JEROME UNION CARS
 DIDN'T BREAK LAWS
CFrom Fridays Daily)

l
 No violation of any order of the superior court was found by Judge Sweeney in the course of a contempt hearing yesterday morning, in which officers of the Jerome-Union Stage line were made respondents. At the close of the hearing, Judge Sweeney dismissed the case and turned the defendants loose
 Complaint had been made by of ficers of the Arizona Bus company that the recent injunction of the court had been violated when the Jerome Union carried certain parties across the mountain for hire using the new Prescott Jerome road.
 Admission was made by the Jc- rome Union men that they had done this, but it was clearly shown that they had operated in their character as service car owners and not as regular stage line, plying between here and the Verde country More over the passengers had been hauled under a contract and at a price above that charged by regular stage companies under their certificate of convenience and necessity.
 The law establishes a difference between stage lines and service cars, Judge Sweeney explained. A service car driver cannot make regular trips on a public highway over which he has no license to operate, nor, IS 1t to be expected that stage company can operate rent car service with out special permission. In this case, the complaint was based on tbc movement of the Clarkdale High school basketball team to and from Prescott to play the local High school and the carrying of a we'd ding party from Jerome to Prescott and return.
 The court. issued warning that violations of the injunctive order would not be passed up, but did not hesitate to declare that in this case no violation had been found

MORE NAMES ADDED
 TO THE BOND LISTS
HErom Friday,s DaiIvl

Offers were made in person and by telephone to the chamber of commerce to sign the roster of cit izcns who desire to back up the board of supervisors in its efforts to dispose of the highway bonds. While no figures were available. it was understood that the nearly $3O- coo pledged the first day of the en- tcrprisc was materially added to dur ing yesterday.
 A committee of Jerome people, learning through the Journal-Miner of the movement, had forms printed and went about in the copper camps securing pledges for the commission guarantee fund.
 Action or the citizens is regarded as strong incentive to the board to take action on the matter. With such prominent financial experts as M. E. Hazeltinc and R. N. Fred erickS convinced that the course of the board is the best under the cir cumstanccs and with the growing conviction that a three per cent com mission IS not too much to expect to pay for the sale of the bonds. there IS thought to be little chance that further difficulties will be thrown in the way of the issue.

Following the advice of their legal advisor, County Attorney John L. Sullivan, the Yavapai county board of supervisors yesterday rejected the Did of Stern Brothers x Company for the purchase of the Yavapai county road bonds, at par and ac- crued interest. with the understand ing that if such bid was accepted. q commission of three per cent would be paid from the general fund.

FIRE HAZARD REPORTS
 WANTED BY DEPARTMENT
CFrom Friday,s Dailyl

Prevention of fires ill Prescott rather than fire fighting after blazes have started, Is the firm policy oi the Prescott fire department, accord ing to a statement made yesterday by Bob Cornell, new chief of the department. The P. F. D., said Conncll is an out and out volunteer organization, with two paid men continually on duty at the fire sta ton. The department is there to cXtinguish fires once they are start ed, but Chief Connell requests the cooperation of every citizen in Pres colt in keeping them from starting.
 This can be done, Cornell said, if people will report all fire hazards they find, and keep an eye open to find them. In reporting fires or fire hazards it would facilitate matters if those reporting would call the fire department directly (phonc 445). in stead of reporting them to telephone central. and thus causing inconven- fence and delays.
 Losses by fire ill the city last year were only S1,0C0, and an attempt will be made this year to keep them even lower than that. Cooperation in prevention is the movement that will achieve this result.
 Chief Connell also stated that ga rage owners and. automobile men can help by never under any circum- stances attempting to fill car with gasoline while the engine is run ming. as it will in almost every in stance result in an explosion, fire and the loss of the car and possibly more

Bids on the better killing grades were 10 to Is cents lower and later most of the offerings sold at that decline.

STATE ENGINEER TOM
 MADDOCK WILL RESIGN
lFrom Fridav,s Dailyl


 PHOENIX, Jan. 20.-There IS nc change ill the situation with refer ence to the reported resignation oI Tom Maddock, state engineer. Mad deck is still on the job, and no inti nation has been given out from Of ficial sources that he will not con- tinue to act ill this capacity.
 It is now pretty well understood that Maddock has filed his resigna- ton with the governor, and that it was based on the latter's recommen- dation to the state legislature that a state highway commission be ere ated. This was regarded by some of Maddock's friends as reflection on his ability, though it may not have been intended as such.
 Word of the resignation leaked out last week, and though no off cial statements have been issued, it is regarded as significant that neither Maddock nor the governor have seen fit to deny the report.
 It was rather expected that there would be a conference between the chief executive and the engineer some time this week, but 1t would have been prevented by the fact that the governor has been busy the last two days attending a protracted ses- sion of the state land board
 In the meantime there appears to be no undue haste about presenting a measure calling for the establish ,ment of the state highway commis- sion. As a matter of fact such a plan is anything but popular, es- pecially as it would tend to increase the operating expenses of the state.
 May Cut Commissions
 Even county highway commissions may be abolished by the present leg islature, and it is understood that legislation to this end already has been framed. Experience has shown, in the opinion of many legislators, that there is too great a conflict of authority between the boards of su- pervisors and the county highway commissions. These bodies work along parallel lines, and some of the work at least is duplicated Too often, also petty jealousies are en- gendered between the county engi- neer appointed by the supervisors and the county highway engineer ap- pointed blythe highway commission.
 In nearly every county in the state it is stated there has been more of less friction between the supervisors and the road commissioners. Pinal and Yavapai counties are said to be- exceptions because the office of county engineer and county highway engineer have been combined.
 And so the county highway com mission has come to be looked upon by many as a useless fifth wheel, and one which could well be dis pcnsed with, and in view of this it is not surprising to find the state high way commission idea shadowcd by decided unpopularity.
 b Senator Schleimer, of Santa Cruz, thinks that the county highway com mission would be all right ii it was made up ill the right way. To rem edy the situation he has introduced a bill in the senate to have the com mission made up of members, one from each legislative district

partment will also be sought, as il is believed that the appointment of state police would be of great as sistance ill the enforcement of the game laws.
 It is believed, also that the force would be extremely valuable in the apprehension of auto thieves and other criminals making their escape from justice by automobile
 One of the reasons for aboliShing the state rangers was that there was a sharp conflict of authority between these officers and those or cities, towns and counties.

cally for December 31st, for the
 opening of such bids on the road
 bond sale, no bids were received.
 While the meeting was postponed, according to the minutes of the board of supervisors, yet had the
 board ordered an immediate notice published in the press to this effect,
 this phase of the question might have been overcome.
 Acting, however, in the best inter
 est of all concerned and as d matter of saving time, the board of super visors immediately issued an order
 for the republication of the notice for the sale of the bonds. This will require four weeks.
 Keen regret was expressed by
 Chairman Midglcy, speaking for the board of supervisors. that the board could not go ahead We realize
 the wonderful vote of confidence
 which was given us and the fact that a large majority of the taxpayers of
 Yavapai county wanted Us to go ahead with the road construction
 work. For the board of supervisors,
 1 desire to thank the members of the chamber of commerce and cit izcns generally who supported us in this work, even to the extent of guaranteeing US against personal lia- bility should any suit be brought by reason of the fact that the board deemed it wise to accept the sale of the bonds at this time. The only question uppermost in our minds is that which has been brought out clearly by County Attorney Sullivan and that Is the matter of the adver- Using of the bonds. We must nat urally be guided by the aGvice of our legal advisor, who has gone into this matter in d most careful manner, having consulted with attorneys in Prescott who arc posted with special information as to bonds"
 Attorney Sullivan expressed his re- gret that it was necessary to render this decision. q should like to have seen the road work started, but the law is absolutely clear on this ques- tion."
 It Is seldom that a county and | community will show such d splendid | spirit as that evidenced by the tax payers and citizens who attended | several meetings called for the con- sidcration of this important matter, in the chamber of commerce.
 From Jerome, Clarkdale, Mayer, Humboldt and elsewhere citizens went on record favoring the action | of the board of supervisors in selling the bonds at this particular time and getting the road work under way.
 With respect to the question brought out by the county attorney, the statute reads as follows: "Bc- lore the sale of any such bonds or other evidence of indebtedness, the board of supervisors, in behalf of Inc county of the board of school i trustees, or the city or town coun- ( Ill., or the governing body Of any ; other municipal corporation as the ,asc may be, shall at regular meet { ng, or at a special meeting called or that purpose, cause to be enter { d upon the record of said body an . order directing the sale of said bonds { 'r other evidences of indebtedness, | md the date and hour of said sale, a md shall cause copy of said order C O be published for at least four con ccutivc weeks before said sale in [ uch daily or weekly newspaper or newspapers as may be designated by a aid body. together with notice { hat sealed proposals will be received C y them for the purpose of said fl
