EAST VAN BUREN ST. |S.
 NOW PAVED AND OPEN. FUR ENTIRE LENGTH.

Paving of Van Buren street from l Central avenue to the city limits at l Sixteenth street was completed at o'clock yesterday afternoon. The full | length of the street will be open to traffic today for the first time since work was started November 20
 There were 21,000 square yards of paving used in the one and one-half miles of highway. Material in the new road consists of a four-inch cement concrete base with a, two-inch bithu- lithic Warrenite surface.
 Although Van Buren street has been considered for a long time as one of the most important arteries of traffic ia Phoenix. it is the last street in the downtown district to be paved. With the completion of the work yesterday there yet remain two sections of West Van Buren street unpaved. Bonds for paving the city's portion of the western length of this street were voted down by the people at the city bond election last November. Paving of the north half of West Van Buren street from Seventh avenue to Fifteenth avenue has been contracted. but the city is without sufficient funds to proceed with the work.
 One of the bad spots of the city is the unpaved section of Van Buren street between Central avenue and Third avenue. Work on this short strip has been withheld pending defi mite disposition of the Salt River canal. If the city accepts plans recently pre- scented by the firm of Bennett and Parsons professional city planners, this canal route will be definitely estab- lished and work on the street will be clrried out, according to Superintendent of Streets Hitchcock.
 The first petition for psving East Van Buren street was circulated more than seven years ago but failed to re- ceive signatures from the required 51 per cent of property owners. Since that time two other petitions met similar fate. until June, 1919, when a petition carried
 A resolution of intention was passed by the city commission July 3, 1919 and the resolution ordering the work done became effective September of the same year.
 A contract for the work was awarded to the Southwest Contracting company October 21 This precipitated a legal battle by property owners who opposed the paving program. An injunction served on the superintendent of streets prevented him from signing the con l tract for several months.
 During this litigation the Southwest ern company became insolvent and un-
 able to carry out its part of the con tract. Arrangements were then made
 for the work to be completed by War ren Brothers. In the interim between
 the awarding of the contract and actual
 starting of work prices increased and the Southern Surety company. which was on surety bond for the work, was required to put up additional money | over and above the amount called for 1 in the contract.
 This street connects at the eastern
 boundary of the city with the Mesa highway and at the western with the | Yuma highway. When the county car ries out it's plans to repave a strip o1 l the Mesa highway from Sixteenth street to the Grand canal, about three l miles, there will be one long continu- ous concrete highway of the bes
 grade from Central avenue to Mesa.

IF
 DISABLED CITIZENS
 PROVING 4 SUCCESS

Citing case after case of men and women injured in industry who have found themselves through the national rehabilitation program, Frank J. Clay ton of the federal board of vocational education and agent for industrial re- mobilization, discussed the plan yes terday.
 While it is still "a plan" in Arizona, 39 states in the United States have ac- cepted the national offer of funds which matched by state funds, finance the project. In the 39 states where it is being operated successfully scores of men and women who were a liabil- Ity to the state and nation are now able to make a living and have developed the sand and grit'' that was seem ingly lost for time, according to MT. Clayton.
 Industrial rehabilitation is not merely of economic value,' he de- clared. The mental status as well as i the physical status is considered. l Think of the state of mind of a man physically disabled who sees himself a drag on the community and go to the same man later when he has been fit i ted for something worth while. Nat urally his view of life is altered and his attitude toward the world has under gone a change"
 | Mr. Clayton came here from Nevada where a man who had been in a wheel chair for four years, dependent upon l family and friends had been made a wage earner. A girl who lost her arm in a mangling machine is operating an adding machine in Nevada bank At the time of the accident the girl had not completed the sixth grade, but the government sent her to part time school gave her course in higher l h n1 Tn n6 commercial training she was soon ready to ''carry on."
 A railroad man who lost both legs has a job with a willow ware concern
 There is place for everyone, says Mir Clayton, who yesterday held a conference with Dr. R. H. H, Blome director of vocational education, whC will have charge of the rehabilitation work in this state. The information will be received by the state head O
 the department from general source! and based on previous education, gen
 eral intelligence, associations and typ
 of injury the man or woman will b made fit. As far as possible the in jured person will receive instruction
 from educational institutions, bu
 where it is deemed necessary individ
 ual training will be given. Already a number of cases have bee
 filed with Dr. Blome for investigation
 but owing to the fact that no fund will be available until the bill Ina passed the legislature and been signe
 by the governor the work has been a
 a standstill.
 MT Clayton sees in Arizona a broa l field for endeavor, especially alon
 agricultural lines. He will continu
 to go over the program with Dr. Blom l today, leaving this evening for San
