This is part of a project which is to cost about $524,000. County Commission chairman Mars Pope stated sta-ted that the County had yet to hear from the Fed. eral Government concerning concern-ing this project. If the Federal portion of the project pro-ject is approved they will provide about 60 per cent of the total cost with the County also ' providing ?104,000 to match that provided pro-vided by the state. Pope indicated that the County had applied to the Four Corners Regional Commission for funds to aid in the county's share of the project.
