That measures be taken at once to secure the release of the family of Joe A. Arvizu of Globe, now being de- tained at Santa Rosalia, Mexico, was the request sent yesterday by Gov ernor Hunt to the state department at Washington. This action was taken following the receipt of a letter from Arvizu, who is an American citizen and has been for many years a resi- dent of Arizona. His wife and chil- dren, however, are in Mexico. and all attempts on their part to leave for the United States have been frustrated by the Mexican authorities.
 It is not known whether they are being detained by officials of the fed eral or constitutionalist government. The governors request to the state department will probably be referred to the proper consular officials and the necessay passports will be issued to permit their return to the land of the free.

seWer?" and Why an assessment for sewer that can't be used?"
 The commission met at 10 o'clock. Adjournment was taken at noon until 2 o'clock and final adjournment was taken shortly before , o'clock. In the morning the matter of the protests of the residents of North First ave- nue and the two streets affected, were brought to the formal notice of the commission. Then additional protests were placed on record from c. F. Ainsworth and P. l.. Kidd, involving minor matters of double assessment or overcharges.
 Manager Parish stated that he un- derstood there was no objection to the assessment for the improvement of First avenue and Roosevelt and Me kinley streets except that portion re- lating to the construction of the storm sewer. In this connection he stated he believed that the city should pay for the sewer unless a trunk line is immediately constructed affording an outlet. Judge AinsWorth presented a report fro mthe citizens committee bearing out the managers contention that the city should pay for the sewer and deduct that amount from the as sessment as it now stands. The con- mission entered into lengthy discus sion of the problem and finally decid ed to meet again at o'clock for the purpose of devising ways and means for the city to construct storm sewer system, but before adjournment passed a resolution directing a re- assessment of the First avenue, Roosevelt and Mckinley street dis tricts, eliminating. for the present at least the item of the sewer.
 Bids for the paving of East Jeffer- son street from First street to Sev-

 For the paving of the alley in block 24:

 The awarding of a contract for the proposed paving was deferred until the storm sewer question is finally disposed of.
 The afternoon session brought out free discussion among the members of the commission, the manager and the city attorney. The manager asked the adoption of an ordinance revising the present method of procedure with re- lation to paving and sewer improve ments, making the sewer improve ments assessable to a district rather S. that he was in favor of the city paying for the storm sewer on North First avenue, but that he realized that one taxpayer might bring suit to enjoin the city from assuming the obligation and might involve the city in interminable litigation. Future work might be constructed under new l. sewer extensions but there was a grave question as to whether the city would have a right to pay for the work already done Attorney Christy said he would want some time to give an opinion as to the rights of the city as he wouldn't want to give an opinion off hand that might later re
