ROAD PETITIONS MEET
 ENTHUSIASTIC RECEPTION
(From SundaYs palIYl

The good roads movement is meet ing with general approval throughout the country. From Jerome, H. De Witt Smith sends in the following word: Up to the present time, we have encountered no opposition, and many of the taxpayers are showing considerable enthusiasm in pushing these preliminary steps towards the bond issue"
 In Prescott the petitions are being circulated both in the business and residential districts.
 Those qualified to sign the petition namely, those who are taxpayers and voters-snould bear in mind that merely signing the petition does not necessitate votinglfor the bond issue, unless the bond issue as it will be presented to the taxpayers and vo- ters meets with approval.
 The law requires that when IS per cent of the property taxpayers, who must be voters, petition the board of supervisors, they must appoint a highway commission This commis- sion may serve without salary. They can appoint a competent engineer to make surveys or what work may be necessary incident to the bond issue. The highway commission must in vestigate the county roads, such new roads as may be built, estimate the cost of construction and the amount of the bond issue. Then this data must be placed before the elector- taxpayers, who then vote upon the same.
