WHAT ABOUT VIADUCT
Oakland Citizens Complain OF Weak
ness of City Structure.

Hundreds of persons in Oakland are
complaining of the street car service
from Topeka on account of the weak
ness of the Sixth avenue viaduct over
the Santa Fee and Missouri Pacific
tracks. 1t is claimed that on account
of the unknown condition of this bridge
the railway company is forced to use
small cars to the suburb on the east.
Before the street railway work train
went through the Sixth avenue via
duct the company used heavy double
truck care exclusively on the Oakland
line. Since the accident, the residents
claim that the railway company fears
similar accident to passenger equip
ment and places in operation only the
smaller single truck cars.
I'VE want to know when the city en-
gineers' office will be ready to report
on the strength of this viaduct,' citi-
zen informed the State Journal today.
I'VE need the big cars on our line. We
do not want to run any risk of acct
dent over this viaduct.'

GOOD WORK ON
 THEBORDERLAND
Needed Repairs Are Being Made All Along the Route of Racing Cars Between This City and Tucson

After a trip over the Borderland route between Bisbee and Tucson, J. J. Bowen. president of the club and J. H. Gray, secretary of the Com mercial club. returned Friday night greatly entnused. They made the trip in a Studebaker and found the roads much better than expected
 Every part of the route was logged for the purpose of recommending re- pairs to the boards of supervisors of the counties in which the road is To- catcd. They found complaint about the road in Pima county unwarrant ed, as it is not in as bad condition as has been pictured by some tour ists. Racing cars will have no trouble getting over. but more repairs on the roads of Pima will be made as soon as the supervisors receive the next tax money.
 The stretch from the Empire ranch to the Pima county line needs much work. Many bad. places are encoun- tered in this stretch. due to summer rains which caused washouts. Efforts are now being made to get work started on this stretch and it without question be repaired before the date of the race.
 h Santa Cruz county. through which the Borderland route runs for five miles. the road. is in excellent shape and could not be made better The board Of supervisors of that county paid particular attention to this road and deserve much credit for results attained.
 From the Santa Cruz line to Hau- chuca siding in Cochise, there are two spots that need attention badly Men were found working towards these localities and assurances were given that they would be repaired before the day of the race. From Hauchuca siding east there are d number of bad chuch holes, caused by improper repairing of the road. They were nlIed with dirt from the side ana the edges not worked down. When the raids came the dirt washed away and left the old holes. The supervisors have a force Of lo men and two teams on this stretch and deserve credit for the efficient work they are doing. In Pima county only enc man and one team is employed at this time. but John AIyers and Hi Corbett of Tucson give assurance that tine beard will make adequate increase by the end Of this week
 Both Bowen and Gray believe the rgu between rBisbcc and Tucson will be made in about four hours by the racers, the improved race condition considered. In a new StuGsbaker '25 they tsft Tucson at 2 a. m, arriving here in : hours and 5 minutes. The actual running time was hours and l5 minutes. At no time did they ex- cee6 g miles per hours.
