WON'T I APPROVE FEDERAL AID FOR
 APACHE TRAIL
State Enginer Calls It Sec ondary' Road - Ample
 Petitions Secured for the
 4,500,000 Bond Election

There were several developments in the good roads situation yesterday, though at least one of them was a neg ative development, the refusal of State Engineer Maddock to recommend fed eral aid for the Apache trail, for which the county had proposed to ask for a $35o, 900 bond issue and for which the Water Users association had agreed to give contributions amounting to $10O, GOO.
 It also was made known that enough signatures had been secured to the pe- dtion to the board of supervisors to call another bond election on a propo- sition to authorize the issuance of bonds in the sum of s4,5o0,OO0 for the completion of the county highway pro- Ject- In this election would be in cluded the proposition for the issuance of the Apache trail bonds.
 The other event was the sending of the following letter by the county high Maddock for the application of what ever federal aid funds may be avail able for assistance in the construction of the road to Buckeye:
 Ask Federal Aid Maricopa County Highway Commission
 Phoenix, Ariz.
 July 22, 1920. Thomas Maddock,
 State Engineer
 Phoenix Ariz
 My Dear MT. Maddock:
 We are informed by our contractors, Twohy Bros company, that they ex- pect to be ready for actual construction of our roads on a big scale in the next five or six weeks, and they have asked for some information as to the roads to be built first, together with the width and thickness of same.
 Our commission now desires to make application to your department for a federal aid project beginning at the city limits of Phoenix and extending to Buckeye over our Project No. 8, or any or all of such project as the fed eral aid funds available will build on a 5O-50 basis. In other words, if you have $50,O0O or $100,0O0, or any other to apply on this project, please make out an application in the regular way covering such amount of this project No. 8 as the funds you have available will build on a 5O-50 basis.
 Our engineering department will be glad to give you any and all the in formation that you may desire regard ing specifications, cost of construction, etc, which might be of interest to your department.
 An early reply would be greatly ap- preciated, as 1t would help us in mak- ing decision in the starting of our program at an early date.
 Yours truly,
 n
