 While the two proposed measures, both initiative, being considered by the committee. are entirely separate and distinct, both are regarded as of vital importance in the cause of good roads in Arizona. One proposed ini- tiative measure is to increase the linn itation on bonded debt by an amend ment to the state constitution, which bv the present provision limits the bonded debt to an extremely low figure.
 with the bonded debt limitation in- creased to a point proportionate with inc assessed valuation and wealth of
 
 funds for needed public enterprises and improvements would be possible.
 Tie second proposed initiative meas ure being considered has for it's object the creation of a complete state high way department, centering about a state highway commission, to take care of the highway affairs of the state. The title of this proposed meas ure. setting forth it's main purposes reads aS follows:

SEND REQUESTS FUR
 HIGHWAY EQUIPMENT

Request for equipment for the state and county highways provided under the Kahn bill were forwarded to Washington yesterday by Thomas Maddock. state engineer.
 The equipment requested by the diff ferent counties were valued from S3 900 to S100000 with the exception of Santa Cruz county which notified the state engineer that it was in no need of equipment Yuma county made no reply when asked to list it's needs.
 Included in request of the counties was that of the state and in order to insure sufficient funds it asked the boards of supervisors to authorize the different counties to contribute a part of it's 75 per cent road tax fund to pay freight on the equipment desired by the state. Most of the counties gave the authority an exception being Maricopa county which stated that il could not afford to contribute any part of it's portion of the 75 per cent fund. The request for equipment for this county amounted to S30.000 in value.

In direct contradiction of the testi- moHy the previous day of three physi- clans that the bones presented in evi- Gence in the trial of the two Hindus charged with murder were from per son at least 9 years old, the prosecu- tion yesterday placed on the stand pr. W. O. Sweek who stated that ossifica- tion of the bits of bones was not com plete. as had been stated by the other physicians. and that they might be from a person from IT to 25 years of age. This, he said. was as near to a persons age as could be told from bones.
