to Take Up Matter of
Improvement of Bis
bee Highways
WARREN COMPLAINS

That in several years past the roads
leading out OF Bisbee have not been
in such bad condition as they are at
the present time WIS the statement
that was made to the directors OF
the Commercial club at their meeting
this week. II was said that the i'll
conditions complained of affected the
roads in all directions and that In
many instances they were practically
impossible while in others only the
lowest traffic speed is possible. The
need of immediate repair work was
called TO attention and that fact that
the district was not obtaining It's
proper proportion of road work and
promises made early in the year had
not been and were not being kept
was commented upon.
Following the statement made to
the directors of the club a motion
was adopted by them that the good
roads committee be asked to take up
the matter of road repair and i'm.
provement work with road Supervis-
or Benton, make an appointment with
him and ascertain what he can do
for Bisbee and the Warren district
in the way OF putting roads IA
shape, in at least making them passa.
bic.
WARREN Badly Treated.
Another complaint along the same
lines came from Warren. That town
after laying out its streets turned
them over to the county as county
roads and were promised that the
upkeep and maintenance would be
borne by the county. That this has
never been done was the source ot
complaint from the city beautiful e
II was stated that in three years past
not more than one week OF work
has been put upon the streets of War
rem by the county. 1t was said that
|, repeated promises have been made
but that nothing has ever material
| lied from those promises in the way
Of road work except the meager sew
| en- days work in more than HOO days
! that was mentioned.
Complaint is General.
One of the complainants before tho
| club stated that in all his experience
he had never seen the roads here
| abouts in worse condition than thcl
( are now. Another Of the directors
| said that despite the promise made
that Bisbee should have something
| like what it was entitled to for the
amount OF taxes which the Warner
district contributes. that the distric
had never been given less than this
year Still another added that prac
tically all the work that had bee!
done was the oiling of the road from
| the easterly city line through Lowell
to the state highway.
] II was the concensus of the Com
mercial club directors that action OF
behalf OF the people of the dlstric
was necessary and then followed TIL
motion that the matter be taken VI
by the roads committee with J.
Benton, the county superintendent o
roads and that he be asked what b
can do in the matter.
Early Action Is Sought
Those who usually make the tri
between Bisbee and Douglas by auto
mobile find themselves unable to d
so now. In the direction of Herefor
il is said that conditions are nearl
as bad. In all directions the road
have been found in rad condition an
some immediate action is deeme
necessary. The secretary of the clu
has therefore taken the matter u
with the roads committee which wi
in turn communicate with tie roa
superintendent and seek to obtai
work in the southeasterly part of th
county at the earliest possible m'
ment
