SPEED LAWS MAKE 4
 RACE DISTINCTION

ALBUQUERQUE, Dec. 21.-The sheriff of Bernanillo county is won dering whether he will have to make "a distinction in automobiles speeding cases between Spanish-speaking and English-speaking people. He has dis covered that in the 1921 session laws, as reprinted in English, that the speed limit for automobiles is Is miles an hour while in the Spanish version of the laws the limit is 20 miles an hour. He has addressed a letter to the secretary of state inquir- ing about the matter.
 The discovery arose following ar rests by motorcycle officers. Men taken before English-speaking jus tices of the peace found the speed limit was IS miles an hour, while the Spanish-speaking justices were giv- ing the offenders the advantage of the 20mile maximum.

ter further states that the Black Can yon road twill be an expensive proposition, but as it is now open, the part improved can be used until the entire road is put in good condi- tion. Assurance was given in MT. Maddock's letter that, unless other wise solicited by Yavapai county, it was the departments intention to se- cure what federal aid funds possible and match the Yavapai bond issue on the Black Canyon road, in addi- tion to doing everything possible to- ward building that portion of the road in Maricopa county.
 Other points Mir. Colvocoresses cites against the Yarnell route and in favor of the Black Canyon, may be briefly summarized as follows:
 l. The maximum elevation of the Black Canyon is nearly 300 feet less than the Yarnell. 2. Only one town Congress Junction., a few small farming settlements and deserted mining camps, with a population of less than 500, emitting inhabitants Of Hillside, Kirkland and Skull Valley, would be served by the Yarnell, while the Black Canyon would serve nine towns with an approximate az gregate population of 2,500, a dis trict with agricultural resources su- perior to that along the Yarnell and mineral resources second only to Je- rome's. }. The Yarnell route would increase the distance from Prescott to Phoenix 10 miles; from Jerome, 38 miles; from the Verde valley and points east, more; from Humboldt, 50 miles; from Mayer nearly 70. 4. Improvement of present connection between Congress Junction and Cali fornia line would involve improve ment of the present 115 mile con- nection, 30 miles of it in Yavapai to the Yuma line at an estimated cost of $500,000, and inducing of Yuma to construct from the Yuma-Y Yavapai line to Ehrenberg or Parker, 90 miles

CHALLENGES ESTIMATES OF COMMISSION

"To sum up," MT. Colvocoresses writes, q challenge the estimate of distance made by the highway commission on the Yarnell road. l ask them to submit definite and positive figures that this road will only be 106 miles from Prescott to Phoenix, as I maintain it will be at least 116 miles.
 q challenge the estimate of the cost of building this road from Prescott to the county line, and venture that it will cost nearer S9Oo,o00 than the S43O,OO0 estimated and I ask the highway commission to submit definite, detailed esti- mates before they endeavor to se- cure the support of the taxpayers to the construction of this road.
 ''I maintain that the Yarnell roaC is superfluous that it will be ot advantage to nobody except com paratively small population on ol near its route and certain people having special interests in seeing il built . That 1t will never be 'usec by more than half the county.
