Continued from Page One) generations to come. It might be that some idea of using the work ere ated out of the fund as a memorial to the boys who had part in the whip ping of the Hun. A good road, seem- ed at the time, to be an appropriate use to which the money could be put. It was suggested by Woolfolk that road to the Grand Canyon might be solution of the problem. Not from Flagstaff and not from Will Hams, but from central point, which would be fair to both towns and would do away with the necessity of two roads. Maine was suggested by Woolfolk as a suitable place where the road might leave the Williams Flagstaff road and go due north. The rest of the supervisors liked the idea but nothing was done pending fur ther thought on the matter.
 A matter came up that aroused a very live discussion and quick action on the part of the board and no un- decided opinions from the individual members. 1t was brought up by two telegrams. The first:
 "Board of Supervisors,
 Flagstaff Arizona.
 "I called your attention to House Bill 142. Understand Board of Sup ervisors of Yavapai county are send ing resolution against it. Answer quickly.
 HI. E. CAMPBELL"
 The second was:
 Board of Supervisors,
 Flagstaff, Arizona.
 "This board disapproves of road bill passed by legislature on account of depriving counties of their 75%o al lowed counties for road funds. We are wiring governor and members of legislature to this effect. We ask your cooperation by doing likewise.

 "YAVAIAI COUNTY"
 The bill in question provides that the state engineer shall survey road between Williams and Clarkda'e; that as soon after survey and plans are made as is practicable the state en- gineers shall start york on the road; that the survey 2h:.ll be pe,f fer ont of the general fund; and that the funds for the building of the road shall come out Of he. 75fS road fund of the counties through which the road shall run.
 The board objected to one provision of the law, and objected strenuously, namely, the plan to get the money. out of the 759o fund.- This would mean, according to the interpretation of the board, that for some long period, pos sibly two years, or as long as it took to complete the road, no money from this fund could be used on any other road than this one, thus tying up all other road work in the county. The board thought that this road was a great deal less important than other work that would be needed, and there would certainly be road work that would have to be done during the pe- riod when this road was being built. They thought the east and west road should have some of this money ex- pended on it and it was Member Wool folks opinion that the proposed road could not be put to any use in the world other than that of the pleasure seeker and that not dollars worth of produce or the products of mine, farm or industry would ever be haul ed over it. The result of the discus sion was the sending of the following telegrams:
 Hugh E. Campbell,
 Phoenix, Arizona.
 Board of Supervisors of Coconino county unanimously disapprove of House Bill 142. We want the 75f6 of money to be spent on east and west road. If necessary for member of the board to appear wire at once. BOARD OF SUPERVISORS,

 Sheriff Jack Harrington appeared before the board and asked that the county buy an automobile for the ex- elusive use of the sheriff's office He stated that Coconino was the only county in the state that did not have from one to four cars for such use and that he could not see why Coco nino county should be the exception. He also stated that it seemed to him to be absolutely necessary that a car be at the instant disposal of his of- | r:.o +l,n+ hn ,,,o,,lJ dr;ya tho oo, b;y,
