PACKING CO. HEADS
 ARE FUR THE BONDS

The following statement in support of the good roads bond issue was ls- sued yesterday by the board of man aging directors of the Arizona Pack ing company
 This statement is of the greatest importance. in view of the fact that a few opponents of the bonds have been assiduously endeavoring to create a false impression of the attitude of the Arizona Packing company. The statement says:
 "The development of good roads through the territory in which We are operating, is a we'll established policy of the Arizona Packing Company, as it is of all similar concerns throughout the United States.
 ''We have considered this bond issue for the completion of Mari copa county's road project from all economic angles. "We have arrived at the conclu- sion that the success of this bond issue is vital to the welfare and further deveIopment of this county.
 "Scne few people, it would seem, have tried to create an impress sion that the Arizona Packing company opposes the bond issue. "This is NOT THE CASE. The company as such is in favor of the bonds, and so are we, who con sttute the managing directors.
