BOARD IF COUNTY SUPERVISORS
 VOTES TO ACCEPT FEDERAL AID

In the presence of more than 200 Cochise county residents, represent ing practically every prec;nct in the county, and giving evidence of the keen interest taken by the taxpayers in general in Cochise county road affairs the board of county super visors at a special road meeting in Tombstone yesterday afternoon, plac- ed themselves publicly on record as in favor of accepting the county's full share of federal aid in road work.
 This action was taken after State Enginec Thomas had explained in detail tiore the meeting the fed eral road aid program. The assem- bled taxpayers were unanimous in their opinion that the. federal aid should be accepted
 Another important action taken by the board of supervisors was the re- jecting, as being too high, of all bids submitted for paving on the , Bisbee-Douglas highway
 The meeting was originally sched- uled to be held in the supervisors chambers. but so large was the crowd it became necessary to ad- journ to the court room, some time before 2 o'clock the hour set for the meeting.
 The first business was the open ing of bids for cement on the Bis bee-Douglas highway The bid of the Fl Toro company of Fl Paso was the lowest of these by a consider able margin. No action was taken on these bids at this time, the mat ter being laid over to a subsequent session
 Bids of two contractors on the pay ing were received, as follows:
 Eaton and Smith, for Section PA, $113, 50; for Section 2B, $127,- 72S.SO.
 George Oswald, for Section PA, $115515.2O; for Section 2B $116,-,

The dog against the which badger wiiiIpit him self will be either Red GannOn's we'll known bull, or a true pit bull from Cananea, the pride of the Chivatera club there. Bets were running high on the badger yesterday, due to his fine condition and size, while those who believe that no Dacger on earth can whip bull dog were waiting to see what pup would be matched be- fore they would place their money.

 The bids were opened in the presence of State Engineer Mad dock and a full membership of the board Engineer Maddock announced his opinion that the bids were too high, and the board agreeing, on motion of Supervisor Sparks, sec onded by Supervisor Roberts all bids were rejected. A call for new bids will be issued at later date. It was pointed out that this will cause practically no delay, as owing to the cold weather not much progress could be made on the work of paving during the next month or so, even if the bid had been let imme- diately.
 It was agreed between tSe super visors and Engineer Maddock that the unpaved middle section of the road from Forest ranch to Forest station, upon which the culverts and bridges have all been completed, shall be put in condition for travel as soon as possible.
 State Engineer Maddock then ex- plained to the supervisors and the big gathering of taxpayers just what the federal road aid program is. and how it will benefit the county J. N. Gaines of Tombstone, represent ing the Cochise County Taxpayers League, on behalf of the assembled taxpayers, then asked the board of supervisors for an expression as tc what they intended to do in the matter. The supervisors then placed themselves on record as favoring the federal aid program.
 The gathering of taxpayers was a representative one, including dele gatiOns from Bisbee, Douglas, Ben son, Tombstone, W1lIcoX, Pearce and other towns in the Sulphur Springs valley. They expressed themselves as in one accord as to the necessity of the federal aid road program be- ing put through in Cochise county.

Of critics as to Beckett's real ability
as a boxer. he now is England's fav-

be considered as an opponent for

title.
Those familiar with the achieve
IT ents of Dempsey will have but one
opinion as to the outcome of con-
test between the worlds title holder
and the British champion--a quick.
summary defeat Of the Englishman.
