 :From Mondays Daily ExamIrer)
 H. H. Donkersley this morning re- celved the following letter:
 Prescott, Arizona, Oct 10. H. H. Donkersley, Director, A. G. R. A.
 Yuma, Arizona.
 Dear Sir:
 Enclosed is a copy of a resolution adopted by the Arizona Good Roads Association.
 We ave written to the board of con- trol requesting that the Territorial engineer visit your county either in person or by deputy, at the earliest possible moment, for the purpose of ascertaining your present county road ways, their condition, mileae, char acter of construction, character of ma terial and the best method of main tenance and up-keep. This is requested in behalf of all | the counties in the territory in order that a uniform method may be adopted by all the boards of supervisors of the territory, or at least, put before them for their consideration.
 We think it very essential that prop CT road machinery and implements be uniformly employed as far as possible.
 We would suggest that some of the counties may have heretofore failed to designate and properly plat the county roads as contemplated by law. In case this has not been done in your county, would it not be good idea to have it done as early as possi ble?
 Wish you would write to J. B. Gi rand, territorial engineer, Phoenix, in- viting his assistance in whatever way you deem best, in the promotion of your road work.
 In the meantime, 1 would appreciate it if you would send me a map, or general sketch of your county roads.
 Be assured that this association vii cooperate with you in every way pos sible toward the adoption and promo ton of uniform system of road work
 Signed:
 President Arizona Good Roads Asso-
