COMMITTEE NAMED FOR INVESTIGATION
 IF COUNTY DIVISION

MESA. April 23.-That the Maricopa county board of supervisors should pear in mind the possibility of a divis- loh or this county at some future date ana that the amount of funds for the proposed new court house should be determined with that possibility in inlnd was the opinion arrived at by Ilse Mesa Commercial club on WedneS- day night when over half a hundred or the members assembled for a gen. eral get-together social and business meeting
 It was clearly brouht out by the various speakers that Mesa does not propose to stand in the way of or hamper the supervisors present plans m the erection of a new court house. At the same time it was made clear that if county division should be effected Maricopa county would not need the costly building now planned. A committee was appointed to draft a set of resolutions setting forth these facts.
 Manifesting it's interest in the ques- ton, the club appointed a committee or five to investigate further the pos abilities of a county division. The committee is to be permanent and will report back from time to time at future meetings.
 Aside from the business an inter esting program of entertainment, in- cluding vocal and instrumental selec- tions, was given. Altogether it was ei lINt SeI-COgoLn6r meeting, one IQdI even exceeded the expectations of the directors. and similar sessions are planned for the future.
