JUDGE SLOAN
 TELLS ABOUT
 BETTERROADS

Judge Richard F. Sloan, prominent attorney and city attorney, has con- t1Duted an interesting and important communication with regards to the good roads plan for the county par icularly outlining the reason why ;ertain routes were selected for the proposed highway improvements. Any one who goes by road in Maricopa county knows the need for better highways but all do not know why certain definite routes were selected. For that reason the following con- munication is both timely and inter- estinE:
 January 17, 1918. The Editor,
 Arizona Republican,
 Phoenix, Arizona.
 Sir;
 In behalf of the Good Roads Com mittee, l desire to call attention to certain matters relating to the pro- posed issue of bonds for improve ment of the county highways, re- garding which there is some misap- prehension on the part of the pub uc.
 In the first place, the Act of March S, 1917, makes it the duty of the board Of supervisors, as soon as the proper petition has been filed pray ing for the calling of a bond election, to appoint a highway commission of five members, each of whom shall have been at the time of his ap- pointment bona fide resident and treeholder of the county. The high way commission, when appointed, will have sole charge and supervision of the work of determining which of the highways designated in the order
Arizona republican., 1918-01-20

of the Board calling the election, shall be improved, what type of con- struction shall be used, and the prob able effect of the same
 In order that each voter may know in advance of the electcion what is to be done with the proceeds of the bonds, the highway commission must, not later, than twenty days before the election, file with the board of sup ervisors a map of the roads pro- posed to be improved, and a detailed report showing the kind of construc- tion to be used, with an estimate of the cost. This report must be pub lished at least two weeks before the date set for the election. Should the bonds be voted, the highway commis- sion is to have full supervision and direction of the work of improving the roads in accordance with the plan proposed in the report. Inci- dentally, l may say that the mem bers of the commission are to serve without compensation. It will thus be seen that the naming of the com mission is a matter entirely with the board of supervisors, and is to fol low the filing of the requisite peti- tion praying for the order calling the bond election. At the election therefore, the, voters will have an opportunity to express their ap- proval or disapproval of tGe issue of bonds with the knowledge as to how, where and by whom the proceeds of the bonds are to be expended.
 Some surprise has been expressed because the road from Glendale to Phoenix, and the road from Phoenix to Tempe are not included among the highways proposed to be i'm proved. The reason for the omis- sion of these roads is that they are both state highways and not county highways and, therefore, under the law, may not be included. Their i'm provement and maintenance is a mat ter for the state to take care of.
 Fault has also been found with the fact that the road from Scotts- dale south, named in the petition, Is not designated so as to cCnoec. at either end, or at all, with any other highway proposed to be improved. On the map, therefore, the road appears to be isolated. The reason it is not connected with any other highway

GOING 0vERSEA
 IS NUT ALL JOY.

Dr. Omar A. .TuTney has received a letter from Lieutenant John I. Quinn from Somewhere Near France" It was written aboard transport on which Lieutenant Quinn had crossed and which had landed at a French port. It is brief. but interesting description of the trip across. As it has been passed by the censor and as it appears to the military reporter for The Re- publican to contain nothing that will be of aid or comfort to the Germans this part of 1t is presented:
 We broke camp at 2 o'clock in the morning. After march of an hour or so, we entrained. It was bitterly cold and the long ride in the early morning and cold was trying one. At last we arrived at the transport dock. l can not tell the feeling that came over me as we marched aboard the ship. It was one of joy to know that at last we were bound for that historic land where the race has batteld for ages.
Arizona republican., 1918-01-20

That afternoon we cleared the dock and the next day were at sea. We have pursued a zig gag course across the ocean. In fact we have done every thing a ship could do. We have steamed ahead at full speed and at other times have laid-to for hours at a time After the first day we were all required to wear life preservers. Ev- cry port hole is closed at dusk; no smoking even is allowed on deck. In
Arizona republican., 1918-01-20

fact after night fall we are a dark ship. We carry naval crew and arm ament. There are a number of trans ports. We have had a convoy all the time. A strict discipline is main- tained; we have had frequent drills of abandon ship Up to today we had
 reveilIe at 5:45, but from now on we are having it much earlier. The troopf stand by the life rafts until after sun
 up. The favorite time for submarines
Arizona republican., 1918-01-20

to attack is at dawn. They spot a boat at night and then attempt to get ahead of her and attack at break of day. We have met no submarines but have passed wreckage. Today the con- voy was increased by the arrival of a large number of destroyers. They are all camouflaged in different colors. Some of the work is so well done that at only a short distance they fade en- tirely out of view. It gives
Arizona republican., 1918-01-20

me a feeling of exultation that at last I am really at war with the Germans. It is now getting on in the evening; we have arrived in the French port. The weather is beautiful: as I have not yet gone ashore l can tell you little"
 Lieutenant Quinn is well known in Phoenix. He was foremrly designing engineer for the local L. $. Reclama- tion service.
