Wants Jolly Widow;
HaHDOzen AnswerS

NEW YORK. July 3.-Slow, quiet and
Jolly widows do not seem to be SO scarce
as August Zerneh. OF Cleveland. believed
when he wrote to Mayor Seger, of
Passaic, to find him one. Despite their
slowness. half a dozen have written to
the mayor recommending themselves to
the attention Of Mr. Zernell
One wrote from New York, one from
Jersey City. one from New Haven, one
from Stamford. and two. including
Lonesome Florence" from Newark.
Lonesome Florence wrote as fol-
lows:
Dear Mr.. Mayor: I am a widow and
childless. I am slow. quiet. jolly, and
fond OF sports. including baseball, golf
and tennis. and / can dance the latest
steps. Please let me come to see you, that
you may know that will make a good
wife for Mr.. Zernell. I am twenty-three
years old. Maybe Mr.. Zernell (who pro-
claimed his hatred OF old maids) was
my first husband. but. poor fellow, he is
dead now. Now don't forget to answer
me.

LONESOME FLORENCE"
The mayor has no intention of invtt-

didn't give her address. anyhow. He
will content himself with Forwarding
her letter TO Zernell. and will not even
call attention to the apparently fatal
mistake her first husband made In

IS AGAINST THE COUNTY
 BONDING FOR ROADS

The proposed bond issue for road improvement for which the Board of Supervisors have called a special cleo tion for next month, will probably re- ceive black eye from the voters of this end of the County, judging from the general condemnation of the measure as expressed by the people at mass meeting held in the Sultanna opera house here last Monday night.
 This, in my opinion, is as it should be. The people of Coconino county are not ready for this burden for seve- ral reasons: The tax rate is high enough now, too high, in fact for our County's good and the consumer be- ing the only true tax payer is not willing, not really able to stand this extra and at this time useless burden; useless because last year we spent over eighty thousand dollars on road work, and received no practical bene- fit for the expenditure.
 We need good roads, need them badly, but we need also a judicious expenditure of the moneys we receive for road work, in other words, we must, in order to ever have perma- nent good roads, have the work systematiZed by competent men who are willing to make every dollar ex- pended count for the good of the peo- pie who pay the taxes. Efficiency in its broadest meaning must be shown by the county administration of af- fairs in general and to road work in particular before any great bonded debt should be contracted by the peo- pie of this county.
 Let us hope that every voter will give his time willingly in this special election day and trample out this bond debt scheme by voting solidly against it, kill it so dead that it will not raise it's ugly head again for at least two years more.
