GIRL ASKS S2,50O
 DAMAGES FOR HURTS

Rafaela Sanchez, who was seriously injured in an automobile accident last February, by Dr. Win Wylie, her guar dian ad litem, yesterday brought suit against Jose Rojas for $2,500. Claim ing that she was struck by the car which Rojas drove in an alleged reck- less manner, the plaintiff sustained a fracture of the arm and concussion of the brain, followed by a partial paraly- sis of the face and eye. Minor bruises also resulted from the accident which, was caused solely by the negligent manner in which Rojas drove his car, according to the complaint filed by Bullard and Jacobs.
 The eleven year old girl plaintiff is the daughter of MT. and Mrs. Espiri- dion Sanchez and the accident on which the suit is based occurred when the family was visiting in Sonora.

 GOOD ROADS

So vital so important to the progress of Phoenix and Salt River Valley is the necessity to vote the bond issue Satur- day that I wish to, at my own expense pay for this space to help in such a small way as I may, urge that every one get out and vote yes. It seems to me that people who criticize the road bond at this time are the same type that oppose paving of streets even though the street be knee deep in mud. Does this same type want to go back to coal oil lamps instead of cleo tricity? Coal oil lamps were good enough for our forefathers, but cleo tricity, like paved streets, spell modern requirement..
 Now the only one that will be hurt or lose money by the paving or roads 1 is the tire seller because good roads are not hard on autos and do not wear out the tires as fast as the present,

ALUE OF GOOD ROkDS|SSHOWN
 IN ]. S. S.FICURES
Carefully Collected Data Shows Roads of Big Bene- fit To Community-Bonds Not Dangerous

Some data showing the benes,ts that are derived from road improvements in widely separated sections of the United States has been compiled by the office of public roads and rural engineering in the |. s. department of agriculture. A few Of these bulletins have been re- ceived at the chamber of commerce and are being distributed to those wnu are anxious to make a careful study o1 the matter of road improvements.
 Quoting from the bulletin: Many claims and counter claims are made as to the propriety of expending large sums of money for public road con struction in local communities. One set of eXteremists ascribe to good roacs nearly all the benefits and blessings which fall to the lot of humanity, while another set sees in large outlays for road construction only the spectre of bad debt and ruinous taxation. Some where between these two extremes must be placed the actual result pro- duced.''
 Eight counties that have issued bonds for building roads during the year 1910 or previously were selected and data as to valuation of property 1 before roads were built and after, as well as other interesting data was ob- tained. 1t seems that the most practi- cal and most economical system or is suing bonds is the deferred serial plan, similar to that proposed in the coming bond election for Maricopa county. Would Benefit This County ! In addition to the saving in hauling i RnGtS which have haan oSfiT1 nd fO amount to a half million dollars annu- ally for Maricopa county and the say ing in the cost of operating and main taining the S340 automobiles and trucks in the county, which has been conser- vatively figured to amount to more than a million and three -fourths each wear. there is the increase in the valu- ation of property. and this increase has been found to be from one to three times the entire cost Of building the roads
 A benefit that is usually given to lit tie consideration, but one which for the future prosperity of the community is that of the increased school attendance This in the counties where the data was obtained has been found to in- crease ten out of each 100.
 Another benefit is the extension o1 the districts which supply milk, eggs fruit and vegetables. On poor roads the limits of this district were in most cases about three miles, but with good roads the radius was extended to or miles.
 To summarize the data Of hauling costs it was found that the total tor miles of traffic in the districts sur veyed was 3,4S9,652. The hauling cos
 before road improvement was 335 ant
 after improvement the cost was IS

The matter of the paving of the in tersections of streets with the tracks Of the street railway company Was brought up in the city commission yes terday and a mOdus ViVendi was reached. When the street railway company was ordered to do this paw ing it was stated on it's behalf that it was not financially able to do so at that time The matter was allowed 10 rest for a time. but lately the com mission became insistent and threat ened to perform the work itself and make the cost of it a lien against the company's property.
 4 few days ago the attorneys for the street railway company submitted a proposition to the commission: the track on Grand avenue was to be re- habiltated; the company was to pave Intersections on paved streets with concrete blocks; tracks in paved dis tricts that are not paved to be covered with caliche or crushed stone or grav- ei; the Washington street track in the paved district to be repaired as expe- ditiously as possible: the ratification by the commission of the order of the corporation commission for the remov- 'tl or the lfdCk on FlaSC street anu UT Pierce street between First and Fourth 1t was stated in the proposition tha the company had in contemplation 2 revision of the fares on Grand Avenue 1t was also suggested that the com pany would probably ask the permis sion of the city to use new kind O paving Willite, which had becom, quite popular in the east as good a; any in the city and costing only half ai T1uch
