TRANS-TERR|TOR|AL HIGHWAY PLAN IF
 CLIFTON MAN
Dell M. Potter Tells Phoe- nix People of Plan for
 Another Road

Dell M. Potter of Clifton, is in the
 city partly for the purpose of seeing
 the fair. but more especially for the
 purpose of carrying out project in
 which he has been interested for the
 last two years, the construction of a
 trans.territorial highway to connect
 with similar highways on the yves
 and on the east. says the Phoenix Re
 publican.
 Mir. Potter was at work on this propo-
 sition long before the passage of the
 bill by the last legislature providing for territorial highway. He has se- cured the good will of the board of control and the assistance of the Unit ed States government. The only ob- stacle in the way is that furnished by the board of supervisors of Graham county and that will probably be re. moved shortly.
 It was Mir. Potter's idea that there should be good highway across the territory extending from the eastern border, through Clifton, along the Gila through the upper valley. thence to Globe, Roosevelt, Phoenix and west. Af- ter considerable negotiation, MT. Pot ter has induced the forestry service to expend $1l0.000 on a highway through the Apache forest reserve embracing the country east of Clifton and extend ing far into New Mexico to point where the highway will connect with scenic highway on which the terri tory of New Mexica has already spent a good deal of money. ',
 The forestry service was induced to enter into this arrangement on the con dition that Graham county should con- struct most difficult stretch through Clifton. After a conference with the supervisors Mir. Potter guaranteed to the government that this road would be built and the supervisors advertised for bids for construction. In reply only one bid was received and that was re- iected. A re-advertisement produced other bids but they were rejected as being too high. A third advertisement brought out a bid of $1,700 which is regarded as reasonable but the super visors have so far declined to take any action. The ground taken by the is that while at one time the board agreed to construct the road the agreement was made before the in; of Clifton. They now con. tend that since the territory lies with: in an incorporated town. they can spend no money on if. Mir. Potter has obtain ed sound legal advice to the effect that when the supervisors entered into a contract with him the territory was not within the corporate limits and since Ill acts mp to the present time were performed before the incorporation, the board is bound by the contract, -and ,an be made by mandamus to perform t.
 It is curious fact that a remon" ,trance against the building of the oad by the county has been signed by certain residents of Clifton whose ob- ection is that the proposed highway will not include the particular street m which they live or do business. But | he time for remonstrances has long ince passed. II
 In connection with his general high | yay project, Mrs, Potter induced the board of control to include Graham ounty in the levy of 25 cents for ter itorial highway purposes,
