which will be OF great importance
ia determining the rights Of this
city under franchises granted. One
of them Ia brought to test the

pie begin to hack at their charter,
would Il not be well to find out by
the decision Of these cases what

brought to bear by people 10 out
lying districts who are demanding
extensions at any sacrifice 10 the
interests OF the city as a whole,

BIG BRIDGE WILL
SPAN THE HUDSON

NEW YORK, March 26-As a
result of recent developments it
now seems probable before the snow
flies this city will see an actual be-
ginning on the greatest bridge in
the world, which when it is COM
pleted in 1920, will unite Manhattan
and New Jersey in a mile and half
long span across the Hudson, cost
ing, it is estimated 100000. To
cover this sum the legislatures of
New York and New Jersey will
shortly be asked to authorize a bond
issue and as soon as that is done
actual work will be begun, with the
cost to be shared about equally by
the two states According to the
plans prepared by the engineers hav-
ing the matter in charge, the actu-
al work on the bridge itself will cost
$29,0O0,OO0. 1t is figured that it will
cost $5,000,000 more to acquire the
necessary property, 100000 to take
care OF interest charges and other
financial expenses and 100000 for
engineering work and contingent ex-
penses. One of the features of the
bridge will be its great central span
which will be the longest in the
world, ESQ feet from tower to tow
er. The bridge itself from Ninth
Avenue to the Hudson county boule-
yard will be $500 feet long. The
bridge will have a greater capacity
than any yet constructed. Provis-
ion has been made for two subway
lines, two elevated lines and four
trolley car lines. There will also be
two driveways, each thirty-six feet
wide. No provision has been made
for steam traffic All trafi will flow
along one level, allowing for ready
transfer in case OF congestion or
blockades. The big suspension
bridge, as planned, will clear the
surface of the river by 10 feet.
thirty-fve feet higher than any of
the East River bridges. The towers
which will support the roadway will
be of steel and 545 feet high. At the
base the towers will be 2O4 feet
wide. The plans call also for two
tunnels to be used in connection
with the bridge.

plication of the rule expressio unius
est exclusio alterius, to the construc-
ton of public buildings. Even the
right to issue bonds for the pur-
pose of raising funds for the con-
struction of public buildings has evil
IDENTIFY been given narrow con-
struction by public officials, as vari-
Gus special acts have been passed
by the legislature since 1901, speci-
6cally authorizing different counties
to issue bonds for court houses and
jails.
The statutes relating to bridges,
highways and roads confirm the view
that the county may not issue bonds
for road purposes. Chapter 70, Laws
of 1909, relating to the construction
of bridges, provides that the funds
for the purpose must be raised by
special taxation. The body of laws
on county roads found in Chapter
of Title LXIII, Statutes 1901, as
amended by Chapter 63, Laws 1909,
specifically state that the moneys
for roads shall be secured by a tax.
The Special Road District Act,
Chapter Go, 1907, which l believe
is still in force, authorizes special
road districts to issue bonds; but of
course this is not authority for the
county to do so. By broad appi-
cation of that Act, the whole Coun-
ty might be created into one special
road district, and bonds issued, but
this would be a makeshift and likely
impracticable.
Chapter g, Laws Regular Session
1912, is a comprehensive act on the
method of issuing bonds generally,
where it is necessary to create an
Indebtedness beyond per cent, but
that Act does not give any addition
al powers to counties to issue bonds
other than given by existing laws.
In conclusion, | have to reiterate
that at present there is no power
in the County to issue bonds for
road building. have been told,
however, that the Legislature has
pending before it an Act to author
ize counties to issue such bonds.
Under the broad provisions of Sect.
8. of Art. TX, Const. of Arizona, it
would seem that such a law would
be a proper exercise of Legislative
power.

industry of our country to the end
that all the people in this great
country may ultimately be benefit
ed"
1t is the opinion of Attorney-Gen-
eral Bullard that the constitution
does not authorize legislation pro-
viding for a State bond issue for
road construction. This puts by the
possibility of State bonds now. Ow-
ing to this fact several of the coun-
ties have taken steps to issue county
bonds. Mohave County at an cleo
ton held February 18th voted al
most unanimously for an issue OF
S100O0000; Apache has determined
to issue a certain amount, and Yava-
pal has under consideration an issue
of $2O0,O0000. This county activity
will result, if successful, in securing
Arizona's just proportion of the
very large traffic to the San Fran
cisco and San Diego Expositions in
1915.
The present legislature has done
its duty in aid of this matter by
its recent amendment of the law au-
thorizing counties to issue road
bonds. Those who really want per
manent and general road improve
ment should be encouraged.

GETS MONEY DUE
HIM FOR As YEARS

SPOKANE, March 26.-Three
dollars and fifty-two cents due him
for 4S years for services as soldier
in the Civil war have been received
by David H. Barnhart of Kellogg
Idaho, an mining town east of Spok-
ane. OF this amount $3.50 con-
stituted short pay and 90 cents for
shortage on clothing. The money
is in no wise a pension. Mr.. Barn
hart was a private in Company F.
36th Iowa Infantry, and partici-
pated in battles at Vicksburg, Little
Rock, Elkins Ferry and Camden and
was captured in the battle of Mark
Mills. He was taken to Tyler
Texas, and imprisoned for nine
months, being taken afterwards to
Red River and exchanged. He was
mustered out OF the service at Du
Bald, Arkansas. 1T is a long time
to wait for money" said Mr.. Barn
hart, but the government seems
never to forget us. | can say with
ont hesitation that it is the longest
time l ever waited for money. Still
if everybody got money due them
for 48 years, we would have nc
complaint to make"
