 With all due respect for THE CITI-I zEN's fairness in argument, we set forth the point that because a small amount of Government money was once almost thrown away here, by an officer who did not know the county that is no reason why Government ought not to help make the road from Northern Arizona to New Mexico and the States passable for United States mail, citizen and military vehicles. ltI is a very long and important route, hence the necessity for a small Con gressional appropriation.
 The Yavapai tax levy Is as follows :: Territorial general fund, 9 cents Ter ritOrial school fund, 15 cents; county general fund, $160; county school fund, 90 cents; Prescott and Bradshaw city road bonds, 50 cents; Black CaiOnI road bonds 10 cents; Iron Spring road bonds, 15 cents; county building fund bonds, 50 cents; Bradshaw road (Bat-l tie Flat bonds, cents; Territorial Prison account, 20 cents; total tax on each $l00, S4 School District No. l, 3j cents.
