Government Expert Says Arizona Roads Will Pay for Five Millions in Bonds in Ten Years Interesting Lecture.

M o. Eldridge, for the past twent" years an engineer in the office O. roads, department of agriculture, Washington. D. C., spoke before large audience at the Empress theater yes terday afternoon. Nearly every dele gate of the Arizona Good Roads asso- citation and the full delegation from the boards of supervisors of the seV- eral Arizona counties were present.
 Some of his hints to Arizona tax payers, concerning roads, were:
 Local road officials in Arizona should be appointed and not elected. in order to secure competent super vision.
 Road maintenance is as important as road construction.
 Arizona roads are as much in need of drainage as the roads of any other state, and to this end proper culverts

must not forget that good roads cost money.
 As soon as the road is completed, a maintenance gang should be placed upon it at once.
 You can build as many miles of good road in Arizona for $10,0OO, ,OOO as New York state can for $40,OOO,GOO.
 The tourist travel to Arizona over the roads which can be built with a $5,O00,000 bond issue will pay for that system in ten years

 The road should be crowned slight Iy and maintained wherever possible by draggin after rains. Dragging when the road is dry is more harmful than no dragging at all.
 Many of the roads of the state need relocation in order to eliminate steep grades and bad places.
 For traffic purposes a road is no better than it's worst place and the load which can be hauled to market is limited to the load which can be hauled through the worst place or up the steepest grade.

A great deal of the time of the senate yesterday was taken up with a discussion of the printing matter and the use of the label. In fact all the morning went this way and most of the afternoon session In the senate new bills were introduced and the Yuma bridge bill was passed and sent to the house. Pima county sent up a protest on the miners lien, and the State Federation of Labor asked permission to appear before the labor committee, which was granted. The bill requiring all state printing to be done in the state passed through the committee of the whole. was amended and sent to the enrolling and expressing committee.
 The Yuma bridge bill was discuss ed in the house in the afternoon and was ordered engrossed.
 In the House
 The morning session of the house was interesting and instructive from the standpoint of the legislature in terested in good roads, and at this time every member of both houses is interested because of the emin ence of the bill authorizing the issue of bonds for the construction of good roads. M. c. Eldgedge the government road expert was in vited to address the house. This he did in a most convincing manner. At the conclusion of his remarks q resolution of thanks was passed by q unanimous vote.
 A number of bills were read a sec Ond time The state institutions and public expenditures committee re- commended that 150O copies of the report of Auditor Callaghan be print ed This report contains d num- Der of arguments and figures di- rected at the methods employed by Governor Hunt.
