Mr.. COUNCIL DISCUSSES
PROPOSED REMOVAL OF
|. { ". PLANT SITE

To the Taxpayers Of Lakeland:
Last year the taxpayers OF Lakeland
in the public mass meeting, selected
a board OF bond trustees to handle
the bond issue Of s165,0oo for GER
tain municipal improvements in
connection with the city Of Lake
land. The personnel OF this board
was selected as non-political. At
that time II was the intention OF the
people that the light and water
plant should be isolated from poll
tics. The selection OF this board
was presumably nonIpolitical, and
we have been endeavoring to handle
the situation along these lines. No
member of the board aspired to any
public oficce. We are all liable to
mistakes, and great many mis-
takes have been made. both In the
selection Of the public oficials. as
we'll as In the Affairs OF business life.
hence the board OF bond trustees Is
liable to make mistakes that Will
cost the city and taxpayers a great
deal OF money. Your present CON-
missioners. composed OF honorable
men who have no doubt labored for
! the best interest Of the city, have
made very serious mistakes. and ono
of the most serious made is the
granting of the franchise to the gas
plant owned by a private corporation
with the privilege to compete with
4 the municipal owned lighting plant.
| This mistake has already cost this
city a great deal of money and will
continue perpetually to rob your
light plant of its legitimate income
We do not charge bad faith on the
part of the commissioners that made
this very serious error. but in view
of the bond issue that we had for
improvements to our light and water
plant. we cannot hope. in view of the
competition, to make the same show
ing that we hoped to make when
this bond issue was passed The bon.l
trustees employed expert engineers
to make preliminary plans for the
improvements and extensions OF
your light and water plant. After
preliminary investigation on thu
part of these engineers, they recon
mended a change in the location oil

friendship or for any pecuniary gain
but from scientific investigation

position, in San Francisco, will be the
illustration of the development of the
surface features of the United States
and adjoining Landslide gradual
rise of the continent from the primal
ocean and the accompanying develop
ment of life "a pictorial story of
progress from the early fish and the
huge half-reptile creatures known as
saurians to the higher mammals such
as the great saber-tooth tiger and the

One. of the greatest resources, with
in the boundaries % Greenlee county,
is the vast unbrok en- forest of n1er-
cham able timber. While this is not
generally known still it is a fact never
thc]ess and the statement can easily
be verified from figures sllnbitted by
the Forest Service officials.
From time to time efforts have
been made to secure the construction
10 q highway from Clifton into the
vast timber belt, both in old era
ham county and since Greenlee coun-
ty was organized. The plan evoly-
ed was one of cooperation between
tie Board of Supervisors of the coun-
ty and the Forest Service and while
IL is true. as Supervisor VIM, Of the
Apache National Forest commune
Gates, no binding or written agree
ment on the part of the Forest Service
hasV been entered into, yet that the
matter has received favorable con-
sideraion in the past is evidenced by
correspondence carried on with Jno.
T. Guthrie, Forest Supervisor in
1868
Writing under date of August 18th,
1909, Mr.. John D. { Guthrie, then
Forest. Supervisor, wrote to Mr.. Dell
M. Potter, of Clifton, as follows:
U. s. Department. of Agriculture
Forest Service
Apache National Forest.
Springerville, Ariz., Aug. Is, 1903
Apache Improvement,
Proposed Clifton Wagon Road.
Mr. Dell M. Potter,
Clifton, Arizona.
Dear Mr.. Potter:
1 am enclosing an estimate of the
standing merchantable timber which
is accessible to the proposed wagon
road from the southern edge of the
Apache National Forest north to
Black River. This estimate includes
none of the timber on the White
Mountains proper, none of the timber
within the Indian Reservation, nor
any timber within the Blue River
drainage. 1 consider this estimate a
very conservative one. 1t is based
on estimates made by Forest officers
of this Forest and U. S. Geological
Survey (that portion north of the
Base Line.) With an estimated an
nuaI consumption of 100000 feet
B. M. by the towns of Clifton, Mo-
renci and Metcalf you see that there
is a 35-year supply of standing tim
Der at present In 35 years the in
creased growth will, I believe, more
than make up for any possible In
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1915-02-26

crease in consumption. The fact
that during that period bodies of tim
Der not included in the present esti-
mate may be opened up by connect
ing roads is not considered. 1t seems
to me that the proposed road Is a
very good business proposition.
The Forest Service is most anxious
to see work started on the road but
owing to the necessity of having TO
spread its funds over such a wide
area it cannot put in very large
amount this year, but I can say posi-
lively that a part of the funds allott-
ed to this Forest will be used for this
road
/ should like very much indeed for
you as well as some of the Coun' y
officers and some officials of the
three large Mining Companies to take
trip over the proposed route and
come far enough north to enable
you to see some of the timber that
the proposed road will tap. It would
be an excellent idea if we could get
interested, and to make at least a re
connaissance trip over the route.
Very sincerely yours,
JNO. D. GUTHRIE,
Supervisor,
From the above correspondence j.
will be readily seen that in 1909 the
Forest Service viewed with approva
the project for the county to build
est and the Forest Road Appropria-
ton, or portion thereof, to be used
in cooperating with the county in the
completion of the road. We have no
doubt but what Supervisor VIM
views the proposition in the same
favorable light, although as he says,
no binding agreement to this effect
has ever been entered into.
The proposition is simply this: The
taxpayers of the Clifton-Morenci dis
trict want a road into the, Apache
Forest. We are not particular which
route this road traverses between
here and the southern boundary of
the Forest. The most economical
and direct route should be chosen,
but from every standpoint it behooyes
the people of this district to get be-
hind the proposition of a road into
this beautiful and wonderful forest.
We have no doubt of the ultimate
success of the undertaking. We
firmly believe that when the Forest
Service has assurance that the tax
payers of this county are willing to
bear the expense of constructing a
wagon road to the southern boundary
of the Apache Forest that the great
Forest Service will cooperate to the
extreme limit in continuing this road
into the merchantab1e timber, and
we further believe that our represn-
tatives in Congress will be able to
scure additional help If necessary,
by direct appropriation from Congress.
Other portions of this state are
favored annually with appropriations
from Congress for magnificent public
buildings costing hundreds Of thous-
ands of dollars. They are useful and
ornamental, but a small amount of
money in the Apache National Forest
in this section of the state will prove
Ia lasting investment.
The people of the Clifton-Morenci
