amount of new road, as was necessary for use of the residents of the country.
 And whereas, the past policy of the board of supervisors of the county has resulted in decidely unsatisfactory roads throughout the county, such as are not suit able for the best use either by automobiles or for hauling of heavy loads,
 Be it resolved, that it is the sense of the Northern Arizona Good Roads Association that in order to have good roads in the county it is necessary for the county first to determine upon a definite basis of permanent roads located by actual survey and laid out in accordance with the. exist ing state laws; second, that the bulk of the expenditure for road work of each year should be put into permanent roads; third, that the first permanent road through the county to be considered should be the main east and west road along the railroad, and that the north and south roads should be constructed later as funds are available; forth, that 1t would be to the greatest advantage of the county to have the permanent road constructed by contract, in accordance with the latest scienti- fic methods, and under specifica- tions which will make this abso- lutely certain; said construction work to be done under the super vision of the county surveyor and county road superintendent; fifth that the board of supervisors should permit no re-established road to be closed or fenced by homesteaders, ranchers or others until road equally good shall be constructed and approved by said board of supervisors.

his record as Governor of Ohio for two
terms. From all parts Of Nebraska come
assurances that Gov. Harmon Will carry
Nebraska at the primaries to be held on
April 10. and that he will have the six
teen delegates from that state to the
Baltimore convention.
while Gov. Harmon is making a whirl-

Bryan will invade Ohio in an attempt to
prevent the former from having a solid
delegation from his own state. No one
who is familiar with the situation in
Ohio entertains the slightest idea that

any effect on the situation other than to
accelerate the efforts of Gov. Harmon's
