5 10 per So. Yd 1880
$49,56S.55
Above includes 1893 Gu. Yds. ex-
cavation which at $190 per Gu. Yd
(price bid at Flagstaff and on two
hills at Winslow) amounts to $1,366.70
Making total net cost of 12,047 So
Yds. Winslow paving figured on same
basis as Flagstaff paving $4S, ,202.85.
Or unit cost of $4.O011 per So. Yd.
as compared with a unit price of
$3.43 per So. Yd. at Flagstaff.
Aside from the two hills at Wins
low, the grading work at Flagstaff
was much heavier than at Winslow,
the total amount being approximate
ly 5000 cubic yards distributed pret-
ty generally over the project. At
Winslow the greatest amount of ex-
cavation is through the two hills
where 4,400 cubic yards of material
would have to be moved. The total
two hills is 1888 cubic yards. The
price bid for excavation at both
Flagstaff and Winslow was $19O per
cubic yard SO we have made allow
ance for this amount of excavation
at $1.9O per cubic yard in reducing
the bids to common basis
At Winslow new item was added
by the contractors, viz, 1882 lin. it.
of header boards at 10 per lin. it.
amounting to $8872O. No such item
appeared on the Flagstaff job and it
was not intended that it should ap-
pear in the WinslOw bid Your wire
to us of August Goth, stating that
paving and grading were bid at $405
per square yard, gravel shoulders
S so per square yard, reinforced con-
crete for bridge $4,000 and all items
as previously bid by Warren Broth
ers, is incorrect in that no mention
is made of this item for header
boards which did not appear in the
previous bid
This confirms our statement to the
Council that the Winslow bid was
higher than the Flagstaff work. We
think that it should be lower at this
time as labor and material are cheap
er than a year ago. This bidding
also does not comply with the Gov
ernment requirement that competi
tion be secured On Federal Aid work.
On this account we do not care to
submit it to the Bureau for their
approval.
We WILL therefore, pursue one of
the following courses: first, if you
can secure a bitulithic bid equal to
the low concrete bid received by us
for this paving we will submit these
prices to the Federal Government and
believe that Federal Aid can be Sc
cured
Second: If you will change your
proceedings by adopting the concrete
type of paving, we will approve of
the bid submitted by Contractor Dan
LaRoe.
Third: If you do not care to pave
at the present time, we will use the
Federal funds on some other road
in Navajo County.
We have discussed this matter full
ly with the Federal Aid Engineer,
District and Regional. You are aware
that it was with great difficulty that
Federal approval of this Project was
secured in the beginning. This pro-
iect has been delayed for a long
time. We are afraid that if you do
not take immediate action, this pro-
iect will be cancelled
Yours very truly,
THOS. MADDOX,
State Engineer.

October II, 1921
GEO. c. CRESWELL, Mayor,
Winslow, Arizona.
Dear Sir:
We are in receipt of letter of Oc-
tober 9Th, by Mr.. Geo. j. Schaefer,
acting city clerk, enclosing copy
of Warren Brothers bid for paving
thru the Town of Winslow. Mr..
Schaefer states that a copy of this
bid had previously been sent us but
so far we have not received it.
We have been waiting for this bid
in order that we might make a com
parison of it with the cost of the
work done at Flagstaff; the report
having been made, thru the press
and otherwise, that the Winslow bid
was no higher than the Flagstaff bid.
In order to arrive at a true COM
parison it will be necessary to re-
duce the bids to the same basis in
both cases. At Flagstaff the con-
tractor bid S1.90 per cubic yard for
all grading work connected with the
paving; the bid price of S343 per
square yard being for paving alone.
The bid pertaining to paving at Wins
low consists of the following items
12,047 So. Yds. paving at
$3.50 per So Yd............ $44,5739O
12,047 So. Yds. paving at

INTRODUCING
MIR, T0BIN

Edward ]. Tobin, superintendent OF
the public schools of Cook County
Illinois, apparently thinks more OF
common sense than he does of the
criticisms of his brother and sister
educators.
Mr.. Tobin, man of courage in a
hidebound environment, has authorized
his teachers to make use of the ex-
pressions "He Don't" and "It's Me-"
Ninety per cent of all educated people,
he claims, use these same "ungram-
maticaP expressions in every day life.
what good does it do to teach
school children a form of expression
that is outlawed by common usage
and by a sense of good FORM" he
asks, referring to at is l."
What good, indeed?
Tobm should be in the newspaper
game, where editors kick ANTICIPATED
grammars into the discard and adopt
their own forms of speech, keeping
both feet on the ground and the edi-
torial eye on the pulse of the people.

THE PUBLISHERS
RESPONSIBILITY

Much demoralizing reading is print
ed on the plea that "the public wants
it. A mother might as excusably
give her child the glistening arsenic
for which it cries. The publisher
bears a responsibility to society like
that of the preacher or the teacher.
This, at any rate, is the view of the
Publishers of The Youths Companion.
From its first issue to the present it
has been constant force for character
building. And with all that it has
been so wisely edited that no publica-
ton exists of more varied charm, more
inexhaustible and refreshing sources
of interest.
The 81 issues of the coming year
will be crowded with serial stories,
short stories, editorials, poetry, facts
and fun. Only $3.50 for an amount
of reading equal to thirty-fve volumes
of fiction, humor, ETC.

that they know will produce it.
Country districts have not become
so badly tainted with modernism. The
people are more in the open, are Of
tener in communion with nature, and
breathe more freely of the purity of
life away from the dens of vice and
iniquity.
That is the situation today; but who
can tell as to the morrow?
1t depends upon the mental and NOR
al training of our young people.
The ideas we instill into the minds
of little children will have much to dc
with the bent of their mentality when
they reach the age of maturity.
II we implant in their minds a heal
thy respect for the teachings of Chris
tianity and devotion to the cause OF
right and justice, of purity in thought

of viciousness that is sweeping the
adult world.

That CITY STUFF

City newspapers and moving picture
films are becoming filled with sensa-
tional sex stuff.
The reason is simple
The average city mind runs in that
direction and demands what it wants.
The city newspaper that caters most
to the popular demand gets the cir
culation, and circulation gets the adj
vertising, and advertising supplies the
dividends.
The same rule applies to the cinema
houses.
\ good, healthy, elevating picture
will draw few people, but a sersa-
tional sex or murder film will fill the
house. Moving picture men are after

On the old days mothers kept their
daughters almost in total ignorance
of the ways of the world as regards
the masculine sex.
Today such course is fraught with
danger for the girl.
It is no longer possible to keep a
young girl in ignorance. There is al
ways some one ready to impart the
knowledge which she has right to
possess, and if it comes from one who
is not overly scrupulous in her ways
it often throws glamour of attrac-
tiveness around unconventional acts
upon which the respectable world
frowns.
All that girl should know prior to
her wedding day-and there is much
sho'lld be told her by her mother.
The jealous solicitude of mother
hood can not be replaced by any other,
nor can the responsibilities it entails
De safely shifted to other shoulders.
The young girl approaching matur-
ity has a right to know. 1t is the duty
Of the mother to tell her.
