. 
Federal aid mileage between 
Hound House and Leeteville was 
“borrowed” to complete a job in the 
eastern part of the state with the un¬ 
derstanding that it would be re¬ 
stored as soon as the next allotment 
of federal aid mileage were made 
available. 
The Carson City-Mound House link 
of the pioneer trail of the Lincoln 
highway, which had .been retained, 
had been overlooked by the present 
state highway, department until at¬ 
tention was called thereto by H. R. 
Mighels of the Carson City Appeal. 
The department responded with ac¬ 
tion in terms of actual construction 
when its members' attention was 
called to the oversight; 
But the department admits noth¬ 
ing of the “borrowed” mileage from 
Mound House to Leeteville. 
The tentative program for 1931 
is making use of an available ten 
miles of federal aid for use between 
tho city limits of Las Vegas and the 
Boulder dam site.
