mission. We would further suggest that this department hire, during his leisure hours, an experienced traffic man from one of the mining com panies to check shippers bills of the members of this organization. We feel that, due to a lack of knowledge as to tariffs and rates, and further due to inexperience, that great deal of money could be saved the shippers in this community by maintaining an expert along these lines in this depart ment
 Agricultural department: This de- partment will be maintained for the purpose of developing and encouraging profitable agriculture, stock raising and horticulture, the organization of a farm bureau and to promote close re- lations between the city and outlying farming districts, to conduct farm dem- onstrations and to work in co-opera- tion with the farm agents. We would further suggest that this department take up with the proper state depart ment, and find out the entire proce- dure on farm loans, the method of ap- plying for loans, the percentage allow ed, what is required by the board of appraisers, and everything in general relative to what is necessary for an ap- plicant to do to secure loan on his farm. It would further be the duty of this committee to advocate and pro- mote new roads in the valleys and to advocate rural delivery, and to help in general the farmer to find ready mar ket for his products.
 Civic department: This department would be organized to promote worthy and suppress unworthy appeals for charity; to conduct activities to pro- mote community health and happi- ness; to advocate district playgrounds and to promote vocational education. The further activities of this depart ment would be along the lines of sani- tation, improving of streets, housing conditions, and to look after in general the health of the community.
 Your committee on reorganization desires to further recommend that election of a new board of directors be held July 15, 1919, and after which new officers will be elected from the newly elected board of directors.
 Respectfully submitted,

PAVING CONTRACT FOR BISDEE GOES
 TO LOS ANGELES

F. V. McPeak of Los Angeles, con- tractor in cement work, was yesterday afternoon awarded the contract for paving of the streets of Bisbee. The preliminary work will start at once, and actual construction work will be started whenever the council shall die tate, probably before July l. Tender son. Watson Lumber company were awarded the contract for furnishing cement which win be used in the pay ing.
 The award of the contract followed more than a weeks delay, during which members of the city council, and the city engineer were estimating the figures submitted in the three bids, and attending to other details incident to the award. Bids had been received from McPeak, from Oswald & Co, of San Francisco, now working on the Bisbee-Douglas highway, and from Warren Brothers of Phoenix
 The award yesterday was made to McPeak after a motion to give the work to Warren Brothers had failed to secure a second. Councilman A. l.. Rosok opened the meeting by moving that the bid of Warren Brothers be accepted. In support of his motion he cited the fact that the company is a resident of the state and a taxpayer of the county, and that they were will ing to abide by certain agreements as to specifications. He failed to re- ceive a second to his motion.
 Councilman Bassett Watkins then moved that the bid of McPeak be ac- cepted, since he himself is a strong believer in concrete paving" The mo- ton was seconded, carried four to one and was made unanimous on the mo ton of Councilman Rosok.
 The bid of McPeak is in the neigh borhood of $1OO,O0O,. and provides that the work shall be completed within 200 working days following the actual biginning of work. MT. McPeak will meet with members of the council and the city engineer within the next few days for the purpose of arranging final details, when he will announce his program. He is now in the city from his headquarters in Los Angeles.

Jtney Operators Wrathy; Petitions
 For Motor LdLU Referendum Vanish

Jitney operators of this district and of Cochise county who laid off work one whole day last week for the purpose of circulating peti- tions to place the jitney regulation law passed by the last legislature before the voters for referendum, have gone to all their pains and work for nothing, according to the report yesterday telegraphed the county attorneys office at Tomb stone and brought to this city last night by M. I. McKelligon, assist ant county attorney.
 The petitions, signed with sew eral thousands of names and ready for presentation to the secretary of state, were stolen from the bed room of Charles R. Francis of Douglas, the telegram declared. No trace of them can be found. The thief entered the bedroom through a window, and took noth- ing but the missing papers.
 Jitney drivers of the district joined a concerted movement of rent car drivers of the state in the securing of signatures for the petitions which would call refer endum on the bill. The bill pro- vided that jitney operators should file with the corporation commits sion a certificate showing that necessity for their operation ex- isted, that they should file also schedule of route, and finally that they should file a schedule of prices. Under the law they would not be permitted to l9ave their routes during hours of schedule. The jitney operators objected to the law on the ground that it would force them to quit business whenever they should have to file a certificate of necessity.
 During one whole day 50 or more jitney operators in n-this dis trict quit work and each armed

PHOENIX, June 12.-A refer endum petition brought here by Charles T. Francis, member of the legislature, from Bisbee, for filing against. the bill passed by the leg islature, placing automobiles ply ing for hire in the state under the jurisdiction of the corporation commission, has been stolen, or has disappeared, according to the statement of MT.

 The failure of another referen- dunn petition was announced to- day by R. E. McGillen, acting sec+ retary of state.
