Harry Heap
 Harry w. Heap took different angle than the question of employ meut. q am in favor of roads be- cause we were always in favor of roads This chamber of commerce has worked for ten years building iup sentiment for good roads and now is the time to take advantage of it. I am in favor of the proposition because we need the roads. The time to buy is when the other fellow wants to sell This applies to labor. Again, think it a wise move now because times are hard"
 Morris Goldwater
 T have had some experience" said Mayor Morris Goldwater, "in trying to sell bonds for the city of Pres colt and I am decidedly of the opin- ion that the offer made is a good one I think the principal reason is best brought out by MT. Heap. The board of supervisors should be eu- couraged and endorsed, and insofar as I am concerned I am in favor of the sale of the bonds at this time.
 Howard Cornick
 Howard Cornick, vice-president of the chamber of commerce, while not assuming the chaismanship, arrived in time to express his views: "Per- tsonally, I am strongly in favor of public improvements" He tersely explained his viewpoint by relating a story of gentleman present at the meeting, who believed that if Q bath tub cost more in Prescott, that was no reason why we should bathe in a wash tub; if electricity was a little higher here than elsewhere, that was no reason why we should burn oil lamps, etc.
 "As business proposition, I think it IS no more than fair to pay a com mission. What constitutes a proper commission is a bankers question. II do believe, however, a commission lis proper and as near as I can judge from Yuma county's case it is proper Ito pay such a commission out Of the general fund. It may look a little high to my business judgment but that is a question to be settled by the board of supervisors and l am willing to pay more to get what we need"
 M. B. Hazeltine
 Personally said M. B. Hazel tine, T am perfectly willing to ap- prove the action of the board of su- pervisors in this proposition, and while we may charge this $45,O00 commission 10 the general fund, in my own mind I believe it could go for many items: in keeping peace, in building for better prosperity and in putting Yavapar county on the map"
 Dixon Fagerberg
 Dixon Fagerbcrg said: q am in favor of selling the bonds at this time, because I believe that by the time the money is available labor will be as cheap as it will be Tor some time 10 come"
 James Gardner
 q dislike the idea of a commis- sion being paid remarked James l. Gardner, but, all circumstances con sidered, I believe it might be best for the county to accept the present offer"
 Ray Vyne
 Ray Vync believed that it was purely good business to accept the proposition as it is now offered.
 q am in favor of the sentiments expressed by Judge Wells aud by the entire meeting" said Chairman Fred ericks, who then put the motion of Judge E. w. Wells, which was sec onded by Harry Heap, crystallizing the sentiment of the meeting unani- mously in endorsing the action of the board of supervisors in accepting the proposed offer as outlined by the chairman of the board.
 Henry Lewis
 H. w. Lewis, member of the high way commission, who spent Monday in Prescott going into details re- spccting the sale of the bonds, placed the present offer before the citizens of Jerome yesterday and the con census or opinion of those interview cd was that they insisted t,.a Eo-r, . should accept the present offer and get work under way with t:c least possible delay
 C. M. Colv0corcsscs, of Humboldt. 1 while not being present at the meet ing, tclcphoned his sentiment He { hoped that the board would i accept the offer and start work im- mediately. This would give Yayapai ! county the roads that it badly needs . and would doubtly serve its purpose . at this time by helping those out of
