 of good roadssand made q strong de fense in behalf of the work that is already done and urged the citizens to take an active interest in build ing more good roads.

 sE help you celebrate the completion of the greatest step in the advance ment of Arizona that was ever un- dertaken. The building of good roads is the initial step in the ad- vancement of any state. l have not yet been over the Bisbee-D Douglas highway just completed but win do so some time today and thoroughly inspect the work and see that it is done right, and if it Is not done right l propose to see il made right before l leave my office. I have studied closely the road uues. ton with the best authorities in the country and with the leading engi. neers familiar with our conditions. and l am convinced that we have pursued the proper course and Sc. lected the best points for our begin. nings Of the great road building movement in this state"
 He then discussed the available methods for raising funds for con. timing the work and explained both the advantages and disadvantages of ievying a tax and doing the work by degrees, as well as the method of bonds and rushing the work. He did not favor either meth. cd particularly, but seems 10 prefer that the people themselves say what they want done
 If We expect to keep pace with our neighbor states. New Mexico and California, we must keep up the good work. It will bring people 10 the state who may eventually be- come residents here and good roads VIII advertise our natural wonders and induce the great army of tour ists to visit them. Nature has pre- sented them to use freely"
 In conclusion, the governor con. graduated the people Of the city for their progTessiveness and industrial advancement and prophesied that itI "DHAu thNi4tusaiAS bt the greatest city in the state.
