 Statement in Behalf of Twohy Bros A representative of The Arizano Re Ipublican interviewed MT. James F
 Horan, general manager of Twohy
 Brothers company, and called his at tention to the opinion of attorneys for
 the Highway commission and asked
 him if he had any comments to make
 for the purpose of publication the Re l publican would be pleased to gave
 the same to it's readers.
 Mir. Horan replied: q think Twohy Brothers company has already demon
 strated that they are interested ir
 building for Maricopa county the best \ system of concrete roads which 1t is possible to build under the most mod
 ern methods and with the greatest pos
 sible speed consistent with permanent construction. It has been the consisten policy of Twohy Brothers company fol years to bend its energies toward full filling its contracts and not in the in stitution or fIrtherance of law suits It has never been disposed to quibbl,
 over any legal details.
 "The taxpayers of Maricopa count! may be assured it is the desire of Twohy Brother company to complet, the road program in Maricopa count at the lowest possible figure to tn taxpayers of Maricopa. county and t make only a fair profit for itself. { the bond election to be held on Dec 31 carries and it is found necessary t let new contracts for the eXpenditur of the monies which may be obtaine' from the sale of the bonds which ma, be voted at the coming election. Twoh, Brothers company will submit compet tive bids for the completion of the roa' program. Unless there is an unforseel rise in the prices of material and la bor, the bid would not be in exces of that under which they are now con structing and if by the time such bid would be submitted the prices of ma terial and labor will be lower. sucl bids would be as much lower as is con sistent with such reduced prices"
