The entire highway, with this exception, from Salt Lake to Los Angles is in fine condition, but little work has been done In recent years by Arizona on "the strip." Tourist last season were emphatic In their denounciatlon of this section of the road, and much travel was kept off of the 91 highway by the reports given out by these tourists. A Pheonlx, Arizona, paper gives the following: Arizona's northmost national highway, from tha Utah state line to the Nevada state line by way of Littlefield on the Arrowhead Trail will be graded and bridged during the next 12 months, according tq federal aid highway officials. Bids will be opened for the work, February 11 and it is estimated that the grading and bridge will be completed within 300 days' weather conditions in that section permitting continuous work on the road.
