NEW NAME FOR
WARREN IS YET
To BE CHOSEN
Luncheon Club Committee is
Anxious to Receive Sug-
gestions on Subject

The committee appointed by the
/ luncheon club for changing the name
of Warren, having noted the opposi-
ton to the name East DlSbee, and not
wishing to put over on the people of
Warren something the majority does
not want, has withheld the further
circulation of its petition, for the time,
at least. There seems to be some OBJ
lection to the name East" Bisbee.
Some other names have been sug-
gested, such as Bisbee Heights, Bis
bee Hills. etc, and there may be 9th
ers still better The committee rec
ognizes that there should be no rush
in a matter of this kind and, in or
der to give the people an opportunity
to suggest other names and give them
time to deliberate further on the ques-
ton of changing the name, has arrang
ed for suggestion box at the Warren
Drug store, whers those ahving Sug-
gestions for a name may drop them
| in the suggestion box, or mail them
to the Bisbee Daily Review. 1t is the
committees wish -<t;lt those making
suggestions sign their names so that
proper credit may be given. The Re-
! view has co-operated to the extent
that it has offered a-prize for the best
name suggested.
Later on it is the committees in
tention to give the people an oppor-
| tlInity of polling their preference for
| the names proposed.
Advantage In Prefix
The committee is favorably impress
! cd nv tho CnUoaStiOn nf mama haV-
! ing Bisbee prefix, such as Bisbee
! Heights, for the reason that with Bis
/ bee appearing first, errors by the mail
| clerks will, of course, be much less
frequent. than with the present name
of Warren, and there may be an ad-
vantage over the name East Bisbee
! in this respect. Bisbee Center and
| Bisbeelow have been suggested as
significant substitute names for Lo-
well. >
i There is an advantage in the Bis
| bee prefix, if the adjoining towns of
| the district will carry it out, in that
census reports, aliases. etc. Will
! show the population of the various
parts of the Bisbee District at the
/ same place in the list, under the name
! Bisbee, Bisbee Center, Bisbee Heights.
| ,Bisbee Junction, etc.
Many organizations and commercial
houses, in planning the trip sched-
.tnles OF their more simportant' agents
and executive officers, delegations, etc
base their program upon the popu-
lation of the towns en- route No stop
is made at towns of Insufficient pop
ulation, or if stop-overs are made at

Bisbee often Passed Up
Bisbee is often passed up by these
and other travellers of importance for
: the reason that the population as CIV
en- by census reports does not give
her the Importance that the popula-
ton of the Bisbee District justifies.
/ This is true in regard to newspaper
\ advertising also. Often in planning
an advertising compaikn the newSpa-
! pers in towns below certain popu-
lation are not used or, if they are
I used. the rate is regulated by the pop
ulation given by the census

! will adopt significant names having
/ the Bisbee prefix, this injustice to
the District can be in a measure cor
/ rected. 3 -,

Bisbee known under names having the
| Bisbee prefix, the votes case and 9th.
er statistics pertaining to the District
for state and county purposes, will be
grouped together giving a better in.
dication of the Districts Importance
as whole, to which it is entitled.
The committee announces its idea
of a change in name is not prompted
by any desire-to have Warren incor
porated into Bisbee, ard furthermore
that the residents of Bisbee have ne
voting power to bring about such a
change. An addition to an incorporat
ed city in Arizona con only be brought
about when a majority of the assess
ed valuation in such addition favors
it; a majority of the residents or a
majority of the property owners even
is not sufficient.
