WHY MONEY TO BUILD BRIDGES BUT NONE ID FIX GLENDALE ROADS?

GLENDALE, March 31.-As a result of the announcement of the board of supervisors that they had made an ap- propriation from the 75 per cent county road fund, which becomes availa ble after July l, for the purpose of erecting bridge across the Hassayampa and another at Wickenburg and had asked for federal aid on these two projects from the state engineer, taxpayers of Glendale today were asking why when they had appealed to the supervisors for some relief from the intolerable road conditions prevailing in this part of the county. they were infornied there were no funds available for the purpose, as both the 75 per cent fund and the p per cent fund were said to be exhausted.
 ''If the supervisors can dig up money for bridges, why can't they expend some on Grand avenue or Glendale ave- nue, or some of the other poor roads in this section?' was the gist of these queries.
 In a recent symposium printed in a local paper on road. conditions of this district. practically every business man in Glendale was a unit in denouncing the deplorable condition of the roads, and the taxpayers are now asking themselves why the supervisors are so insistent on discriminating against the Glendale district in the apportionment of road funds
 If there was money available to build bridges, then there was money available for fixing up our roads" de- clared one of these business men. and the fact that <he supervisors appro- priated the money for the Buckeye and Wickenburg sections and continue to ignore road conditions here must make it apparent that they are discriminat- ing against Glendale
