Assessors Find Four Sub

in the Harbor Until They
Were Found, Yesterday.
Especial to The TINES. }


Indiana Harbor, March 29.-Indana
was shaken from center to circumfer-
ence yesterday when it became noised
about that four subdivided blocks Of
city property had disappeared.
Major John McFadden, assessor for
Calumet township, and North Township
Assessor Bert Escher were the first to
discover the loss and for time c. A.
Yves tberg, vice president of the East
Chicago company. was under suspicion
of having made away with it.
1t was discovered. however. some
time later, out in the lake. the latter
having simply reached over and COB
bled it up.
Assessors Visit City.
Messrs. McFadden and Escher were
in Indiana Harbor yesterday for the
purpose of valuing the property along
the line that divides Calumet and North
Townships. They had gone over Buff
fngton way and at length found them
selves near the lake shore. They
thought they had finished the job when
suddenly Mr. Escher discovered that
there were four blocks of subdivided
property he had assessed four years
ago that were not accounted for in the
new list.
Wants Mac to Explain.
Assessor Fischer turned dark glance
in the direction of Major McFadden.

While THE TIMES has been keeping
the people of North township posted
on the building operations that are
projected, it has never printed a list of

A few skeptics are saying: "Oh. yes.
there a lot of people talking of
building, but their plans wal never ma
terialize. Wait until you see the work
actually commence and then we will
believe that the township is actually
in the throes of big building boom.'
For the benefit OF these THE TIMES

county funds To pay for them, the
territory gives whatever assistance
is possible For instance, when it
was decided to change the route of
the Los Angeles Phoenix roa0 race
to pass through San Diego, FL
Centre and Yuma. it was found
that that section Of the new route
lying in Arizona, passing through
Yuma and Maricopa counties, need
ed much repairing. For more than
a month the territory has had a
force N the field between Phoenix
and Yuma, repairing tn worst
spots along the road.
1t is only within the last few
months that AriZonans have really
received any great benefit from the
expenditures that have been made
during the last two and a half
years. The road from Bisbee u
Douglas was opened less than a
month ago. That particular stretch
of road is % miles long. one brave

good the road was, passed over 1t

bridge had not been finished. This
is merely one example of tn ex-
cellent work that has beer done.
Among the scenic wonders that
gradually will be made accessible

progresses are the Grand Canyon.

little. In addition to this the ter
ritory has repaired and put in con-
dition many miles of county roads
which il is planned to ultimately
incorporate in the state system.
At the present time there are
five bodies of territorial road
builders in the field. each under
the direction of an experienced
foreman who knows how roads
should be built in Arizona.
The road that is completed is in

There are numerous organiza-

clubs have been formed and last
spring the Arizona Good Roads
association was organized. That
organization held its first annual
session in Prescott in October and
has already accomplished much

No work begun by the people Of
the territory of Arizona, to be car
ried on by the people Of the state
of Arizona, is more important than
that Of good roads building. AS a
territory Arizona has made a be-
ginning upon a magnificent system
of highways which, when complet-
ed. will reach every county and
practically every city and town.
This work was undertaken be-
cause Arizonans had come To real
ize that they live in the midst of
the worlds most marvellous scenic
wonders and that as soon as those
wonders are made accessible. thou
sands of tourists will flock from
all points on the earth's surface
to see them, spending i'm Arizona
millions of dollars annually. An
other reason is that permanent
system of highways Will go FAR
toward solving the transportation
problem. Third, and probably the
most potent reason of all, was that
the people of the territory wanted
TO ride themselves over good roads,
whether they rode in automobiles,
carriages or wagons. and thus be-
come more familiar with the vari-
Gus wonders and delights of their
own great commonwealth.
1t is estimated that in the United
States alone, $25O,0O0 are wasted
annually on bad roads, while the
losses incident To bad roads run up
into the billions. The average
American farm is six miles from a
railroad and 5000, 100000 are spent
each year to transport raw ma
terials to points where they can be
shipped by rail to market or fac
tory. In Arizona the average farm
is much more than six miles from
a railroad and the transportation
tax upon her producers is heavier
than in many states. Had Arizona
not been so extraordinarily and un-
believably rich she could not have
afforded to have bad roads as long
as she did.

INFLUENCE OF THE AUTO.
The automobilist must be given
his share of the credit for the era
of road building and Of good roads
enthusiasm. The automobile owners
were the first to agitate the high
way question. we want good
roads that we may visit all parts
of the territory in our cars. they
said. As they were able to show
the farmer. the mining man and
the stockman that their interests
also would be served by good
roads. the bill was passed.

and for each days work a convict
received two days credit on his
sentence. Another suCh bridge is
being built under the same plan
across Salt River, at Tempe.
Maricopa county and public spir-
tied citizens thereof have built a
reinforced concrete bridge across
Salt river one mile south of PhOe-
nix. This bridge, which cost over
$4,000 was completed only last
sumner and is in reality a part of
the territorial highway system. The

COUNTY COOPERATION

One factor that has greatly as
sisted in making the road-building
crusade a success has been the cor
dial cooperation of the county
authorities with the territorial Of
ficials. Boards of supervisors and
county road superintendent have
done all in their power to give as
sistance and in many instances
work that could not have been ac-
complished without their assistance
has been completed. In some cases
the counties have built sections of
the road as far as the funds at
hand would permit. leaving TN G
rest to be done from the territorial
fund. A part of tn road south oil

pidly toward Phoenix, was bull'
with Yavapai county funds.
