COURTLANO IS
 hOT SATISFIED
Turquois Districts Demand for More Road Monies Answered by Chairman
 Gus Hickey
HAS HAD FULL SHARE

Courtland people are up in arms according 10 reports, for better roads and insists that they have not had A fair share of road work in their Nt einity during the past year Accord ing to the Courtland Arizonan the people of that district are seriously considering an ultimafum 10 the board of supervisors and the county road superintendent to the effect that they will not pay in one cent Of road tax but instead win work out or have worked out the road taxes or the residents whereabouts upon the surrounding roads. This article brings forth a reply from Chairman Gus Hickey of the board Of super Vlsors and expressed in an interview with Review representative yes. terday:
 No Cause for Complaint.
 tonrtland has no cause for com plaint, says Chairman Hickey. That district has had more than it's share or the county road fund and Is 10 have still more If there are any people who have a right to complain IL IS those who reside in the south eastern part of the county. Bisbee
 
 have come nearer this year than in past years in getting a fair appropri3- ton but they have by no means oh- tained what they should have despite the efforts made by the Commercial Club. But Courtland has had more than it's share,
 Money Is Expended.
 Tn the AriZOnan," continued Mir. HfnknV ha EH .F men employed in the Turquoise min ing district Well, even if so. that district received for one piece of work $500 and there is the total amount of that road tax spent in the district Besides that we have had men employed on road repair work almost constantly during the year in that district and there has not been a month when the Turquoise district has not received some road funds in addition to that $500. Tn addition 1 to this the road from Forrest 10 Win. COX, planned for next year, will run | through Eourtland and will give them a splendid highway up and down the ! valley
 Comparison Is Made.
 Considering what thd Turduoise | district pays in taxes and comparing | that with what the Warren district | pays there is certainly no cause for complaint. The Warren district through the Commercial Club. stated l they would be satisfied if from two- thirds to three-fOurths of the pro porti0nate part or the road fund rais- ed therein be spent or it's benefit and would willingly give the balance for providing better roads in the rest Of the county. They have not received 1 the sum they said they would be sat isfned with but as ! said have come | nearer tban in the past Now the Turquoise district has had more than it contributed and is asking for stall more. lf all parts Of the country were treated as they ask to be all Of the taxes raised in the southeasterIy part would go elsewhere
 T think Courtland has been well treated and has no cause for com plsinr
 5isbee Is Hopeful.
 Bisbeeitss generally will be glad To see Courtland seeking better roads. They have worked for an improve. ment in the road between this city and Courtland and a portion oE the money so spent, the larger portion has been considered as spent for the benefit Of this district as in the case Of between here and Tombstone and here and Hereford and Fort Hua- | ohuca. The road that is proposed froa Forest to Wilcox and whiah passes through Courtland will also be considered as Of benefit to this dis. ! trict. But the good rosdsters of Bis
