 to have federal aid applied to it. Co., conino county has issued bonds to build it's sections of the road across that county; Apache county has also voted funds to build it's roadway to the New Mexico county line, where it is to be met with good road through New Mexico. San Bernardino county on the west is expending $1,5OO,0OO on it's part of the same transcontin- ental highway, and we should not be laggards in the game. Everywhere you go in this county you will be im- pressed by the needs of good roads. Let us one and all get behind the movement. and put it over with hun dreds of votes to spare. You will never regret your vote for the meas ure; it will be worth more than the dollars represent.
 And now for the hospital Mohave county needs a hospital where sick and injured may be taken care of at small expense. Just think of the many terribly injured men and women having to make the trip to the hospi- tals of Los Angeles, when they should be cared for at this point. And just think of the way poor fellows who have to go to the present inadequate hospital to suffer for months or per haps years, when proper treatment in an adequate hospital might have put them on their feet entirely cured. The hospital is to be a county affair. Men who are unable to pay their way in it will be taken care of as county pa tients, while those who have the nec- essary means of meeting hospital and doctor bills will be required to pay for their treatment. If we get the hos pital we can secure the services of one of the best surgeons in the coun- try, and we also have dependable doc tors now in the county to take care of you at all times. You will not be sub ject to the terrible ride across the desert to Los Angeles, and your life may be saved by timely care in this proposed institution. How many liv- es would have been saved had Mo- have county invested in such an insti- tuition some years ago. We know of many. Voters have approved of a hospital on several occasions, but no method has been devised to obtain the necessary funds to meet the expendi- ture. The present bond issue will remedy this failure, and we know that the taxpayer will not turn it down. The sum is not over burdensome. It will be necessary to meet all demands, because of the increased costs of build ing, increased costs of equipment and surgical supplies. Without proper equipment the hospital would be im- potent.
 Be a booster for old Mohave and make it possible to go on with the big road improvements that have been mapped out Push along the good work of internal development and make this county one of the foremost in the state. We have the resource and when the big dam becomes a reality we will be in position to take advantage at once of the opportunities this great project will bring us.
 You voters of the county have time and again voted for county hospital that would be adequate for all needs. Do not let personal prejudice cause you to fail in your duty to the people of the whole county by casting your vote against the bond issue at this time. Suffering miners and others demand that the hospital be built and equipped so that all classes of cases shall be treated whether the patient has money to pay or not. Delay in the building of this institution means, possibly, somebody's life.
