Where the People
 May Have Hearing
Editor of The Republican

Editor of The Republicans:
 In the matter of the street names of Phoenix, will you kindly permit me to publish little true history?
 When Phoenix began to expand be- yond it's original boundaries the vari- ous plat owners gave to the streets of their respective subdivisions such names as their fancies dictated with out much regard to the names of streets in older adjoining plats. Tho consequence was that in many places the same thoroughfare had different names in different parts of the town. causing a great deal of confusion.
 About 1903, the writer, then city en- gineer, was directed by the council, consisting of Walter Bennett, mayor, William Messenger, John Dunlap, Nick Sanders and John Dennis, members to work out a plan of uniform street names and also a system of house numbering.
 In pursuance of this order many names were changed. Cleveland street lay in the southeast part of Phoenix running from Seventh street east, forming practically a continuation of Jackson street in the original town site. In my report which was adopted
 
 Cleveland street be changed to Jack , son.
 It will be seen from the foregoing that the change had no political sig nlficance whatever. It is true that the name of Cleveland might have been 'sslgned to some other east and west street bearing other than d presiden- tlal name, but as all such streets from fairfield to Grant had already been named according to the system and he other east and west streets lay in what was then the outskirts of the l town, it was not considered that the naming of one of them for MT. Cleve- and would confer any special com | piiment.
 l Being then, as now, a warm ad- | mirer of President Roosevelt. I re- i ported his name for what was then 1 known as Baltimore street and Lovers | '-ane. This occasioned some grief to 1 my good friend Sanders, who wanted | 70 substitute the name of Cleveland | but the council supported my recom- l mendatiOn.
 It may be remarked here that the names of Tyler, Johnson, Cleveland. Taft and Wilson do not appear among l the street names of Phoenix. AS there are now numerous well built-up east | and west streets not presidentially designated. I would suggest that the | present commission might interest if .
 ell Tn ordering the necessary changes.

Increased Facilities and More Money
Greatest Needs of Nations Railroads
Katy Receiver Declares Government Control or Regulation Not
Sufficient Road to Enlarge Tulsa Properties.

Present conditions are due to in
adequacy of facilities. In the first
six months OF 1917. the railroads had
moved n greater traffic than they did
In all OF 1907. Additional capital is
required TO provide the additional ia
cilities demanded. The railroads are
not earning 1t. Neither can they bor-
row II, and n way must be found to
strengthen their financial position.
"The railroads have not reached
,he maximum Of efficiency, but their
burdens arc increasing daily and there
can be no permanent relief from con-
gestion without additional facilities.
Neither government operation, gov-
ernment loans. nor increased rates
will enable the immediate provision
of needed facilities. Time as well as
money Will be required. Government
operation might perhaps relieve car
riers from restrictive state regula-
tions and stabilize labor conditions,
but II is imperative that the financial
position of the transportation systems
be strengthened IL we are to enjoy
material increases In facilities.
More Money Also Needed.

OF government control of railway op-

eating to investors that rates are to

oration."

get the idea that these subjects Of an
enemy power would not be carefully
watched and promptly dealt with If
suspected of hostile activities.
Many Austro-Hungarians I'm differ
ent sections OF the country have been
arrested since the declaration OF war,
he said. and are now held pending In
vestigation of charges against them.
