and other banking experts, figured out a form of road bonds that would save the county over $S00,000 in in terest on this loan The saving is based on the interest obligations in cured by Pima county on an iden- tical amount of road bonds. The re- payment of the bonds would begin at once on the basis of $75,0OO year.
 Following this, there was a gen. eral discussion. Fishel told why the Ash Fork road would cost more than any other unit, saying that much of it was road through malpais forma- ton, and involved crossing Hell Can yon, near Cedar Glade.
 The meeting was the largest and had the most widely varied attend ance of any similar session for sev- eral years. There were big delega- tions from across the moutnain. Members of the newly formed and energetic Agua Fria Automobile club at Humboldt and Mayer were present. Merchants, miners, smelter- men, professional men ,laborers, cat le and sheep raisers, farmers and or dinary newspaper individuals were present.
 In part, MT. Talley said: "The Yavapai county highway commission has done splendid work It is deserv- ing of the support and cooperation of every public spirited man and woman in the county. Very few of us realize the work which has been undertaken by the commission and he work outlined in the report and he map. Yavapai is a large county sparsely populated, and every tax I payer should be in favor of good roads and especially are they inter ested in their own localities, for which reason it is impossible to please everybody. This would neces- 3itate the building of a permanent ystem of roads and boulevards to .very town, mining camp, farm and district in the county. This, we all
 ealize, is impossible. It would be l l burden, a tremendous burden upon he taxpayers, a load which they l could not carry. The duties of the commission were, therefore, to take nto consideration the present roads and highways of the county and liter careful consideration to make such recommendations as in their ! opinion would greatly improve the | present system. In some cases this would mean to construct new roads n other cases to make various changes. The splendid work done by he commission speaks for itself, and $ a member of the Yavapai County Chamber of Commerce and as rep esentative of one of the largest tax
 ayers, I desire to express my ap- )rcciation of the work and bespeak he cooperation and support of every taxpayer in the county"
 c. M. Colvocoresses reviewed the pads situation from the time in August when at a chamber of com- merce meeting it was decided to go lhcad and put the question to the axpayers requesting the board of su- Dervisors to appoint a highway com mission whose duty it would be to 20 yer the present roads and pro- posed roads of Yavapai county and hen make their report to the board
 f supervisors. He recalled that while the chamber of commerce had lecided to do this work, there were many who rather than help, felt in clined to state their views on the street corners and elsewhere pro- claiming that the number of sigma lures could not be secured and if hey were secured that the board of supervisors would not appoint a commission which would line up the work and even if they did that the bond issue would not carry. He pointed to the fact that their number IS now minus.
 With every man in this hall to- night working for the passage of the bond issue, it will carry by the larg- est majority of any problem ever at empted in Yavapai county"
 He spoke of the splendid work which the commission had done and of the fact that it was now up to the taxpayers of the county to show their faith in their county by voting the bond issue.
 "Wc gave them the job. Let's sec that it's finished and vote the bonds. I'm for good roads, first, last and all the time. James A. Hope, president of the Bashford-Burmister Co.,, one
