TUCSON WANTS A GREAT WHITE
 AVENUE
Proposed to Light Up Congress Street With Brilliant Arcs and Make it BeSt. Lighted Street ] fdAfRonf

TUCSON. Sept 12-Tucson is to have a great White Way, and it will De Congress street. At least the business men along that avenue of trade are considering the proposition. ana fl everything is satisfactory the deal will De put through with a rush.
 Everyone has heard of the manner m which Broadway, in Los Angeles. IS lighted up at night, and a good many people rom Arizona have Lad the pleasure of seeing the display.
 IL is the intention Of the Tucscn merchants to secure arc lights Of the 7S'TTI0 pattern as are used on Broad #ay, and if reasonable rates will be given them by the electric light com pany. three lights will be put on each block-one at each end of the block and the other in the middle. . This will make Congress street the best lighted thoroughfare in the ter ritcTy and one of the best in the coun- try If the proposed deal goes through and it is thought that it will, gradually from time to time additional lights will be added to the original number until 10 o'clock at night Congress street will be as it is at 10 o'clock in the day.
 This will not only mean additional Saturday night trade for the up-to- date business men on that street, but 1t will give Tucson a reputation all over the country for energy and pro sressiveness.
 In the past few nights there have been several informal meetings of property owners and business men along Congress street On all sides Interpretation to make Congress street great white way has been enthusiastically received.
 A number of business men have already expressed their willingness to go down in their pockets and pay their share for the opposed improve ment.
 A meeting of Congress street busi- ness men and property owners will be called in few days at which time the matter will be formally discussed
 While the original plan only in. cludes three clukters Of Rights on each side of the street for each block the number may be considerably in creased if satisfactory rates for the lighting can be arranged.

DRINKING FOUNTAINS PLACED

The two public drinking fountains purchased by the city and the foun- tain donated Douglas by the manufac- turer, Philanthropist Nelson of Nel- sonville, H., which arrived in Doug las some time ago, were today placed in the positions about the streets of the city where, in the opinion of AL dermen Simms and Greene, to whom was left the disposal of the fountains, they will be of most service to the public.
 One of the fountains Is at Eleventh and C. another at Ninth and c and the third on E avenue at the park. The two fountains in the downtown district have individual drinking places for people, horses and dogs and the fountain at the park is very sifai- lar, differing from the other material | ly only that 1t does not provide a drinking place for dogs.
 The fountains are all of handsome 1 design and will prove municipal orna- ments as well as utiities.-DougRs h. iternational American

LACK OF CARS IS

against the rule in favor of their ac tion The result of voting this prop
 ositiOn down is that we have absU
 lutely no rule in regard to the prope handling of foreign cars and the American Railway Association stands before the public as having neglected to provide any means by which the owner of roadway equipment can get 1t back. So far as the rules govern ing foreign cars are concerned there are none. It is very evident that We shall do in the future as we have in the past-return foreign cars to own CTS when it suits our convenience, and when otherwise. retain them. If my reasoning correct, the failure to adopt the prposals recently submit ted to letter ballot seems inexcusa- ble."
 Midgley calls attention to the fact that in every other line of business, the lender controls the conditions un- der which he parts with his property temporarily and the borrower has to submit to the conditions, whereas the borrower controls the cars he Dor rows and returns them whenever he sees fit, leaving the owner to whistle for his property at critical times.
 The effect of the present system of interchange of freight car equipment upon the business interests of the country is almost beyond the imagin- alton to comprehend. The know ledge that uAnan- fraioht- -aanlAnIza-aL Its rails a company never knows where it will wander and when it will return often leads big systems to re fuse business which demands a through routing without transship- ment preferring to keep their cars on their own rails. Railroads. which, like the Illinois Central, originate a vast amouN of traffic, cannot ad- here to such plan without severely crippiing their local industries.
