SOME DECISIONS TO BE MADE

The Federal Aid highway law, among other changes makes it compulsory upon the state highway gneer in each state and locate the primary and secondary highways each sate There has been request already from Pima county to the state highway engineer asking that he make the road from Tucson thru Ajo primary highway and this he has stated he cannot do the road from Phoenix the Gillespie Dam from Buckeye and then to Stoval is the primary high way And the road from Phoenix to Florence thence Tucson. Tombstone, Bisbee and Douglas was named a state highway ten ago, take 1t that the original state highway is near first if not the first state highway that will be definitely named primary state highway of transconnenal requirements and therefore entitled to all aid available under the system of centage distribution Of federal aid mOnies
 Two things however, are certain We must have the Rodeo to Yuma interstate highway via Phoen1x and also the road from Tucson to Yuma via Ao but the real sou
 on pertaining to connection must be worked out by Pima and Yuma counties with the state engineer and Santa Cruz and Cochse counties hope that Pima and Yuma will waste no time in arriving at the solution.

son of Oscar recalled a bet" he once
made with much-wed Nat c. Goodwin.
Hammerstein's contention was, he
said, that there would ultimately be
more former Mrs. Hammersteins than
there were ex-Mrs. Goodwins. Said
the ambitious Arthur yesterday.
