Promises are Made
Last spring a delegation OF about

Lowell and to the state highway. At
that time il was demanded that S..
000 be spent for the benefit OF the
district and $4,000 for the south
end of the county and to this the
supervisors agreed. Recently the sec
rotary of the Commercial club has
been investigating road expenditures
and has learned that a sum in excess
Of ,Sfdpo0 was expended by the pres
ent hoard up to August /. OF this
a portion was spent for salaries. tools.

from The county road fund and Ben
son will it appears, be equally as
we'll looked after. A car of culvert
was used on Wilcox work, this being
valued at S105S.SI and the total eXpen-
ditures for the benefit Of the Northern
town has reached S425S.5S.
But little Of the Benson accounts

However at Texas Canyon, which
must be charged against the Benson
section. between $500 and 81 900 has
been spent, and the first few weeks
work cost several hundred dollars
more. When the bills are all In for
that work it is not expected 10 fall
short of Wilcox bills Douglas has
had only S722.42. At Hereford there
has, been spent $7iO.42 Of which
s434 40 was on the bridge and a part
Of this sum is for the benefit OF Bis
bee and Douglas.
Voice Their Complaint
Local good road enthusiasts and
taxpayers, especially those who made
the trip to Tombstone that has been
mentioned are much displeased at the
showing thus far made and do not
hesitate to so express themselves and
declare that when the redistricting
comes IT must be SO arranged that
the upper part of the county shall not
be represented by two members on
the board and the tax producing sec
ton by but one. They are watching
the work carefully and il the prom
ises made to them shall not be kept
there will be heard some very caustic
remarks.
