the Warren District proper, as well as for those of Tombstone and Tucson. I like your loyalty and prompt energet- i ic manner of doing business, which is shown in road matters as well as in other matters. I well remember that
 just after my first trip several years ago, over what is now known as the
 Borderland Route, l had the pleasure of addressing your people, of describ- ing the route, it's possibilities and its needs, and no community all along the line has relatively done more to put the route in good condition than have the people of Southeastern Arizona. By the efforts of local communities a. long the route from Southwestern Kan sas to San Diego, an immense amount of road betterment has been done, in spite of the lack of a comprehensive read organization. and the Borderland now ranks high as a transcontinentai auto route. Several routing changes have been made since the route was originally charted. caused, as in your case, by the building of other and bet ter local routes, and I am sorry to say that in some cases, changes have been made necessary by a community fail ing to make their own link of the route passable. The general good condition of the road is attested by tourists. and by the fact that last win ter. MT. Baker. in making his fast coast to coast run. chose the Border land Route and by far made his fastes. tire between San Diego and Fl Paso-- 1 .OOO miles in two days. On my tr

Minnesota in eleven and one-quarted days in a touring car. When this high rate of speed ca1 ha maintained for long distances, su-c'-- the tourist. travelling at a leisurely gait. should have but little trouble.
 Along the line of present and future needs. l would suggest possibly the changing of the routing between Tue son and Yuma. This, however. is a matter for careful investigation; the as rapidly as possible of the bad places-in other words, actual W build roads. and when built, proper ly maintain them; a comprehensive working route organization for the en- tire road: close utilization with other roads that might be valuable feeders; last. but not least, ar thorough systema- tic sign-posting of the road throughout its entire length. It gave me pleasure to drive over to Deming and meet your regretted very much. I could not be with you at the luncheon : rendered by Fl Paso, but at the last after coming down town, was detained. Until recently have become an actual resident of your great southwest and expect in a quiet way to take up the duties that god citizenship implies and do what l can to assist in its general advance nenr. especially in the matter of bet ter roads.
 drove the Hachita route last winter and am planning to drive it again in a few days to personally see its pres ent condition, and if l think it advisa- ble. to log it for eastern tourists.
 Why not all work together to make the going better. especially for our selves. and incidentally for the other fellow?
 Very Respectfully.

"And that has no bearing on the sub
ject, anyway"
What did you as a director or your
associates do 10 look If commitments
or obligations might be in that con-
tract?"
Mr.. Berwind in reply went into a
long explanation of the proposed Ste
vens contract for third tracking and
extending the Manhattan elevated lines.
He said the Job was an important one
that involved danger and risk. as the
traffic on the lines was very heavy and
could not be interrupted while the
work was going on. Mr.. Shonts, he
said. went TO Europe, and the matter
died out.
Mr.. Moss then asked If the Stevens
contract didn't fall through because OF
opposition in the interborough's board
of directors. He said there was no
opposition to Mr.. Stevens, but only to
certain matters in the proposed con-
tract. He said that no definite percent
age was discussed, but that everything
from TO 20 per cent was taken up. lie
said he didn't know if Mr.. Shonts had
submitted a skeleton contract to the
Public Service Commission.
Replying TO another question, Mr.
Berwind said that Gardner NJ. Lane,
another director. wanted the contract
open TO competition. He said he did
rot know If J. T. Morgan, Jr., had
written letter TO Mr.. Shonts dlssp-
proving the contract.
"Did you ever inquire il Mr.. GILES

soner said il could be removed as soon
as the loop was put in operation. but
that the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Com

refusing to pay rental he suggested
that the Public Service Commission
might be a "very persuasive power" TO

PHONE COMPANY COMES DOWN
Offers 10 Cut It's Charges for Discon-
tinuances.

Albany, May 10. At hearing be
fore the upstate Public Service Com
mission on short-term contracts and
discontinuance charges by telephone
company, the New York Telephone
Company submitted to-day an offer to
materially reduce such charges. Ar
present the maximum charge for dis
continuing a telephone is sl7, and un-
der the schedule submitted the COM
pany offered to reduce the maximum
to $3.50.
Under the proposed schedule. all
contracts would be for one year, and
if the subscriber had been using his
telephone one month the disconnection
charge would be 50 and the charge
would be reduced fifty cents for each
month the telephone was used. This,
telephone officials said, would decrease
the charges on 90 per cent of short
term contracts.
The proposed reduction has not yet
been approved by the commission.
