COUNTY ROAD BOND TO BE PUpUP TO
 PEOPLE BY BOARD
Supervisors to Hear Voters Urge Forest Reserve Be
 Opened to Visitors

Members of the board of supervis- ors will hear residents of various sec tions of the state on the question of issuing road bonds for emergency employment on Tuesday, April S.. The forest supervisor at Tucson, in charge of forest reserves within Cochise county. will be requested to take i'm mediate action toward securing forest funds for road construction in Cochise county.
 These were the salient developments and features of the meeting last night in the I. N. c. A. of the Warren dis trict community labor board. High way legislation was discussed, means of increasing jobs in the district and county were considered, and members of the legislature and board of super visors were heard on possible plans for aleviation of the employment question.
 Announcement that the board of su- pervisors will consider the advisability of issuing bonds was made by c. w. Roberts, member, after a conference with l. c. E. Adams, chairman of the board of supervisors.
 Doubts Public Opinion
  that machinery provided by recent legislative amendments to the high way commission bill of 1917, make possible the raising of funds by bond issue within little more than a month. He doubted public opinion as to where the roads should be constructed, and for this reason suggested that expres- sion be had from every district in the county.
 The resolution to the forest super visors was adopted following a report by w. R. Ashurst, federal employ ment agent, that fund of about S9,- O0O, 900 is now available for forest reserve road work in this state and New Mexico and that Cochise county is entitled to a certain amount of this fund for improvement of roads and construction of new roads upon the reservations. The resolution calls at- tention to unemployment conditions, the urgent necessity of alleviation and asks immediate action. Upon suggestion the board of supervisors will urge upon the forest officials the same consideration asked in the res olution of the community board and citizens.
 No Further Cut
 Reports of employment conditions within the district by representatives of two large corporations showed that Phelps Dodge Corporation and Calu- met & Arizona Company are main taining their force at the same levels as last week, and that no additional curtailment is considered. Phelps Dodge Corporation has returned 164 former soldiers and sailors to their old positions while Calumet & Ari- zona has received back 90 former service men, all of whom have been employed
 The resolution adopted. last night follows:
 Whereas, there is at this time great numbers of unemployed men in the state Of Arizona and especially in Cochise county, and
 Whereas, There is great need of roads into the national forests to open up said forests in Cochise county, to open it's resources and make said forests accessible ot the people for pleasure and recreation, and
 Whereas, It is understood there is federal money available for the pur- pose of roads and trails in said for ests, now, therefore, be it
 Resolved, The Community Labor Board and the citizens of Bisbee and Coachise county respectfully request and urge the forest supervisor of Cor Onado National forest to take such steps as may be necessary to imme- diately begin the construction of roads and trails within the boundaries of the several national forests within Cochise county, to the end that idle men may be given employment
 Respectfully submitted,
 "J. C.. White, chairman Cochise county community labor board; R. J. Wilbert, secretary; W. R. Ashurst, ex- aminer."
