Amendments Killed

Stark wanted to drop Flagstaff and keep Williams. Little had a word to say for Morenci Ajo was brought to the f-ant. and many others. but the sentiment Of the house was against laying ou: the specific routes and all these amendments were kill ed.
 Besides the amendment cutting down the bond total two others were fayorab!y recommended. One proyii- cd for connecting the Arizona road system with the Arrowhead trail out os Utah near St. George. He other dropped Chandler from the route on Coieman's suggestion thu: if Chandler were included Ss5.O0 worth of road already built out of Mesa would be uSe,ess.
 When somebody wanted to know where the roads really did run, Eddy explained that the routes mapped out were those tentatively submitted to the people four years ago when the bond issue was defeated. They were all tentative. said Eddy, and formed a proposed state highway system which would have to meet with the electors approval and the practical judgment of engineers.
 Eddy vigorously opposed Lines mo- ton to reduce the bond issue total to s10 ,OoO. .0O1 and when the amendment passed he immediately moved that the bill be indefinitely postponed. This, however. was defeated. Eddy argued that poorly built roads were almost worse than no roads, while Peterson, Lines, Mrs. O'Neill. and others. were afraid a $30.00O. .0O0 bond issue would be killed by the peo- pie when s1o, 1000, 900 one might pass. Bowman tried to compromise on $15,- eoo, 900, but could find no support.
 When Little made the motion tha: the bill do pass as amended" Gal. braith attacked the whole measure as undesirable.
 We want roads now" said Gal. braith. We do not want a bond is. sue two years from now. The assessed valuation of this state is $s40.oO0.0 .0o0 and with a two and one-half mill levy on that, with the road work the coun ties are- contemplating in the line of road work Arizona would have all the highway construction she could han dle.
