PATIOTYPE OF MEXICAN HOUSES, MINING TOWN NEAR JEROME, ARIZuNAHerding & Boyd, Architects space for a baseball field and an opportunity to erect a grandstand on the rail-road embankment at a minimum expense. There will be a comparatively smallamount of grading and filling in connection with this work which is amplyjustified, as there is no other location for a ball field within six or seven milesof either this town site or of Jerome. Engineering Features Attention is called to the cross sections of the town site which graphicallyshows the use to which this very rough land has been put and the exceedinglysmall amount of cut or fill that is required to carry out these plans. The light dotted line shown in these cross sections represents the existinggrade which has been utilized for cellar space on the upper side of the roadway,any excavated material being used as fill on the lower side of the roadway soas to meet steam shovel operation.

REVISED MEXICAN HOUSES, MINING TOWN NEAR JEROME. ARIZONAHerding & Boyd, Architects 60 THE ARCHITECT AND ENGINEER The only fill of consequence is in the proposed school area and is to beutilized to develop a playground and athletic field connecting the Mexican andAmerican sections to the town. Special care has been given to drainage, which is an item of considerableimportance due to the comparatively large area and the rocky character of theground. The natural gullies are preserved, and wherever possible have beenimproved and in some cases advantageously used to irrigate groups of cotton-wood trees, which should be set out in this development. Wherever the need of pathways will justify the expense, these have beenlaid out in the form of concrete stairways. The street layout illustrated in both cross sections and plan has been de-signed to control through traffic which is regulated by the general arrangement
