 A BRIDGE TANGLE-The board 1 of supervisors yesterday visited the | scene of operations at the Center | street bridge on the complaint of | Inspector Collins that there has been ! d departure from the plans The in | spcCtor says that more steel is be- ing used than the plans call for; so | much, in fact, that there is not room | enough for all the concrete required. l Steel costs more than concrete. but | the inspector believes that there may ! be too much of a good thing Con tractor Mercereau and one of the ar ] chitects are expected here within a day or two, when the matter will be strengthened out
 SENTENCES COMMUTED-Gov- ernor Sloan commuted the sentence of two convicts for good work on the ter ritorial bridge at Florence, so that | their sentences expired, on July 25 and 23 respectively. One was Jose M. Lo- peg sentenced in Yavapai county to
 serve fifteen months from August 26. 1909. for grand larceny. With good time his sentence would expire September
 25 and with a credit for sixty-two days work he was released July 25. The oth-
 CT was an Indian named Lamone, sen
 fenced in Phoenix to serve one year from November. 6, 1909. Ills time would have been out September 6. but forty-five days of good work brought
 him liberty on the 23d.
 A GOOD INDIcATION-The assess
 ment rolls of the various counties hove been a little slow in reaching the office of the territorial auditor this year and the returns are still await ed from Graham, Mohave, Santa Cruz and Maricopa counties, though the latter is about ready and the total is known approximately. The figures at hand from the nine counties show an increase to date over the territorial roll of year ago amounting to S2,6OO.- 900. Whether there will be d further increase in the counties not heard from remains to be seen but if they merely hold their own the valuation of the territory this year will be some thing over sS5.OOO, 900. against sS2.6S4.- 062.56 last year.
 HIGH SCHOOL IMPROVEMENTS The trustees of the Phoenix Union High school yesterday instructed Architect J. NJ Creighton to sub init plans and an estimate of the expense of transforming the little rooms on the fourth floor of the high school building into class rooms. The building is crowded to overflowing and something must be done for the accommodation of new students. The fourth floor of the buildinig. which was not designed for school purposes when it was constructed, has noti hitherto been used by the school. As it now stands it is not suitable. but with a little working over it is thought the space can all be util- ized to good advantage, clear to the roof
 ANOTHER PANTS" CASE-A pc culiar case not yet settled, is that Of Mark TOkespe:a. full blooded Ameri- ! can of either Pima or Maricopa lineage. Mark appeared at the Boston store with pair of trousers he said he had | bought there, but they were just tri- fle too long to suit his idea of sartori- | al perfection and he wanted them cut off or a reef taken in the surplus fabric. The store management immedi ately recognized the trousers but said they belonged to a suit and would not have been sold separately. from which | they reasoned that the pants had been stolen and caused the arrest of Mark i as the probable thief The Boston store l like other people in Phoenix at this time will have to wear it's trousers if IL NdHlS lp http lItll run bClil5 l stolen. Phoenix is suffering from a l crime wave of pants thieves. Nobody l is safe and since the temperature has | let up little even the dogs are losing | their pants
