SEEK BANKHEAD ROAD
AT Ell PAS0 MEETING
Sends Delegation With Doug
las Contingent to Secure
Support of Texas City;
VIII Press Claims

For the purpose of securing the
Bankhead military highway for the
Warren District and the southern part
of Arizona, representatives of the War
rem District chamber of commerce, ac-
companied by a committee from the
Douglas chamber of commerce and
mines, will go today to FL Paso. there
to confer with the board of directors
of the FL Paso chamber of commerce.
The conference is in preparation for
the meeting of the directors of the
Bankhead highway in convention April
10. at Little Rock. Arkansas.
The Warren District committee VIII
include J. r. Henderson, ]. ]. Bowen.
w. A. Schwartz, E. S. Roundtree. L. c.
Overlook, ]. c. Ryan and Jesse YOG-
KUN. In addition. several others are
planning if possible to make the trip
and take an active part in the program
to secure the highway for this part of
the state. They will leave this morn
ing, returning before the end of the
week
Delegates to the meeting of the
Bankhead commission in convention at
Little Rock will represent this county
The Warren District commercial club
will name one delegate and the Doug
las organization will select a second
They will attend the national meeting
for the purpose of securing the high
way from Ell Paso along the Border
land route, through Douglas. the War
rem District and Tombstone.
Some opposition to the southern
route has been expressed by the FL Pa
so chamber of commerce and good
roads boosters of that district who
have advocated o route north through
the ella valley and by way of Globe.
The conference in FL Paso will seek
to show the value of the southern
route and to establish this districts
claims to part of the highway. II an
agreement is reached, the FL PaSO
chamber will probably support this dis
trict in the national meeting.
The Bankhead highway will be one
of the most important national routes
in the country when completed and
will attract thousands of visitors 10
this district yearly. The highway has
a double significance, in thai il is a
military structure primarily and sec
ondarily a pleasure route.

Local BARRIERS are debating whether

debating whether to stay open an hour

cpening an hcnr later than they do

that thev have not changed the time
