 CASH SUBSCRIPTIONS

That the lowest bid for the construc- tion of the Flagstaff armory is S, 900 more than provided for by both the state and subscriptions was made known yesterday when a representa- tive of the firm of Gum and Solberg which submitted the lowest offer, S33 ,000, took the matter up with Wal ter s. Ingalls,, adjutant general. Colo nel Ingalls, stated that it would be necessary to call either for new bids or ask Flagstaff to donate $3,0O0 more to the s5,000 already contributed by the city.

voy, such sections of the Agua Caliente- Yuma road will enable the convoy to cross that part of Arizona
 The county of Maricopa feels that it is in position to do what work is re- quired inside it's county line, without any help from the state, while we will not refuse and we do not ask your help for any work east of Agua Caliente in Maricopa county, but we do earnest ly urge your assistance for that part of the line of the highway west of the Maricopa county line.
 We desire to call your attention to the clipping from The Arizona Repub- ican of January 21. We depIore the attitude of our fellow citizens of Tue son and Yuma, especially at this time when cooperation between communi- ties is so necessary in the upbuilding of our splendid state.
 Our committee would appreciate a reply as early as is convenient, in order that we may advise the represen- tative of the Bankhead association just what help can be counted upon
 With expressions of regard,
 Yours respectfully,
