 PLANS ID REPAIR
 TIE APACHE TRAIL

Action concerning the raising of $15,000 for the immediate repair of the Apache Trail was foreshadowed yesterday when the board of directors of the chamber of commerce resolved to take the matter up with the board of county supervisors. This decision followed a report by A. T. Esgate concerning the work needed on the Traii which had been compiled after conferences with the supervisors, of ficials of the Salt River Valley Water Users association, and railroad off cials who have issued a ultimatun that no traffic is to be routed by them over the Apache Trail until it has been repaired.
 Esgate also made report on a conference he had with Maurice Clark, manager of the Southwestern Bankhead Highway association. with reference to a Phoenix monthly sub scription to the advertising plans of the association. This matter will be decided by a special committee con- sisting of A. T. Esgate. F. J. Elliott and W. W. Lawhon, president of the chamber of commerce.
 The report of Secretary Harry Welch on the proposed meeting of the cantaloupe. lettuce and grape grow CTS of the valley was received and plans for the meeting approved. The chamber of commerce committee. to assist in this meeting includes Mar shall Humphrey, J. J. Gould and Fred Tait.
 A suggestion that the public works committee should meet at weekly luncheons and that a system of TO- tating chairmanships should be fol- lowed was approved.
 A letter from P. c. Salisbury con- corning sending delegates to the min ing congress to be held at Chicago on Oct. IT, was referred to the sec retary Spilsbury's letter follows:
 Arizona will take a leading part in this meeting and will be repre- sented by several of the larger mines, both in exhibits and addresses Our chamber of commerce is interested from a business standpoint, and I think it would be good plan to have Phoenix represented as such at the convention by two or three business mep-not by engineers. It would be an opportunity to place some of the advantages of Phoenix before the public, and I think that circulars printed here could be distributed at | the convention to great advantage. | There is no reason why Phoenix should not join in mining conven- tion as our industries are so closely related to mining. If live representa- tives could be appointed by the 1 chamber of commerce to study the methods used in this convention which might be duplicated at our own industrial meeting in December, I it would be of considerable advantage to us. We could also make arrange
 ment for all Arizona exhibits to be l transferred from Chicago to Phoenix, l as I am sure that the mines and l manufacturers interested would be 1 glad to do this work at their own l expense.
 1 Another advantage in appointing 1 business men or farmers on the dele l gation would be that they would l have opportunity to learn the scope I of mining in this country and to ap- I preciate the large part Arizona is 1 taking in supplying the country $ l needs.''
