The Arizona sentinel., 1911-08-24
From Fridays Examiner

ebould not on Labor Day, September 4, l gather every available team and every available man and in ONE day build a road from Yuma to the boundary line of Mexico, seems to have met with popular approval. Now listen. the Examiner claims nc originality of the idea. We are not looking for self aggrandizenent. We are not going to come out the day ait CT inc road is built and say: Look what we did"
 The Examiner is not built that way We are honestly and earnestly strl'- ing for the advancement and better ment of Yuma and the Yuma valley. In one hour the people of Iowa built road from border to border clear across the state.
 Ten thousand teams and over 15,OOO men were engaged in this great work Girard county, Ohio, built AZ miles of highway in one day.
 Many others have done the same thing.
 Now if others can do it why not Yu- ma?
 Are others more progressive than we are? Assuredly not?
 Do others need roads worse than we do? Assuredly not.
 Then whatever others can do, We ~r,,n
 Here are the views of few Yuma citizens seen by the Examiner to-day: COUNTY ROAD SUPERVISOR J. SMARR-Mr. Smarr says that the proposition looks good to him and he is willing to throw his efforts into the work. The county has sufficient funds to keep the road in repair if good road is once constructed, and MT. Smarr things that all the farmers along the 24 miles of road would be more than glad to donate their time and teams to finish the work even II all were not able to finish it in one day. He is heartily in favor of every body turning out on Labor Day to help build the first piece of good road for the valley, and says that he will do everything in his power to help 1t along.
 E. F. SANGUINETTI-I will donate as many teams as any one else does. and will do everything in my power to help the matter along, but 1 believe this: that you will have to lay out all the work beforehand; that competent men must be there to supervise the work. and that there ought to be some provision made for finishing after the one day is over.
 HOBART BROS.-Are willing to do everything in their power to boost the project and are willing to donate the price of one team and a man to work on Labor Day.
 THE PIONEER STABLES AND TRANSFER CO.-DONKERSLEY & ROCKWOOD-We want you to under stand that the Pioneer is behind yon in every move you make for good roads We think the idea a good one and the Pioneer will donate every available team-at least ten teams and drivers-for the work on Labor Day. It is the best stunt yet. Boost it along and don't let it stop. Yuma can do it. if other places can. We are with you to the last ditch.
 THE EXAMINER-Will close down on Labor day, will donate team and driver, and also the work of all its force at whatever they can do to help
 Attorney T. D. Molloy-Entirely ir favor of the idea and will do or donate his part. Yuma valley certainly need; the road. This is the chance to get i without raising the taxes or putting anybody out for more than. day ol two.
 THE YUMA HARDWARE CO., JOHNSON & INGLE-Perfectly will ing to do anything we can to boost th( matter along. Every business man II interested in good roads, and we vii donate or do anything that any othel business house will.
