The ordinance governing liquor IL
censes was read for the first time
This seemed merely a matter of form
in a way. as the ordinance Is designed
only TO give legal effect to the license
fees which had previously been agreed
upon and which have been paid for
some time past.
The question OF restaurant licenses
In the restricted district vas open
when Councilman Murdoch stated
that he had been informed that a
license To conduct such an establish
ment had been refused Hugh Wilson :.
Mayor Witcher replied that the coun-
Gilman had been misinformed. and
that such O license would be issued
upon application.
While the matter OF city finances
was under discussion. Councilman
Parks suggested that IL the city could
not meet its obligations the only
proper course would seem to be the
raising of taxes This was opposed
by Mayor Witeher, who said that he
could not see the need for any such
action either now or in the future,
and he felt the way the city Is now
being conducted, there was no neces-
sty for any raise in taxation
The matter of fencing the restrict
ed district was brought up when
Councilman Murdock requested that
the ordinance covering the matter be
read City Attorney Boreman in
formed the councilman that there was
no such ordinance, but that a resolu-
tion had been passed several years
ago requiring the fencing of the dis
trict. Councilman Parks asked If
the district was to be moved, stating
that If not. he was in favor of hav-
ing II properly fenced.
The matter of removing the dis
trict from Its present location and
outside the 400-yard limit is in the
hands of the county authorities.
Many expressed the view that II
would be better under all the con-
ditions to allow the district to re-
main where II is. but be properly
fenced and under strict regula-
tions. Mayor Witcher stated that
wherever the district might be To-
Gated he felt that II should be shut
off from plain view of the city proper
or the commonly travelled thorough
fares with a fence at least eight feet
high and therein conducted under due
restrictions which the authorities
should see were lived up to,

be possible to carry out soil survey in some county in Arizona in the near future No work of this character has been done since 1904, when the soil surveys were made of the Salt river and Yuma reclamation projects.
 The bureau of markets was also giv en additional funds to carry on .ts ac- tivties, and steps have been taken looking to cooperative marketing work in Maricopa county. The bill also makes appropriations for the breeding and study of alkali and drought re- sistant crops, for investigations in connection with western irrigation agriculture, and for the improvement of the methods of crop production un- der dry land conditions.
 Many of the employees of the forest service and the other bureaus of the department of agriculture in Arizona should be happy because provision is made for q 10 per cent increase in all salaries under s1.200 per annum. Those whose compensation is between l,200 and $1 300 will receive q raise of per cent. The bin carries q total appro- priation of over $25, ,600,000 which is the largest sum eyer authorized to be expended for the benefit of the farm CTS and stock growers of the United States.

the entertainments of the old road, im- proving the shoulders, and re- building the drives into the adjoining prop erty. cost about 24 cents per square varl, and the curbs and pavement cost $l.e0.
 Another macadam road built in 1902 was given different type of permanent surface in 1910. It car- ried a heavy mixed traffic which had about worn it out in spite of the wCrk of maintenance. In this case, one section of the road was resurfaced with concrete made of asphalt, sand small broken stone and stone chips The old road was first loosened and enough new broken stone from & to lA inch in size was spread and rolled on it to bring the surface to the de- sired shape The bituminous materi- alS were then mixed hot and spread over the road and rolled, This sur face was inches thick when finished \ few cracks and holes appeared in il. which were repaired at a cost of about S10
 A somewhat different method was used on another section of the same road. After the old macadam had been loosened and brought to the right surface with new broken stone t was covered with a mixture of asphalt and broken stone which was { about 2n inch thick after rolling. On il was laid hot mixture of asphalt 1 small broken stone and sand. This gave final thickness of 3 inches. The total cost of each type of construc- i tioa was about SPA per square yard

Utilizing Old Macoddnn Roads

The improvement of old macadam roads With some form of permanent surface is a problem which road build CTS in many parts of the country are trying to solve. It is particularly im- pOrtant because of the financial de- durability of saving as much as pos sible of the investment in these old roads, In order to throw light on suc- cessfui work of this sort. Engineer ing News" recently held prize com petition for short papers on the sab ject, and has just published the paper awarded the first prize. lt was writ ten by c. A. Carrrth and describes work done a number of years ago on roads near Rochester. \. Y.
 The first of these roads is one hay ing 6 inches of macadam put down in l902-3 and since carrying a heavy farm traffic. Tn 1910 about three quarters of a mile was resurfaced with brick in the following manner: A concrete curb was first built along each edge. The old macadam was loosened and forked over to as tC allow the fine material to work down New broken stone from 4 to l | inCt in size was then spread over the road. and a wet mixture of 1 part of cement to 2i2 parts of sand was spread oves the stone. The road was then rolled urtil the mortar flushed 10 the surface. when it was allowed 10 stand for few days for the mortar to harden.
 )n this base was placed layer of sand lis inches thick on which paving briks were laid on edge and the joints filled with very thin mortar, called
 grout by engineers. This Srout was implied late in the fall and was prob ally injured by the frost, for it proved so weak that the bricks rocked Hrder traffic and their edges became round . ed. Sa the surface of the road was cleaned and covered with a prepara ton of refined tar. on which a thin coat of sand was sprinkled This stopped the rounding edges of th" bricks. although the surfacing has be- come worn off in places.
