SIGN CONTRACT FUR
 HASSAYAMPA BRIDGE

The state highway department yes- terday signed the contract for the con- struction of a bridge over the Hassa- yampa, the contract being awarded to the Allied Contractors of Omaha for s2e,o57. Seven bids were submitted. none of (which were from local con- tractors.
 The bid covered the steep super structure, the piers and concrete floor of which will be constructed by the State.
 While the department had originally intended to have the bridge of two 100- foot trusses, after the call for bids was issued the flood that swept down the Hassayampa last August demonstrated the need of an extra span, which is cov- cred in the accepted bid. After the flood 1t was thought advisable to raise the grade three feet so as to provide more waterway and this, too, was done by the department.
 As soon as the necessary material can be procured work will be started by the state, according to Fritz M Holmquist, assistant state engineer Mir. Holmquist said that he believed that the work could be begun shortly and that as soon as the state had com pleted its part the superstructure would be begun According to the contract I this work will be finished in 90 days.

While details regarding the operation of loans were not disclosed in the brief announcement, these plans will be made public. it is expected. imme- diately upon the arrival of the Cali fornia representative. who is expected in Phoenix before the close of the present week.

COMMITTEE BEGINS WORK ON MOVEMENT
 FUR SUBURBAN DAY

Following the proposal of the Mer- chants and Manufacturers association that the merchants of Phoenix set aside a special day each month as Suburban Day. when particular attention would be paid to out-of-town customers. ac- tive work under a special committee was begun yesterday.
 The plan which is being furthered by the merchants is to have each one .have a special sale on the designated Suburban Day sale which would appeal to residents of the surrounding districts and communities. It is be- lieved that the proposed plan will not only increase the total volume of busi- ness in Phoenix, but also will prove a needed boon for suburban residents, as 1t will mean that their own particular needs would be taken care of on speci- fled days.
 The proposal is now in the hands of committee comprising Ben Rice, Vic Hanny and George w. Mickle. This committee started yesterday to bring the plan to the attention of all the mer- chants of the city and it is hoped that a definite report concerning Suburban Day win be ready early next week.

Financing the Enterprise.
Some working capital is needed at
the outset for the purchase of ade-
quate equipment. Expenses for rent.
fuel, salaries. raw materials, and mis-
cellaneous items. too, must be met foi
some time before returns can he real
lied from the products canned. 1t is
therefore necessary to make DEFINITE
plans for financing the kitchen, based
on a careful estimate of probable eX-
penses. Community Kitchens have been
financed in various ways-for example
by school boards, by boards of trade.
by business mems associations, by
loans from banks or from individuals,
and by membership fees. Direct gifts
from individuals or small group OF
persons is, perhaps, in the end. the
least satisfactory method. The mem

ion of the United States department
of agriculture, which is advocating
community canning Kitchens.
