SOUTH SIDE
 RESIDENTS Offer a Plea For a Center
 Street Bridge TEN GOOD REASONS WHY
TheFirst is That 13, ,000 Acres of Cultivated Land, Includ- ing Oldest Ranches in the Valley May at Last Be Re- moved From Isolation.

residents of the Phoenix South Side section, appeal to the intelligent citi- Zens of this county to vote for the | Center street bridge.
 We feel that our large section has a just right to share in the advan- tages of a bridge for many reasons, some of which are as follows: FIRST-The present large tax as- sessment levied on our large section, approximating 37,000 acres, over | 5000 of which are under cultivation, including some of the oldest acres prepared and ready for the assured government water supply soon to be | furnished.
 SECOND-The large bonus we are | giving for this bridge.
 THIRD-We have thousands of people in our section including the In- dians, all of whom wish to use the Center street bridge.
 FOURTH-That the tragedies of the Salt river may be stopped. FIFTH-That the present large and rapidly increasing travel between our section and Phoenix be accommodate ed, hundreds of rigs and people eros sing in a day, and that we may have more rapid progress in our section and enjoy the advantages of a bridge in connection with the other south side sections and be able to obtain supplies and medical aid quickly from Phoenix.
 SIXTH-We do not wish to be compelled to go to Tempe for trade, etc, it being many miles out of the fnt of a round trip to Tempe being 25 to 40 miles from parts of our setcion or 40 to 50 miles to Phoenix via Tempe. Many of our people are of limited means, but should be treated fairly and hu- namely. We protest against the many unfair and unjust insinuations, mis-statements, etgc., of some of the Tempe advocates.
 SEVENTH-The Tempe bridge campaign is largely for the benefit of her merchants, who wish to maintain the barrier of the Salt river between our large section and Phoenix, they would jeopardize our lives for the sake of trade. Will you not assist us in our efforts to overcome this bar rier and assert our just rights.
 EIGHTH-Tempe having a railroad bridge and good daily train service to Phoenix, her needs for a bridge are not great like ours.
 NINTH-Tempe thus far not hav- ing joined the reclamation project, has held back progress in our section. the government desiring to put in a joint system for our two sections. however, the government will not all low this to delay operations in our section much longer, (See interview with MT L. c. Hill, Arizona Republi- can, March 25th) do not let our pro- gress be still further throttled in the future as it has been in the past by placing the bridge at Tempe
 TENTH-The construction of the Center street bridge practically as- sures an electric route from Phoenix through our large section and center of Tempe section to Mesa, etc.
 Vote for the Center street bridge and help us build bridge that will be for progress and for the benefit of all sections of the Salt River valley.
