HIS IDEA OF
 ROAD RESULTS

What ] wart to see the automobile club do, and what am going to work for as member. is to get busy with the muscle of it's members and make it count while We are waiting on the
 coming of these various county and
 state moneys, gained by appropria
 tons, bond issues. etc. through the general tax system.
 U. Haythornewhite. autimobile for
 hire man. Expressed himself as ahoya yesterday and incidentally outlined a plan that called upon the individual 10 do things for himself. and in a way that would certainly gain large public acclaim.
 What I want to see" continued Haythornewhite. 'is a rule fixed by the automobile club calling On every member to give a half of one day in each week to road work rhers should De no excuse from doinS this worl. except actual illness. The providing of substitutes by paying some one should not be tolerated. ! would have a fine fixed for every member attempt ing to get out of his share in the work in that way.
 ~Let the board Of directors pick out certain piece of road that is badly In need Of attention Then let club members 20 to that piece of road in a body on 8 fixed morning in each week and work five hours, every mem Der to take along tools and to work under the instruction Of a foreman. someone picked from the membership who understands road building.
 Six months of this kind Of work would raYolutionize roads in and about Bisbee. and we would have the county and state funds 10 put in additional improvement work. Besides, if the club members would take the lead in the result getting, earnest way that have suggested. they would do more toward creating sentiment in favor of good roads and the voting of ade- quate money to get them than could be done in any other way. By fol lowing the plan of really doing worl, themselves. they would show interest of the real kind, and farmers and everybody else would soon be joining in and helping them.
 Six months Of that kind of work | by the automobile club members would l do so much good that they would all 1 he hustling to continue the program i six months longer, and would also find everybody trying to get member ! ship in the club. There is nothing in 1 talk, It is results that count. and automobile club managers by going to | work or the roads themselves would | get the results. and get them in q l good and permanent way that would distance any road work before done in this county or that is likely to ever be | done by the ordinary sort of labor that I is got to do this work. Brains count just as much in doing good road work as they do in running successful bus mess and believe me the automobile l owners would show them some things about good work as well as fast vorl | they took up the plan ! have SUE. gested. Put Captain Hodgson. or Can tam Greenway at the head of the rosd l Building job and have them direct the 1 work Then We would have an expert ' on me job, one who understands how 10 do things and through having had To make mining property roads under all sorts os conditions. They are more competent than anybody else in the oistrict to tell us how to go about get ting lasting results.
 Take the strip of road tO the Coun- try club, for instance. il is dis grace in it's present condition. ana yet we have to bump over it eza-,. chcc iu while rot only with our hoiDe people but also with dieiln- gL'si-ed yiests ,a the disrric;. 10 their discomfort and the actual danger of damage to our machines. to say noth- Ing oI the risk of accidents. That read could be put in prime shape in two half days of work by the mem bers Of the automobile club. For most oi these members the plan would af- ford real holiday outing and give them all kinds of fun as we'll as need ca exercise. At the same time they would be accomplishing big things in road improvements and winning the commendation and thanks of every. body in the county Me for the doing
