been in existence four years. since
the Legislature at Albany took the
right to perform marriages away
from the members of the Board Of
Aldermen. But though the Legisla.
ture provided a municipal marriage
chapel, it did not provide form for
the ceremony. Hence Mr.. Scully
wrote one himself, and here it is, the
husky monologue that has mads
10000 couples man and wife in the
Municipal Building during the last
four years:

Seventy-seven couples were mar

There were $50 weddings in the

ROADS PROGRAM
 IN MOHAVE COUNTY
 AT COST IF S300,0OO

An outline of the road program that NlH be carried out in Mohave county which recently voted $3O0,O0O bonds for good roads, was given out yesterday by Thomas AIaddoclz, state engineer.
 MohaVe county will build roads through the east and west line of the county, having six different projects that will be carried through to com pletion, he said. The roads will extend rom INInGman into the Big Sandy country, southeast to the Bill Williams river, coming in tEe direction of Phoe- 1ix, making a continuation of the Arrowhead trail.
 The different projects as outlined by Mr. Maddocl1 are: the road from Oat- man to Topock to the river bridge on the old Trails highway; KinGman to Nelson, which will complete the ola Trails highway through Mohave coun- ty. On these two projects it ie quite probable that federal aid will be sc- cured, according to the state engineer. who says that the remainder of the proSSam includes the road from King man tn the Lower Sandy; Lower Sandy ot Signal; Kingman to the Utah state line; KingTnan south to the cross ing to Bill Williams river crossing Yucca and continuing from Kingman toward Phoenix.
 Yesterday a $15o.ooo bond election was held in Navajo county for 2 road program which includes 2, road from HolbroolS to the Apache county line on The road to St. Johns, which is estf- mated at $20,000; from HolbroolI to WiDslow, S25, 900: from Winslow to the Coconino county line to the Old Trails highway. $4.0n0; bridge across Cotton wood wash, s6,O00; HoIbrools to the Apache county line on the Holbrooi1 :. Gallup highway S5.O0O The total of s60.000 probably will be matched by federal aid, according to MT. Maddock xzy117 cn fat q been engaged in mapping out the work
 The bonds provide S3000O for a road from Winslow north to the Moqui In- dian reservation line and s35,000 for . road from Holbrool1 south to Snow flake, where connection will be had with the road which is now being built by the forest department. Other fea- lures of the Navajo county program

OPINION GIVES ID
 NORMAL SCHOOLS
 S2.700 A YEAR MORE

Moneys received from rental of Nor nal school lands, as well as the in terest upon moneys received from the sale of such lands, are set aside for the maintenance of the Normal schools Of the state in addition to their legls- Iative appropriation, according 10 an opinion rendered yesterday by Attor- ney General Wiley l.. Jones. The opinion of the attorney general Will add to the maintenance fund of the Northern Arizona and Tempe Normal schools $2, 700 a year.
 The opinion was given in response to an inquiry of Jesse Boyce, state auditor and is as follows:
 Responding to your recent inquiry iu relation to certain school funds for the maintenance of the Normal schools of the state of Arizona, l would state that Section 10 of Article XI of the State Constitution, entitled "Educa- tion,' provides that:
 The revenue for the maintenance of the respective state educational in stitutions shall be derived from the investment of the proceeds of the sale and from the rental of such lands as have been set aside by the Enabling Act for the use and benefit of the respective state educational in- stitutions. In addition to such income the legislature shall make such appro- priations, etc"
 Section eS of the Public Land Code provides that the fund for the Normal schools shall be for the benefit of sup port equally of the Normal school of Tempe and the Northern Arizona Nor maj school of Flagstaff "and the in- ] terest only of such fund (derived from the sale of Normal school lands), to- sether with the moneys derived from rentals Of state land and property shall be used"
 Therefore, under the above provi . sions of the State Constitution and the Public Land Code of 1915, the moneys received from rental of Normal school lands, as well as the interest upon moneys received from the sale of such lands, are set aside for the main tenance of the Flagstaff Normal school and the Tempe Normal school, to be equally divided between them, and lin

ANNOUNCE MARRIAGE
 IN TUCSON LAST SUN.

Keeping their wedding a secret until yesterday, Gladys Sanders and George S. Clayton, both of Phoenix. surprised their many friends with the announce ment that they had been married at Tucson last Sunday. Many of their friends had suspected that a wedding would be the continuation of their pretty romance, but few had antici- pated the promptness with which the young couples plans were carried out.
 Both MT. and Mrs. Clayton are well known in Phoenix. Mrs. Clayton hav- ping been in the employ of the Western Machinery company as a stenographer for some time, and MT. Clayton as an electrician with the New State Electric company. Both Mir and Mrs. Clayton were kept busy last night receiving the congratulations of their friends, to whom the announcement came as a pleasant surprise.
