Good Roads for Maricopa County

We cannot think that there will be any serious
opposition in this county to setting in motion the
good roads machinery provided in the recent act of
the legislature authorizing the appointment of county
highway commissions. Equally think there be
no serious opposition the issuing of bonds in the
sum of S15OOOOO for good roads when the effective
and busnessl1e expenditure of the proceeds of the
bonds through a highway commission is assured
one of the very few arguments against such bond
sues or other form of good roads appropriations is
that the money will be frittered away.
Unfortunately the argument is sometimes not
without force In adjoining county people
having made what was regarded by them liberal
good roads provision hecently withheld another be-
cause they alleged the former been recklessly
if not criminally dissipated.
But that be argument against bond is

ever may be its personnel, will be composed Of men

funds and in the direction of operations They will
also be men who genuinely interested in good

members of the commission but all claims author
lied by them will be scrutnized and audited all

There is no county in the state which has greater
need of good roads than Maricopa, and believe
there is none at least we know of none in which
proportionatey little has been expended for good
roads. We have not decent highway extending to
the borders of the county any point We have few

only 63o hogs to every 1000 persons. a

decreased production. the war and the
increased demands for pork products
have caused pork to reach the highest
price In sixty years.
Experiments We're conducted on eight
hogs at the Maryland state agricultural

weeks Four were inoculated with virus

inclosed in the same pens and permitted
to contract the disease by infection. -Four
