FoUors Road Bonds

The proposed road bond is- sue is an important matter, means much to the county and it's citizens, and will no doubt receive favorable ac- tion from the voters. The proposition is a good one, and is meeting with approval in all parts of the county. The petitions now being cir culated among the voters and taxpayers of Navajo County, as a preliminary step in this matter, request the County Board of Super visors to appoint a commis- sion of five members to ex- anime, investigate, and re- port on the roads of the coun- ty as regards roads to be built, repaired. or construct ed, approximate amount of funds required, etc. The Board of Supervisors, in con- formity with provisions of said petitions, will probably call a bond election after the report of this commission is filed and considered, and the bond issue intended will necessarily be based on the report and finding of this commission.
 Now is the time for every one to boost for this road bond issue. The petitions now in circulation, or a ma jority of same, should be in hands of the Board of Super Fisors at it's next regular. meeting, so that the propos ed commission may then be appointed. The commission can soon thereafter begin it's work. If this is done, it should be possible for the bond election to be held sometime during the coming summer. If the bonds carry the funds derived from the sale of same can be ready for use by Januaay 1st, next. The opportunity is here to do something of last ing benefit to the county and sall it's residents. Everybody 'get busy.
