roads? Where does it get its authority? We must have these paved roads. l am for the bonds. Our paved road to Phoenix is an asset and valuable in vestment to Mesa, and we want more of these paved roads. There isn't a business man in Mesa who would be Willing to give up our paved highway. The lack of paved highways is causing great damage to us at present The Southern Pacific railroad company is advising travellers not to visit the Roosevelt dam on account of the poor condition of the road This sort of thing hurts the county. We must have paved roads and we must have them right now. Vote for the bonds"
 F. A. Ware, farmer. said: These bonds are absolutely necessary. If the paved highways save us only one au tomobile tire per year, it would pay for the bonds. A car or truck lasts twice as long over paved highways. Vote for the bonds.''
 L. P. North, hardware merchant said: T have saved money and so have the other people of the Mesa district through the paving of the highway be- tween Mesa and Phoenix. A paved highway saves gasoline and tires and it extends the life of our cars and other rolling stock 75 per cent. The bond issue raises the taxes but very little, and it means more money in our poclx- ets.'
 Dan Kleinman said: Sentiment for 1 the highway bonds is very strong. Peo- pie realize that paved highways raise the value of their land and properties; that they create better marketing con- ditions, better school going facilities for the children, and better living con ditions generally. They know that paved highways are an economical fac- tor"

 J. T. Leseuer, wholesale grocer, said:
 T am for the bonds. We want all the good highways we can get, and the sort of highways which We are going to get will place us among the progressive road communities of the country. Vote for the bonds."
 P. A. Isley, automobile man. said: l We should vote for the bondS The entire road program must be carried out, and not only just a little section of disconnected roads. This is the time to get our good highways" George A. Johnson said: "It would be the biggest mistake in the world not to avail ourselves of this oppor- tunity to get good paved highways
 Suppose we did not pass these bonds
 then the contractors would have to I leave after a while and it would cost us much more money later on to get contractors to carry out the remaining | and disconnected part of the work ! There is no argument against paved highways. Our Rotary club today has endorsed the bonds and We will all work for them Vote Yes for the good road bonds on Dec. 31' is going to be our slogan
 P. M. Le Baron. real estate operator and former captain of the A. E. F., said: Let's have the good roads. This is the
