from to IL percent. A few years
ago when money was cheap and more
plentiful, taxes were often bid in for
the percent penalty alone.
The buyers were particular to bid
on no farm lands on which there was

the hail insurance draws only 6 per-

emit that this is going to leave the

to accept these warrants at all.
Ward county will be affected in
other ways. The county will have to
register it's funds and the warrants
cashed later. These will also be dis
counted at quite a large percentage.
The county was on cash basis during
the summer and it was hoped that !
it would soon be able to go on a cash

seven federal aid projects was really intended for this project alone The state highway department offered to put $100,000 or half of the emergency appropriation into this construction but could not allot any more because part had been spent on the paving between Phoenix and Tempe, and the road from Florence to Mesa.
 Disastrous floods, which came Thanksgiving day, 1919, showed that the delay was providential because the nigh water not only wrecked a part of the Antelope Hill bridge, but demonstrated that bridge at this point could not be rebuilt and main tained without the expenditpre of sev- eral hundred thousand dollars. For many miles the proposed route be- tween Agua Caliente and the Ante iope Hill bridge was flooded with four or dive. feet of water.
 Confronted With Problem
 With a through improved highway from Douglas to Phoenix and another from Clifton to Phoenix, assured by the expenditure of large sums origi- mating in the wealthy mining counties of the state, the state highway depart ment is confronted with the problems of continuing the road from Phoenix to California without sufficient funds provided for its construction
 The building of the Gillespie dam near Gila Bend has offered a partial solution and the department and the board of supervisors of Maricopa coun ty have now entered an agreement with the dam builders to pay the cost of additional concrete piling neces- sary to support bridge on top of the dam, thereby saving the state about $250,000 in the cost of bridge con- struction. They also secured the right to use the concrete apron of the dam as ford until tho bridge is completed.
 Provide Direct Route
 The survey of this new road, by way of the Gillespie dam, to Yuma showed that the additional distance by this route was only two miles over that of the old road which was some 200 miles in length.

Marlcopa county, work will soon be started. On July 23rr last, the coun- ty highway commission made uppli- cation to the sstate highway depart ment to match federal aid in the con- struction of che Yuma road west from Phoenix Before night the state high way department had mailed a project statement to the federal government, and the plans and specifications nave gone forward, which means that $2OO,- 900 will be used to start the construc- tion of this road from the Phoenix end. The first 32 miles will be paved as this is lnder the Maricopa county four million dollar bond issue, passed in May, 1919.
 Turned Down Program
 A year ago the state highway de- partment submitted to the Maricopa county highway commission d pro- gram that would have. started con struction Of an additional II mile unit and the building of a bridge across the Hassayampa river. This proposi- ton was turned dov,l Dy the county commission, so the state highway de- partment has applied for federal aid to match Mariccpa county's- proportion of the state 75 per cent road fund in order to begin the construction of the bridge across the Hassayampa near Arlington
 A federal aid project, known as No. I, was submitted by the state high way department in 1918 for the con struction of 50 miles Of road from the Antelope Hill bridge to the Yuma MaricOpa line near Agua Caliente. This line was surveyed and estimates made in 1918 showed that $360.OO0 "ould be necessary to build this high way. While federal aid was allotted to this project mo funds were appro- priated by the ilegislature to provide Arizona's share of Inc expense and the starting of the work was accord ingly delayed.
 Differsnees of Opinion
 Some decided differences of opinion grew out of this transaction, as Yuma county members to the legislature claimed that the $2OO,000 emergency appropriation passed to carry on some

Military Officer Elects Man and Wife / from Home; They Appeal to Court; Army
 Man Has Them Arrested for Bootlegging

Charging that he and his wife had been forcibly ejected from their home at Naco by Captain Coyle, of the army post at that place, Harry James swore to complaint against CoyIe yesterday in the justice court at Naco, whereupon Captain CoyIe imme- diately had both Mir and Mrs. James arrested on a charge of bootIegging.
 James declares that the house in which he has been living is not on the military reservation, but that in spite of this fact, it was forcibly entered while he was absens his household goods and provisions thrown out. and his wife and himself ordered to leave, without any sort of a hearing or legal procedure.
 James said that he was employ. ed as mechanic at the army camp at Naco and that Captain CoyIe discharged iIifi. He said that the captain came to the house at 12:3o o'clock in the morning, appeared to be much ex. cited, and ordered him to leave the place. James went to Fott Huaohucn to complain to higher officials there. and 'that night, while he was gone, he said that Captain Coyle came to the house and gave Mrs. James 20 minutes in which 10 get out.

rect route from Phoenix and Buckeye to Gila Bend, thence on to Yuma. It will also allow the road now under construction in Yuma county to be used as joint route to Phoenix or to Ajo and Tucson.
 The new road will bs out of the silt bottom land along the Gila river and is close to the railroad so that pos sible breakdown will not involve the danger of death from thirst which has resulted in several cases on the pres ent road.
 To Cost Eight Millions A paved highway from Phoenix to Yuma would cost $S,000,000. This ex- penditure obviously is impossible at this time. A first class surfaced high way from central Arizona to Yuma and the coast can be reasonably eX- pected in the near future.
 As far as Yuma county is concern ed this will be secured by matching $250,00 of it's bond issue with federal aid and the state highway depart ment has done it's part by allottins S250.000 of the federal aid apportion- ment for Arizona to this work.
 Road Partly Completed
 In Pima county the construction of road from Tucson to Ajo is already partly completed. The army motor convoy covered this route this far, with ease. The road from Ajo to Gila Bend or Sentinel, however, is not yet in good condition. In Maricopa coun- ty the importance Of road from Buckeye west is fully realized. Though this propect has not as yet been financed in Maricopa county. it can be taken care of in the proposed additional bond issue of s4,50C,O ,O00.
 In the meantime the proposed route from Phoenix to Yuma, via Gila Bend. is as good for travel as the old route on the north side of the river. In addition to being along the railroad it will pass through 72,000 acres ot land which will come under cultiva. tion with the completion of the Giles pie dam, now under construction. This highway will also connect the capitol of the state with the growing mining town of Ajo

 PHOENIX, Oct. g. - Yuma county has not yet sold it's bond issue, but the long delayed work on the Yuma to Phoenix or Ajo road is under con struction. This was brought about by the use of the state road tax fund allotted by law to Yuma county. sup plemented by federal aid. The Ari- zona Highway department provided over s50,000 worth of equipment, the powder and survey work; while a force of men already employed by Yu- ma county was taken over by the state. Much Yuma county equipment is also being used together with the same rock cruSher used by the recla- nation service, already set up and we'll located for this road construc- tion. This work is under the direc- tion of w. c. Lacy, county engineer of Yuma county, who is under the general supervision of the state en- gineer.
 Need Bond Issue Money
 Only part of this big undertaking can be completed before the $25O, 900 allotted from the Yuma county bond issue is made available, but the DOT tion now under construction between Yuma and Wellton is of greater bene- fit to through and local traffic The Yuma bonds were sold about a year ago but thi money has not yet been received.
 The completion of the road from Yuma to Blaisdell will open up to traf fic 50 miles of highway, as Q part of this road in the vicinity Of Dome was constructed by couMy and state forces several years ago.
 First Federal Aid
 This will be the first federal aid se- cured by Yuma county, the state high way department, under a previous ad- ministration, having neglected to se- cure federal aid matching the S5O,O00 appropriated by the legislature, to OK tend the Antelope HiIi bridge, all though federal aid was available at the time of this construction and could have been used in building a road from the bridge on toward Phoe- nix
