 DIVORCES ARE INCREASING
(From Sundays Daily)

(F1Om SuHudy DallyJ
 Both marriages and divorces arc growing more popular in Yavapai county every day, with marriages showing the greatest gain of the two. During last month 2S marriage h- censes were issued as against IS in the same month last year; in July "A were issued as against I4 and, with every month this year, with the ex- ception of March, the number of li- censes issued has equalled and in most cases far exceeded those of the corresponding month last year. In March but four licenses were issued, compared to 10 in the same month last year.
 Since the first of the year % divorce suits have been filed as against g to this date last year. These figures were compiled by Deputy Clerk of the Superior Court James " Farley, who, being an eligible bachelor and an artist at issuing marriage licenses. is keeping close watch on the number of marriages and divorces and de- clares that he will not plunge into until he has computed statistics that will prove beyond doubt that 1t IS a safe step.

BELLVILLE MAY
Have A SURVEY
Designed To Study Needs Of
Village
FUND IS AVAILABLE
Administrator Makes the Suaqestion
Rejecting Any Proposition
Which Taxation Might
Bring About

Bellville, Sept Ever since the
announcement of the setting aside OF
a portion of the Rollin B. and Jessie
Cockley estates to provide something
beneficial to Bellville there has been
considerable speculation as to what
use the fund would be put.
On Friday evening of last week the
administrator, w. B. Cockley, met a
number of representative citizens at
the township hall to discuss the best
plan for the disposition of the fund.
A number of suggestions have been
made, but no two ideas seem to be
alike. Some think a town hall for
the use of the village, others a public
library, and still others a hospital or
educational institution.
Mr.. Cockley stated that he was not
in favor of any proposition which the
people could accomplish by means of
taxation. In view of so many ideas,
he proposed a scientific study of the
needs of the village, called a "sur-
vey," to be made by an expert.
This would show how the money
may be spent TO the best advantage
and provide useful information look
ing to the future development of the
town. He believed that the ideal pur-
pose should be to make Bellville the
best place to live for all it's people.
This plan was endorsed by the as
