GOOD ROAD MEET IN PHOENIX Is
 PRODUCTIVE
Association Recommends That Non-partisan Board be Alp pointed to Confer with the State Engineer.

PHOENIX, Feb S.-Arizona's state highway system should be admins tered by a non-partisan highway board consisting of three members, cooper ating with the state engineer and in- dependent of the board Of control A sum of money should be appropri- ated amounting to $40O,000 year for state and county highway build ing and maintenance, for the next two years. Conyicts should be em- ployed at all opportunities and $5. 900 a month should be set aside to maintain this class of labor. All these recommendations to the legis- lature are the result of lengthy dis cussion in the annual meeting of the Arizona Good Roads Association at the chamber of commerce Saturday.
 The amount of money to be used and the manner in which it ought to be administered, formed the basis for one of the most hearty arguments and finally for one of the best get togethers the association has ever had. The control of the states road funds. either by state engineer, by board of control, by the county board or by a non-partisan board, was the question that kept brewing during all the preliminary arguments.
 The debates were started by the introduction of a resolution by W. A Moeur, chairman of the board of sup 1 ieryisors of Maricopa county. Mr ] Moeur's resolution covered the three chief points, and the only disagree mcnt as was to the amount Of money to be used from state funds.
 In the afternoon session, the work of the meeting was crystalized in series of motions, testing the sentiments of the delegates. Seyera
 ideas were advanced with regard tC the amount of money 1t was thought
 the legislature would be willing tt
 appropriate, but it was quite a whil' before a test vote could be engineer
 ed. Finally, however, after it ha'
 been decided it was better to ask fo
 a specific sum to be appropriated , rather than for a part of the tax levy . Fred Colter moved that the appropr
 atlon be not over 10c on the hundre b dollars of assessed valuation. j. II Q Mulholland. of Wickenburg, who's , idea all through the meeting wa that there ought to be a big apprC , ty and distribute the proceeds {
