Of the empty columns that must be

that he was doing himself an injury
to say good by to all those readers

to be a something tangible between
them and him, tie that bound.

With smile upon his face, the young

the scene of his labors and whispered
softly:

THE ROADS CONDITION
 ID BE INVESTIGATED
BY A RESPONSIBLE PARTY OF
 TEMPE MEN.
To Prove Whether or Not a State ment Made in These Columns Was Correct.

In an article that appeared in yes terday's Republican, it is intimated that the manager of the Tempe de- partment, in arguing in favor of the Tempe site for the bridge across Salt river, had deviated largely from the truth in a statement made con corning the cost of constructing a road from the south end of the pro- posed Center street bridge to Mill avenue
 The people of Tempe promptly arose yesterday in defense of the statement made by the writer and in order to fully demonstrate whether or not the writer was in error in making the statement in question, a committee of from six to a dozen re- liable Tempe men will, tomorrow, go over every foot of that road and make a thorough investigation of it's exact condition. These men will not be se- lected at random, but will be men who have had some experience in road building and who may be relied upon.
 IL is not denied that the road in question has been in use for twenty years or more. and is as good at present as the average country road it is contended, however, that in com parison with the present Tempe Phoenix road on the north side of the river. it is poor indeed. A detailed report of the finding of the com mittee will appear at an early date.
