-GARRITY RESENTS
 ATTITUDE OF BOARD
 OF FAPPORTIONMENT I
Attempt To Relocate Street Lights At Suggestion Of Tax
 Board Defeated

Following along the lines marked out by Commissioner W. T. Hincks of the Board of Apportionment and Tax ation, who believes the board is grad ually usurping the powers of the Com mon Council, Alderman Garrity of the Second district criticised the Board of Apportionment at a meeting Of the Common Council last night. Garrity succeeded in having two reports from the Lamps committee sent back to the committee.
 The immediate cause of the attack were two sweeping reports from the Lamp committee of the Common the subcommittee on lamps of the Board of Apportionment recently toured the city, and in deference to the wishes of the Board of Apportion- ment'S representatives, the Lamp committee sent in two sweeping re- ports last evening.
 One called for the discontinuance of large number of lights, and the oth- CT for the location of another big batch of lights. The effect was to transfer lamps from one location to another. The Lamp committee said the resulting economy would be about $$1O0.
 The first report calling for the abol- ishment of lights had scarcely been read when Garrity had the floor. He moved that the report be sent back 
 of the Lamp committee had a chance to speak, his motion unanimously pre- vailed.
 Then Alderman Paul Miller. chair man of the committee, spoke for the report He said it was only part of a general scheme laid out by the Board Of Apportionment and the IamD committee, for the reloca ton of iiehts He explained the method and the economy expected. Miller hadn't taken his seat when Garrity was on the floor. That's just it," sad Gar rity '"The Board of Apportionnent is usurping the functions of the Com mon Count q. With all due respect to the Board of Apportionment and Tax ation, the Common Council alone has the authority to locate lights"
 Garrity added that as member of the Lamp committee he looked out for his district. He said the Board of ApportionTnent has no right now to take lights from his district to place them elsewhere.
 Mironity Leader Primrose said he thought Alderman Garrity's fear of over to the Board of Apportionment was groundIess. Alderman Miller de- bored Garrity's ''unbustness-like" manner of looking at the proposition. and intimated that Garrity's stand was taken for fear of losing prestige with his constituents
 Garrity at once took exception. ''I heard oniy two locations in my dis trict mentioned in the report I don't want to be accused of playing to the grand stand. merely want the AL iermen to have their rights withou I'm not so narrow mind ed as to look on only my own district 'n this matter"
 When Alderman Primrose explained that the report that had been sent lack to the committee was inte-woven with another, and that both should be considered together for Intelligent ac- ion, the matter was taken from the abe.
 The second report, ordering the re- 'ocation of lights, was then read, and Alderman Walker promptly moved hat both reports be referred back to he committee The motion was car ried by a vote of 14 to g. Alderman

 PatrOIman'S Hand
But Officer Grossman Had His Billy Handy and Jaco- boski Was a Sick Looking Mess This Morning.

Jacob Jacoboski, while under the influence of the booze that beers and inebriates, ran into Patrolman Jacob Grossman in the wilds of East Bridgeport last evening. The patrol man, seeing Jacoboskfs condition, first urged him to go home and then. when the man refused, started to run him in.

Bullion.

It is the general impression among the members of the State legislature that there will be return to the old method of taxation of mines, the whole subject of taxation being left to the county assessors and the State com. mission. There has been introduced a measure to tax the mines at 50 per cent of the gross value of the product, instead of 25 per cent, as under the old law The agricultural counties will make quite an effort to pass this bill, but it will be vigorously fought by the mining counties as one of the most unjust measures so far introduced. The injustice will be done to the small shippers of base ore, where the profit is small, as in the case of the low grade lead and zinc shipments from this county. The large mines cannot be hurt very much by it, but there should be some distinction given the mines that are compelled to ship thelr pro- duct to outside smelters.

beauty. Over the River from the Diamond Canyon mouth is what is known as the Witches Hole and the Devils Cauldren, two of the most weird spots on earth. Throughout the whole region are spots so beautiful that they pass the belief of the most vivid imagination.
 But nevertheless, the people of this county will build road and it will be dedicated to the use of the public, feeling sure that none of the automo- biists will be so foolish as to take any other route to the coast.

That National Highway.

The people of Flagstaff are aroused to the fact that the people of the southern tier of counties are making a concerted effort to get the National Highway through their section Of the country and on their part are bent upon getting it through the north part of the state, where some of the grand est scenic wonders of the world are to be found. But the people of our sister counties are asking us to aid them and at the same time sending out litera- ture indicating their desire to run this highway south from Ash Fork to Prescott, on to PheniA and then south- westerly to Yuma, San Diego and Los Angeles. Now, If they are to obtain the aid of this county they must give this county a run for it's money by
 pointing out the fact that we are on the direct line of travel to California and that thls is the best all-the-year route from the east to the west. There is practically no sand to over. come on the route and motorists can travel over it any day in the year. Many important points of interest are on the route across this section, and at Peach Springs the grand canyon IS only twenty miles away. At this point, according to the report of Malor Powell, the canyon is grander than at any other place from the Gate of Ladore to Iceberg canyon, dis
 tance of more than 300 miles of the grandest canyon scenery on earth. Diamond Canyon is one of the scenic places, as are also the great caves.
 North of Crozier is Muttwitica spring,
 where the Wallapai Indians legend says man was first created, and many other places of historic interest and
