proof rests upon the defense in this

new STREET Law
OETR|MENT SAYS
BOARD WORKS
Contractors Were Notified
This Morning That 1t May
Be Necessary to Readver-
tise for the Bids.
ACT so COMPLICATED
HARD TO UNDERSTAND
Board Members Received Bids
And Opened Them Today,
But Intend to Receive Le-
gal Advice on Case.

When bids for certain street i'm
provements were opened by the board
of public works in the presence of the
bidders this morning, the provisions OF
the new public improvement law were
spoken of as an impediment. The
contractors were given to understand
that it may be necessary to start at
the beginning again and readvertise
for bids This would demand that all
steps that have been taken up to the
present time must be rescinded.
Very Complicated.
The provisions of the new law are
so complicated that the board. like
stand them. Legal advice is being
sought When the bids were opened
the city attorney was attending court
and could not be present. Copies OF
the new law have not been received sc
that no positive information can be re
ceived nor nothing acquired upon
which to base an opinion.
At Indianapolis the board has held
up all public improvement measures
1t has claimed all previous steps must
be taken over and bids must be read
vertised for. This means additional
expense a greater delay in awarding
contracts and a number of other incon
veniences. The situation is one hard
to fathom and the local board wanted
bidders to understand distinctly the
eonditions which prevailed when the
bids were opened.

DUEY TRIAL IS ID BE HAD VERY
 SOON

An agreement has been about reach ed between the attorneys for the pros ecution and the denfense as to the setting of the Duey embezzlement cases that are to be tried in Pima county before Judge Campbell. The date as agreed upon will be about October 25.
 The cases arise out of the failure of the late brokerage firm of Duey & Overlook and several indictments were returned against Duey charging him on several counts with embez- zling not only funds entrusted with the firm, but also with funds of the COchise Development company. The cases have been pending for several terms of court at the request of the defendant, it being alleged that he could scarcely proceed to trial with out the presence of Jams Gibbs, who was employed as bookkeeper for the firm and who is at present in the east.
 At the last term of the District court a change of venue was taken to Pima county, the attorneys for the de- fense alleging in the affidavit filed that the defendant could not secure a fair and impartial trial here on ac- count of the alleged feeling against him.
