THE NEED Is URGENT


 Speaking of the condition of roada in the vicinity of Bisbee yesterday well known business man of this city stated that it was surprising tact that although there had never teen so much agitation for good roads as there has been this spring, never be fore had the roads hereabout been in such eXecrable condition. The reo. pie generally who use the roads are daily yOicing a louder and still louder complaint on this subject as was shown by a letter received by the secretary Of the Commercial club yesterday and upon which action will immediately be taken. It is only one of numerous letters that has brought about the proposed action which will take the form Of a generally signed petitiOn-letter.
 The writer to the Commercial club calls the attention 10 the road from Lowell to the Country club and states that those who complain are not so much those who are out on pleasure bent. as business men who complain that they cannot make time in delig- cries or if they do they break bottles containing milk. vinegar or other H. quids. eggs. even their wagon springs. He calls attention to the fact thar for the rast six months there has been no road oveTseer and for the past month not even any prisoners working on the read He asks an in- quiry as tO why their is no district Overseer although for the past twenty years there had been one, why there is no upkeep work being done now as there was in the past and asks for the circular petition letter. a copy to he sent to each member of the board of supervisors. Such a petition will be prepared today and will be i'm mediStely circulated.

He is quoted as saying that the oiling of Naco road would benefit on ly the autoists Issue was taken with him yesterday by an advocate of the oiling of that piece of road who does not own an automobile lie st ted that the aItomobilist was the least benefited. Said he When one is driving a motor car he keeps fairly well ahead of the dust and throws the dust up behind This floats into the faces and upon the clothes of those driving in wagons. walking or riding sn hn dred of those who would be benefit ted tv a abatement of the dust nu isance on the most travelled road in the vicinity to one autoHObilist. The proposition to oil the road is for the benefit of the people who live along il, who traverse it, for all the people I should like to see all Of the streets business and residential. oiled but tkb proper place to start, in my estimation is the most travelled section, and that is the Naco road to the city line Co meet the work the county is to be gin next week"
 The supervisors promised a certain definite sum Of money for the roads of the district and the people here. al outs are wondering what has be. come Of the prosiIse made 10 the good read boosters on their first visit to Tombstone.
