Here Is Report Of Highway Board In
 Full As Accepted
CFrom Wednesdays DaiIy.J


 The final report of the Yava- pal county highway commission was released for publication at the office of the board of supervisors yesterday afternoon, and today the Journal Miner" presents the report in full.
 At its regular meeting, the board accepted the report and ordered it filed.
 R. E. Donovan, clerk, Major Midg- ley and C. C. Stukey, members, spent considerable time consulting local banking experts yesterday and the day before, in order to arrive at the best possible form of bonds to be issued in connection with the pro posed program of road building. An | attempt will be made to better the proposition of Pima county, which, in issuing bonds for $1,500,O0O, finds itself obligated to pay in principal and interest about S3,050,000-or more interest than principal for its high ways.
 The work of arranging form of bonds that will be economical and at the same time attractive to the bond buying concerns, may take a month or more, it was learned yes terday. Hence the announcement of an election of the issue and program may be delayed considerably. It is felt, however, that a form of bonds can be figured out that will give Yav- apai county more for its money than either Pima, Pinal, Maricopa, Co., conino or Yuma counties. The lat ter county's road bonds are said to be selling at less than par. A prop osition may be made for refunding bonds beginning with the second year, thereby making part of the buyers capital available for rein vestment at once rather than after a lapse of five years.
