 This opposition from a board of supervisors composed entire ly of Flagstaff men as not un- looked for, but the businessmen of Williams had hoped for a fair hearing before a body of men disinterested enough to judge the proposition fairly such as the state legislature. such fairminded hearing was accorded the proposition in the house of representatives and the Justice of Williams request for this road was attested by the unanimous support given the bill by that body. However. Williams had a spokesman in the house. Like representation on the Board of Supervisors would change the attitude of that body toward a road that would prove of immense bene- fit to a great part of the county. as would this south road. The unfair opposition to the road that is felt in the FIagstaff Board of Supervisors is we'll ex- pressed in the remarks of Su- pervlsor Woolfolk, upon this proposed road.

To quote from the Sun: Tt was member Wool folks opinion that the propos- ed road could not be put to any use in the world other than that of the pleasure seeker and that not dollars worth of nro- duce or products of the mine farm or industry would ever he hauled over it."
 such ignorance of the merits of the merits of the pronosed road, on the part of the suner- Vlsors would never have exist ed had Williams had a renre- sentative on the board Rnt there you are. Williams had no representative.
 Coconino county has dumped enough of the peoples money into the two great sink-holes TOT public funds known as the Oak creek roads, to build the r0ad south from Williams to CIarkoaIe number of times. Ano what do we have there? ? we nave chance there to or on dumping in the public funds ana that is about ali. As one of flagstaff's most prominent cit- Izens recently remarked "Jt would bankrupt any county in the state. to keep up a good road over the rim into OsL Creek. Odk
