RAEL



Regarding your request for assistance locating information on the RAEL Toll Bridge.I found only one reference to it in a Taos News Paper,as follows:

La Revista de Taos..Viernes 3 de Agosto 1917 No.30.AVISO-A los residentes del Pt.6 de Arroyo Hondo,Aviso es por estas dado,que des de el dia 5 de Septiembre A.D.1917,Todos los arriba mencionados que tengan que pasar por la Puente ahora perteneciente a SILVERO RAEL,Tendran que pagar el precio regular tasado a toda persona segun el precio del camino de portazago...Silverio Rael..30 33

I would suggest that you contact the South West Research Center,Perhaps they may have some additional information (Documents,Photos).The person in charge is Nita Murphy at nitkit@laplaza.org They will not be open until after the New Years Holidays.
Best Of Luck On Your Search.
