COUNTY IS SPLIT INTO , ROAD
 DISTRICTS
(From Tuesdays Gaily.)


 Yavapai county was split up into five maintenance road districts yes terday by the board of supervisors after conference with County En- gineer w. H. Merritt The plan, which is to place road gang in each district and keep it working continu' ally in keeping the county highways in repair, has been under considera- ton for some time past. It also is part of the plan adopted by the con ference of county engineers and clerks held at Phoenix last Fall.
 Five road gangs will be gotten to- gether in short time and the new plan will be put into operation as speedily as possible. Each district is to be divided into sections and the foremen of the different gangs will report through the county engineer the exact amount of labor and ma terial used in keeping the roads in shape. In this way 1t will be possible for the board to tell about what it will cost to repair each section of the road. The districts are:
 District No. l.-From Prescott to Walnut creek, from the American ranch to Jerome Junction and back to Prescott including the inner loop.
 District No. 2-From the railroad crossing below Fort Whipple to Dewey. Humboldt, McCabe and May CT to the Black canyon.
 District No. 3-Prescott to Wick enburg.
 District No. 4.-From Jerome Juno ton through Ash Fork to the Coco nino county line and from Ash Fork to Seligman, Nelson and the Mohave county line.
 District No. 5.-All of the Verde valley roads.
 Refuse to Donate.
 The board refused to make an ap- propriation for an Arizona exhibit at the Panama California exposition in San Diego. The question was brought up by the Yavapai County Chamber of Commerce in letter indorsing the plan of the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce. Each county of the State was expected to contribute. Yava- pai's share would have been about $500.
 The proposal Of NJ. Lichensteln of Jerome to sell the county Lot 7, in Block lo in the city ot Prescott for jail site was taken under considera- tio1. The lot. is 50 by l50 feet and is located near the Sherman house. Lichenstein asks the sum of $500 for it.
 Five letters have been received by the board offering quarters for the county offices while the new court house is being constructed. No ac- ton was taken on any of the propos- als but each will be investigated. The buildings and quarters offered are the Odd Fellows hall, the Congress house, the Union block, the third floor of the Elks' building. and the Wilson block.
 The application of Charles Sauer for the position of superintendent of construction on the new court house was taken under consideration.
 The accounts of the treasurer, re- corder. clerk of court and the sheriff were checked. The meeting adjourn ed at 5 o'clock and the supervisors will meet again at 10 o'clock this morning.
