BUILD HE ROAD, SAY BUSINESS
 ME N
Electric line Up Canyon Simp- y a Matter of Providing Roadway Belief That City Should Go Ahead.

The Review man continued his in. terviews yesterday with business men in regard to the proposed electric franchise The following is the re- suit:
 Fred C. Hagen, Manager of tie Brokerage Firm of Pritchard, Hagen & Co.-Improvements, of whatever permanent nature, add dollars and cents, as well IS comforts and cen yeniences, to the people of any com Inunity. and those who bear the brnnt CT burden, by way of taxation, reap the greatest benefits, for they are the ones whose property values or pusI. ness enterprises are materially eu- hanced. Therefore, every taxpayer is furthering his own welfare and in- terests by fayoring a moyemen. for the installation of a street railway, for street railway, in my opinion, comes next in importance, as an iui- provement, to adequate sewerage and water systems. and good roads, for 2 city situated as is Bisbee. It is nee essary, of course, that these necessi- ties for the upbuilding of a model progressive city he secured on a square deaP' basis for all concern ed. The trustees If the city are in a position to better jldge as to wnat constitutes square deal as between their constituents and the company de sirous of obtaining the street railway franchise, and the manner in which that body has brought about most commendable changes and improve ments in BiSbee in the recent past is ample evidence that they would capa. bly, and honorabiy handle this ques- tiDn. Therefore, I say, if the com mon council as body is in favor of the franchise the people of the city will make no mistake by unanimous ly voting in it's favor. AS for the question of better roads, there is not single sound argument against the proposition
 D. ". Griggs-People of Bisbee are too contemplating to turn down a proy- osition that will increase the yaine of their property. All that is nec essary for the success of the ,oos. roads and electric line is a square deal. and the people back of this proposition can not afford to give rs anything else. A good street cal service makes a good town, a good town makes good roads. Let's have good town.
 F. s. CaldwelI-I am for the imme- diate Commencement of the road. We need that any way, no matter with what cost. What other company would come in here. unless they had large property mining interests, and take that franchise: In Butte and other places they have given 10 per cent of the real esCd.n sales to get them to build their car line into districts where there IS not as much ground as there is laying loose up Tombstone Canyon.
 Jas. I.etson--Are you still for the car line, MT Letson?s ''Yes, still for the car line. if they go up the can. yon; nothing more nor less"
 O. Turner-f am in favor of the car line if they go up the canyon. Think the City Council did very well in get. ting what they did from the electric people. We will never have any roads until they get to work. Should start that now, as we have no roads Want good roads anyway.
 Dan Angius, Groceries-Geo. c Buxton's views are mine. That is what I'll work for. It Is up to the citizens. property owners, business men and council to make this a great CT Bisbee- Help the Warren people
 T. H. Fitzpatrick, Merchant--I an certainly in favor of better road When there Is a storm 1t takes a cou pie of days generally before We car deiiver< up the canyon, and it is ex pensive delivering then.
 ". H. Clark. with Moore Fael 2 Feed Col think MT. Buxton express cd the opinion of everybody, or, al least I thtnk they should look al Il
