relief of the people ot Navajo
 and Apache counties, who suffer
 ed from the breaking of the Ly-
 man dam last April. Such a
 measure was included in Cover nor Hunts call for the second special session of the legislature, and the bill introduced Tuesday IS the result of the united efforts of the representatives of Navajo and Apache counties in the leg islature, ably assisted by other citizens.
 The bill provides for the ap- preparation of forty thousand dollars to be used for the relief of persons whose property was damaged or destroyed by the flood following the breaking of the Lyman reservoir dam. Ten thousand dollars of this sum is to be used in Navajo county, and thirty thousand in Apache coun- ty. The distribution of the money is to be placed In the hands of the board of control and the state engineer.
 Supervisor Q. R. Gardner of Navajo county left HoIbrook this morning for Phoenix to work for the passage of the bill. Inter- viewed by the editor of the News as to what he thought of the chances of getting the bill enact ed into law. MT. Gardner stated that he thought the chances are good. He feels confident that the bill will be passed by the legislature, but he is not so sure as to what the auditor of state will do when the matter comes up to him. The auditor may raise the question of constitu- tionality, and if he does this he may hold up the payment of the appropriated. In such event the question of constitu- tionality will have to be settled by the supreme court.
