FROM
SERIOUS BURNS
Miss Bertha Gerke Lies at Home In
This City Suffering From
Terrible Burns She
Received.
CLOTHING CAUGHT FIRE
Her Clothes Were Burned Off From
Her Hips Down When the Flames
Were Finally Beat
en- Out.

Miss Bertha Gerke lies at the home
of Mrs. James Riherd, S22 Blondeau
street, swathed in bandages and suf-
fering from terrible burns received
about the limbs and back.
The accident happened about the
middle of the day when Miss Gerke's
skirts caught fire from an upstairs
stove. Losing her presence of mind
she ran wildly down the stairs and
through four rooms below. Mrs. RI
herd was attracted by her screams
and followed her through the house
trying to beat the flames out with
her coat
When Miss Gerke finally fell ex-
ilausted, Mrs. Riherd succeeded in ex-
tinguishing the flames with the coat
and another lady brought water. All
of Miss Gerke's clothes were burned
off from her hips down and her back
badly burned but the flames did not
reach her face She is forced to lie
face downward in bed and her burns
are very serious but unless some com
plications should set in there is little
doubt as to her recovery. AS soon as
possible she will be removed to the
hospital

UNABLE TO SAVE
The CITY MONEY
City Commissioners Find Hands Tied
in the Matter Of issuing $685.
900 Worth Of
Bonds.
ISSUED CERTIFICATES
Certificates for Improvement Work
Mean Six Per Cent interest
While Bonds Would
Mean Four.
ISSUED CERTIFICATES

A situation has arisen whereby the
city commissioners find themselves
unable to avoid loss of one and
one-half per cent interest upon thir-
ty-fiye thousand dollars.
Some time ago 1t was announced
that the city council would probably
issue $4,000 worth of bonds to take
care of certificates issued for inn
provements made during the past
year. but the bonds have never been
issued and it is understood that they
can not be floated at present because
of the statutory limit on the bonded
debt of special charter cities.
AS it is the city now has to pay six
per cent interest to the banks on the
certificates which have been issued
and cashed and whereas If they could
issue bonds to cover the amount they
would save one and one-half per cent
interest as the bonds could be placed
for four and one-half per cent.
There has been difference of opin-
ion by the courts and attorneys on
the question of whether or not grad
ing, sewer work and improvements are
included in the statutory limit of the
bonded debt Of the special charter
cities, but as long as there is the
difference of opinion it is not so easy
to float the bonds and officials are re-
luctant about issuing them.
In the improvement Of property the
city must take care Of the grading
and must pay for the intersection
work In the work done during the
past year there was an extraordinary
amount of grading to be done by the
city which entailed great expense and
which they now find themselves In
a position that they must pay for it
by certificates instead Of the usual
manner of issuing bonds.

TAKING LOOK
 BEFORE LEAP
Plan of the Supervisors to Gather All Needed Infor- nation Concerning Roads Before Proceeding With Bond Issue

In an interview yesterday concern ing d bond issue for gOou roads, Su-
 pervisor Orme stated that before any action would be taken by the board an
 investigation would be made as to the
 cost of per mile of the types or road
 that would be desirable County Sur veyor thompson is already at work and state Engineer Cobb has informed
 the board that he will lend the as
 sistance of Mr Barlow of the engineers office After these gentlemen have
 collected the information desired the
 board will probably make an arrange ment to secure the services of an en-
 gineer of California state highway
 commission to go over the data gath
 cred.
 It is thought that this is the best way
 to save time in case the bonds shall
 finally be issued. When the informa- tion has been gathered it is proposed
 10 submit it to such q committee as
 has been suggested. appointed on the
 recommendation of the various boards
 of trade and commercial bodies in the
 different parts of the county.
 Should the committee be made up
 first, it would probably direct the gath
 cring of the data that would already
 be ready for presentation to it.
 To meet one objection to the bonds
 that has been raised in some quar-
 ters. MT. Miller. clearll of the board of supervisors. has addressed the fol- flowing communication to the public through the press:
 Tt has been called to my attention
 that some opposition has developed in certain quarters against the proposed road bond issue, on the ground that the farmers of the county would bear the major proportion of the burden. I would like to present a few figures taken from the tax assessment roll of the county which show that such Op- position has no basis in fact
 The total assessed valuation of Maricopa county, as equaliZed by the state tax commission, is about $66,- O0O.000. Of this amount $2S,000,000 is on banks, city lots and improvements and merchandise; $250,00O on city street car lines; $522. 900 on city light l ing plants: S651. 900 on telephone and telegraph companies; $f0,000,000 on railroads. $346.O00 on automobiles, and 1 $97 900 on mines and mining ma chinery making total of about $40.- ! 000,000. This is approximately 60 per | cent of the total assessed valuation of 1 the county. These figures prove that l for each dollar spent or secured by the farmers under the proposed bond issue the cities and corporations mentioned above will contribute almost $2. Tn general summing up: The cities will contribute their proportion, 33 1-3 per cent, and aside from the fact that all roads lead to the cities they will recive no direct benefit. The rail- roads and street car systems will con tribute their part and receive no bene- fit except that Occasioncd by the de- Velopment of the country made possi- ble by the building of good roads, while the farmers, in return for the part contributed by themselves, Will use the roads every day in the year from the decrease in the cost of trans porting his produce to market, as well as the increase in the price of his property"
