BULLETIN TELLS IF
 WORK AND PLANS IF
 GOOD ROADS ASSN.

To outline the results of the meet ing of the Arizona Good Roads as- sociation here last Saturday, Harry Welch. secretary of the organization, has mailed to all the county engineers of the state bulletin which not only contains this informative matter but which also asks for all available data on the comparative cost, life and wearing value of dirt. rock, crushed gravel and all other types of roads constructed in this state. It is pro- posed to publish this information in concise form, with recomme endations concerning drainage, patrol and maintenance of roads.
 The bulletin follows in full:
 In q state of great distances like Arizona it is necessary that we get together as often as possible. It also will be found of advantage to have a central clearing house for inter- changing ideas and suggestions and this is especially true of the import ant and interesting subject of good roads.
 "The assembling of road lnforma 1 tion of all kinds is the chief reason i for. the existence of the Arizona Good Roads association and during the several years in which the associa- tion has operated it has rendered ser Vice not only TO It's members put U | officials and legislative bodie: charged with preparation of road leg islation and road construction.

 when the association, by reference t' it's files, supplied within a few hour:
 copies of bills on highway subject

 BIDS FUR MATERIAL
 FOR|MPROVEMENTS

Bids on contracts for the fufa<DE ing of material for the extension of city sewer and water systems and for a new fire station, for which bonds were sold March 19, flooded the commission meeting today. In addition to hundreds of sealed bids, more than 60 representatives of com peting firms were present at the meeting of commissioners yesterday morning. City Manager Thompson said that never before in the histoFy of the city were so many bids si mitted.
 Because of the unexpected ava | lanche of bids commissioners decided | to postpone awarding of contracts until tomorrow afternoon at o'clock. | City Engineer Hitchcock and large corps of assistants remained at the city hall until a late hour last night opening and checking the proposals.
 Early indications showed tha. prices for almost every contract would fall below the original esti- mates. The bonds allow for expendi- lures of S450.000 on the water system extension, s14O.000 on sewer exten- sions and s65.000 for a new fire sta tion and equipment.
 Before fhe bids were taken under consideration the sale of the bonds was completed. Although practically sold March 19, there were technicali-
 ties which had to be straightened

It is the general tendency of the people as a whole to under estimate the value of dairy products as a food. In the mind of the average person milk is only a beverage or something to drink instead of tea, coffee or wat CT; butter is spread on bread to make the bread more appetizing and cheese is a kind of luxury
 How many people know that a quart of milk is equal in energy pro- ducing value to eggs, pounds of chicken, oranges, .79 pound sirloin steak, 6.55 pounds tomatoes, 3.5 pounds asparagus, or that one pound of butter on energy basis equals II. s pounds of potatoes G6 average size) 40 pounds of lettuce. 3l dozen eggs. 3 loaves of wheat bread, 343 pounds of tomatoes, pounds sirloin steak, s quarts of oysters. or that one pound of cheese on energy basis equals 2A pounds of chicken, pounds of green peas, Is eggs, 2.s pounds of fish, 1.69 pounds of sirloin steak, pounds of English walnuts, Al pounds of baked beans.
 But few people know that cheese is valuable muscle builder and one of the best substitutes for meat
 Most people think of ice cream as
 
 | had a full meal. However, it has 2 high food value and should be used 1 as a part of a balanced meal instead of being consumed after one has eat en a full meal.
 One quart of ice cream GAS pei cent faD on energy basis equals 49. pounds black raspberries (about fl: boxes), .6i pounds of caramels. 5I. pounds bananas (about Is averag, sized bananas).
