BOARD NEEDS COMMITTEE
 ION BRIDGES AND FERRIES
The Most Urgent Business Before the SupervisoS Relates to Thorough fares.

The business of the board of super visors since the first day of the pres ent regular meeting has consisted mostly in listening to suggestions and complaints about the thoroughfares and means of communication. On Tuesday a large delegation of repre- sentative citizens of Tempe and the south side called in relation to a bridge across the Salt river. The delegation did not insist upon immediate action but desired to lay before the board the advantages of that location for bridge when one is to be built.
 Yesterday afternoon most of the res idents of Glendale and vicinity were

 mittee, Gentlemen:
 Your letter addressed to MT. J. c. Adams has been referred to us by him. In reply We wish to say your com munication suggests a star chamber committee to discuss and determine that which concerns the whole repub- lican party of Maricopa county. Fraud has been perpetrated not only in Phoenix Precinct No. l but in other precincts of this county. It is our opinion that it is for the best interests of the Republican party of this county that these acts of fraud should be pre- scented for consideration upon the floor of the county convention. Particularly do we hold to this view when you sug gest that your proposed committee shall not have the right to demand the production of any documentary evil dence in the case.
 Your very truly.

This will mean large amount of cutting done by the board of finance and just what has suffered will be learned with great interest. Tho estimates will be made public property tonight but tho board of al- dormeu will do nothing with them be- yond referring them to special com. mttee for consideration.
 An important matter which will come up for decision tonight Ia that of the widening of Chapel street be- tween Olive and East. of Church street and Of Grand avenue. The report of four members of the committee favor; granting the widening of tho tracks while 8 minority report against thI' action has been put in and there i' considerable sentiment in favor of the adoption of the minority report The fight on this matter Is likely to hs s lviely ona,
