MANAGER OE PAVING COMPANY EXPLAINS
 PRICE COMPARISON

In the story of the award of the contract for tAe Phoenix Glendale road and in a description of the bids 1 comparison was made of the bid of Warren Bros, s2.45 square yard for six-inch road with the prices the same company receives for paving in 1.-the city of Phoenix-S2.3 for a four
 inch road and s2.55 for a five-inch ! road, with an additional cost of 40 cents a square yard for grading.
 General Manager F.. P. Conway, i speaking yesterday of this compari- 1 son. said that the figures used were correct, but the different circum- stances attending road construction in the city and in the county were not taken into account. The latter is cash proposition On a county contract the contractor is allowed to draw his money from time to time on estimates, as he progresses.
 It is quite different on city con- ! tract. There the contractor knows l that he must wait an indefinite time after he has completed his work. He
 must have money before beginning
 He makes arrangement for the mon i ey he needs al least 30 days in antici- patton of the award of the contract l to be sure that he will have it. An | other 30 days Is consumed in getting | ready to begin the work. And after l it has been completed, another 30 l days must elapse to allow the abut-
 ting property owners to pay their as- l sessments, something they do not do. Then ensues another indefinite period, hardly less than 30 days, be- l fore the city issues the paving bonds | which become a lien upon the abut- | ting property. Then they are turned | over to the contractor, who disposes | of them at discount of 10 per cent l The contractor has not only lost this 1 10 per cent, but he has paid interest | for several months on the money he i had procured for the carrying out of ! the contract. Thus on a contract for 1 laying pavement al $2-55 a square yard, the discount cuts his pay down
 to $2l30. The interest does the rest,
 so that his pay in the end is a narrow
 margin above the cost Of construction. Concerning the statement that one
 of the asphalt bids for the Phoenix 1 Glendale road contract was made
 under guaranty of the state to protect 1 the bidder against a suit for infringe
 ment. MT. Conway said that the sup | posed guaranty was not really a guaranty, though it looked like one it looked so much like it, in fact, that Warren Bros. took it up with one of
 the attorneys for the company and
 notice was served on the state engin-
 eer's department that a suit for in-
 fringement would be brought if an
 effort was made to evade the royalty
 claimed by Warren Bros. Mir. Con-
 Ny said he was informed by ASsis .
 tant State Engineer Holmquist that
 the supposed guaranty was not 8
 guaranty, but only a new speciafica-
 tion, and that the state did not intend
 to stand behind the bidder.

"COERC|ON" ]" STORY
 |SPURE FICTION

By misunderst anding some of the residents along a section of East Polk street are threatening a revolt against all of the bond propositions. It is not
 because they are opposed to the bonds. but they resent what has been reported to them to be an attempt at coercion on the part of the city to force them to vote for the bonds.
 For some reason or another they have been deprived of irrisatins' Wa
 ter over periods within which they
 have usually received it and they
 have been told that the deprivation has been ordered by the city to inn
 press upon them the necessity of vot- ing for the Verde water bonds.
 There is, of course, no foundation for such a supposition. Whatever might happen to the other bond is 1 sues, it is not contemplated that the ] Verde water bonds will fail Beside i there is perhaps no city government 1 in the United States so insane as to adopt such a program against the i people who constitute the govern ment. That kind of a municipal gov ernment would last only through one
 term. Such course could have only
 a result. the opposite of that intended.

ID ASK GOVERNMENT
 FUR SITE FUR CAMP

That the war department wiQ be asked to set aside two sections of land in the northern part of the state for site for the annual en- campment of the Arizona National Guard was the word brought back from Flagstaff yesterday by Adju- tant General Walter $. Ingalls,. Colonel Ingalls, declared that every one in the north was enthusiastic over the plan by which the govern ment will be asked to set aside land for the use of the state. The people have demonstrated their interest by agreeing to pipe and furnish the water to the site selected. which will probab bly be in the vicinity of Flag staff or Williams. The matter will be put up to the war department by the adjutant generals office.
 It is believed that the government will act favorably in view of the fact that it advocates the state own ing fts camp grounds. The encamp- ment brings into the district in which it is located. between S50.0o0 and s100. DOC year, according to Colonel Ingalls,.
 This years encampment will be held at Camp Harry J. Jones in Douglas. the camp being military reservation.
 While in the north Colonel Ingalls made an inspection of the artillery stables which are being built at Flag staff in connection with the armory

armory; the fourth is for S60,000 for paving in front of property owned by the. city; the fifth is for S20.000 for installation of a police automatic signal and alarm system, and the sixth is for $40,000 for the purchase of a part of University tract, to be used as a city park.
 It will be possible for the voters to approve any or all of the issues. Re- jection of one issue does not mean rejection of all and vice versa.
 Members of the commission already have placed their official sanction on the six issues, so the taxpayers have the final word.
 An unusually heavy vote is ex- pected tomorrow-that is, a heavy vote for a bond election. Ordinarily, less than 25 per cent of the registered voters turn out for an election of this nature, but because of the importance of the issues on the ballots, city of ficials believe that a big vote will be cast
 Twelve polling places will be open for the convenience of the voters, one in each of the 12 city precincts. Full election boards have been appointed to serve during the day.
 Polling places will be open at the usual hour, 6 o'clock in the morning. and will remain open until 0 clock at night Because of the short bal lot. il is believed that results will be known before midnight Election boards will begin the count of bal lots as soon as the voting booths are closed, it was explained.
