 Having noticed in your paper that the Board of Supervisors in their at :ack upon the State Engineer. brought in the question of cost Of supplies for the State camp. We feel in jus t!ce to all involved 70 answer their wrong statement by saying that We were awarded the contract for sup plies after our competitive bids were accepted against all other bidders. We are sorry that the present board are ignorant of the advance in prices during the past two years If the diff ference in the cost of building the fine highway from Benson crossing to Fairbank from Mir. Maddock's guess of s20,00000 to about s27 7,0O000 was attributable to nothing but the cos; of supplies. We would not bother to dioNt4 LHt Itt-ti pGD4ISHSu uN luS board c. supervisors. We think and believe as everybody in Cochise coun- ty knows that the work was done under the most adverse circumstances due to the heavy storms that were continually hampering the workers and making so much repair work nec- essary during the construction of the highway. If the old survey along the old road to F'airbank had been fol- owed and a poor road built perhaps
