      Sprinkler systems for lawns should not be operating every day. Drip or bubblers used for irrigating trees and shrubs should not be operating daily either.
      This is unhealthy for plants. Right now is an excellent time to try increasing the number of days between irrigations as long as possible.

Beltway plan still on track

To set the record straight, the western leg of the Las Vegas Beltway will be finished on schedule.
      Representatives from Clark County and The Howard Hughes Corp. assured Summerlin and Northwest residents that the western leg of the new road system will reach West Cheyenne Avenue by 2004 as planned.
      "What people don't realize a lot of times is that we are ahead of schedule on this portion of the Beltway," said Lance Malone, a member of the Clark County Commission. "We accelerated the plan in order to make sure folks in the Northwest had alternate routes to reach home and work. We are still on schedule to finish the project all the way to Summerlin Parkway by the year 2000, but the next leg to Cheyenne might take until 2004."
      Many people had raised concerns about the phantom delay, believing the original schedule had slated that portion of the new freeway to also be completed by 2000. In actuality, the county and The Hughes Corp. are ahead of schedule.
