directed to make n set of plans for a
new system and did So payment to

the sale of the water bonds were in
the possession Of the city. That occur
red some time ago but owing to the
fact that the city had taken up the
project Of buying the old plant. this

presented for any of the other indebt-
cdness contracted by the commission.

OUR PUBLIC ROADS

Williams, Ariz., June 27, O7. Editor NEWS:
 A matter of vital importance to every community is that of it's public roads Every tax payer and every resident of county should, at all times, be keenly alive to see that our road moneys are so expended as to be of most benefit to the greatest number of our people and applied where the travel is greatest.
 It is a lamentable fact that the public road from this town to Chalender. Maine, Bellemont. Rior dan and Flagstaff, which should be made not only a business road, but a pleasure driveway. is in very poor. condition. The same can be said of the road between Williams and Ash Fork. Both these high ways should be put in first clast order, and with the moneys now in our county treasury for road pur- poses, can be. if such moneys are not scattered out by our board of supervisors upon outside and obscure byways.
 This county (Coconino) had apportioned to it on the 18th day of March, of this year, by our last legislative assembly,, the cum ol $4.5S2 32 for the benefit of public roads and public schools, which money was derived from the 4,439,O9O acres of the public lands in our county set aside for forest reserves.
 Of this money our board oi supervisors has set aside $4O00 fol roads and the balance for schools  Besides this sum, our roads ars supposed to receive a road labol tax annually from every able bodied male resident over 21 ano under 50 years of age. not residents of an incorporated town. Hence thereis no reason why that, with our labor tax and this $4O00 more we should not have, at least, one ol two first class roads in this county for the convenience of our people
 This should interest every per son, and we should consider hoy their moneys should be expended

INVENTS PEAT MACHINE


 The inventor, NJ. c. Sharpneck, is we'll known in Williams, having resided here about five years ago:
 Although Germany. Russia and France have spent millions in try ing to perfect satisfactory peat producing machine, America has surpassed them.
 The machine is now in operation l in the town of Norfolk in this state It was invented by M c. Sharp neck. who has experimented with it since September, 1906, and is owned by Dr. s. D. Treble, of Al Boylston street.
 The machine is capable of taking 100 tons of raw material from the bog daily and with an engine of only 15 horse power converting it into briquettes fit for fuel-fuel apparently superior to anthracite. ! In general principle the machine resembles meat chopper. The raw material is shovelled into 9 hopper at the top. Beneath is a large cylinder, inside of which is a revolving worm and seven con- stantly revolving knives. As tho material hears the bottom it is subjected to pressure of 200 pounds It passes through the vent in an endless string, much resembling a fire hose in shape.
 A knife, conveniently near and regulated by wheel. cuts the end less string when it is released from the vent, into briquettes. The customary dimensions are Sx3x4 inches.
 Nothing of value is extracted from the peat in the process. The peat thus manipulated contains 35 per cent. of carbon. It forms ex- cellent fuel, glowing and hot, and produces practically no smoke. The residue consists of wood ashes (no cinders) worth $l5 or $2O d ton. The other components art acetic acid, parraffne GID alcohol and tar.
 The Canadian government re- ports that from one ton Of peat ' similar to that in Norfolk, 100000 : cubic feet of gas can be extracted | Assuming the peat to be worth $1 a ton in the bog, allowing 20 cents an hour for labor and allowing { : per cent. for depreciation or T machinery Illuminating gas could
 oe supplied at 2 cents thousand
 feet. Coal gas is of eight-candi. power strength; peat gas of 9 candle power.
 Containing no sulphur. 100 ton = of peat will make 25 or 40 tons o
 coke for smelling purposes.
 Geological survey has determined D that in New York state one acre il
 twenty is composed of peat
 primary coal; but simply rottet
 vegetation. In Massachusetts, i
 Is said that one acre in ten is 0
 peat-enough to last for centuries
 Three tons of peat removed iron
 the bog in Norfolk and passe'
 through the machine result in tw y tons of suitable fuel. To facilitat
 matters, Dr. Treble contemplate . planting a dredge in the bog ant
 erecting a chute to convey the ray
 material direct to the hopper ,e Word comes from the Auto $ mobile Club of London that 500, 1T proba bly,. peat alcohol will be sub ? stituted for petrol as fuel for auto 4 mobiles. The cost of alcohol ther l'5 has been B pence gallon, whic oa1 has hitherto prohibited it's use i ? motor cars. R. w. Wallace, K. c ss says chemical investigation ha found a means whereby alcoho yyss distilled from peat may be maLu II, factured and sold at considerab bl + profit for pence (6 cents) gallor IT 1t is said that it is safer to handI
