IMPORTANCE OF STATE HIGHWAY.


 The taxpayers and citizens in general of the on-MorenciMetcalf district loose sight of the importance of the location and early compile ton of the route the East and West State High way through Greenlee County.
 The people of the Clifton on-MorenciMetcalf dis trct earnestly desire to the route designated via Duncan, Clifton, Gillard Hot Springs rushed to completion at the earliest date possible.
 Its completion the bringing into county hundreds automobile tourists annually via The Southern National Highway-the only transcon- tinental highway open travel twelve months in the year.
 It is estimated conservatfvely that each automo- bile party spends not less than fifty dollars day off supplies and expenses. What has become known as the automobile tourist crop is being sought af ter by all sections but it remains undisputable fact that nowhere in Arizona will the tourist find better highways and more magnificent and inspiring scenery than is to be found in Greenlee county by following the Southern National Highway via Lords burg and Duncan into the attractive CftonMorenci- Metcaf district.
 Fully ninety per cent of the citizens and taxpay- CTS of Greenlee county favor the East and West State Highway via Gillard Hot Springs for the son that this route means the greatest good and benefit to the largest number of our people. The taxpayers of the Cl1fton-MOrenclhdetcalf district pay sully ninety per of the taxes county and ir this district located about propor- tion population The people of this district cheerfclly paid the major portion of for the construction, maintenance, and reconstruction of roads and bridges in the Gna Valley section of the county and will gladly continue to do whenever the necessity of the situation q emands. The Cliff ton-MorenciMetcalf inhabitants believe in the i'm portance benefits to be derived from good roads. This evidenced by the big vote in this dis trict in of the $15O.OOO .OO bond issue. The early completion of the and West State High way via Duncan and Clifton will be the means of putting circulation thousands dollars of for eign money in this district, recompense at least, for the large amount of road taxes collected from the people of this district.
 It would be manifestly unfair and unjust the people of Morenci, Clifton and Metcalf to have the state highway located and constructed via Ash Springs to the Graham county line It would that every nhabitant of Clifton Morenci, and Met calf would be compelled to go to Duncan and cross the bridge at that point, in order to gain western outlet. Such route would be inconvenience and heavy expense large portion of taxpay- and, citizens and should be considered for a moment, either by the Board of Supervisors or the State Engineer.
