Weekly Arizona citizen., 1880-06-19

New Highway to Globe City.
 The road meeting called for last night at Levin's Hall did not call out as many of our citizens as the irpOT- tance of the subject demanded, but the energy and puLlic-spiritedress of the comparatively small number present compensated for the numerical weak ness.
 The meeting was called to order by Col. Toole, who briefly but poinIed.y stated the object of the gathering, and he was elected Chairman with Mir. $. R. DeLong as Secretary.
 Mr. Hugh Farley being called upon for his views on lhe subject, respond ei with a fve-minates speech, in which in concise and clear manner he urged that Tucson's future lies in her con- merce; that that commerce will not come to her doors, let her natural ad- vaIt2res Je w.ia. they may, unless she offers better advantages tp purchasers ,haa her rivals, and that tlc most i'm po.lant of these advantages are good roa Is from the different mining dis tricts. He then called attention to the Territorial law in relation 10 county roads, which provides that upon the petition of ten taxpayers the Board of Supervisors shall appoint viewers to inspect aud lay out any proposed read, and the same shali be built if g9nd and valid objections are not offered. The objections to the new real tO Pat ag"nia came from interested parties, and were not valid. Because the road benefited Tucson as we'll as the out hing districts was a reason why it should be bull, instead Of an-objecliOn. Not road in the Couaty would have been built had the Supervisors waited until aii tne inhabitants of the county were equally interested in its builJlng. Hence the Legislature in iIs wisdom adoped this law that each section in its turn might take advantage of the general aid. The new and growing mining camps should have the quick est and best means of reaching q base of supplies, and because this view of the matter accidentally favored Tue son was no reason why the oad should not be constructed. Tucson pays four ffths of the county takes and is cer- tainly entitled to some consideration.
 Col. To0le Then stated that con- miitee had been appointed Ut former meeting to urge upon the Supervisors the necessity Of action, and asked for repurt.
 lir. Fish as chairman of that con- mIttee reported that the Supervisors app intcd himself and Mr. Samuel Hughes as viewers, to act with the County Surveyor, Mr. Edward; that he nad Lcld himself in TeaGiHess since to undertake the work, but was una ble 10 obtain the presence of his col leagues.
 Col. Toole then said that talking and waiting would accom- pli>hed nothing, and proposed ihnt the citizens build the road ihems i've. He held him. se r-ady to give S2j0 toward the road, and Mayor Leatherwood and Mr. II. Samaniego had signiiied their will linyness 10 give SiU0 each Who would add to he amount?
 R. E. Kelly meIiately responded wih S22, which vas promptly fol- lowe by Messrs. L. Zeckendorf and " Hi ms, each giving S5G0. Messrs. E. V. Fish. c. R. Drake, J. S. Woad, Ge, e,rse Cooler and Alex. Levin fol- lowei with handsome sums, and the list " cleaned up $l820.
 4 motion was made that the money should be offered Ihe county as loan, to be returned when the fluids can bc legally raised. This proposition ex- cited much discussion, and to make matters sure, Col Toole was appointed committee of one to solicit subscIip- tiOns, with two pr. po>;tIous 10 donors -one giving tue money outright to lie county, and the other loaaing the sum subscribed without in crest.
 Zeckendorf then oferel, instead Of his donation, 10 ioau he couuiy $250O without interest for the nee. SsaTy lime, and Mir Williams made like prcpo- sI,I0H.
 The meeting then adjourned.
