WILL COMPLETE ROAD 70
BRIDGE AUGUST 18TH.

Project Engineer Al Jenkins. at
his headquarters at the road camp
near Fairbank. yesterday stated that
il would be about August 18th before
he would com plete the road to the
bridge at Fairbank because o. the
fact that he was cutting his force by
removing part OF it 20 Pima county
for work toward Florence. He stated
that the road 10 not open for travel
now. but hoped 10 have it open in
about two weeks. espec tally Il he
got any rain on the Fairbank end, so
that he could set up the surface work.
The grading is practically done to the
camp and the srrfacing is coming
right along He further stated that
a relocation cutting out sixteen hun
dred feet had delayed the work some
and also the discovery OF some hard
pan that was not easily handed
where they had expected easy work
ing dirt. One OF the striking features
OF this new road is the long distances
OF straight-away and thereby the few
curves. The changes in location will
make the distance from the Fairbank
bridge to the Cochise Santa Cruz line
just 1891 miles. and as now built the
mileage to NogaIes will be exactly
1897. and If Santa Cruz county ever
digs up the money to rebuild and re-
locate the highway from Patagonia to
Nogales. the mileage will be about &c
fat between Nogales and Tombstone

TO be mad. City Haelth Officer DR.. T.
Causey last night appealed to the
city council for more authority to
the city counciicope with rabies cpl
demic that has arisen in the city and
gradually growing worse despite the
passage ofl muzzling ordinance about
a month ago. on authority OF City
Attorney Boyle, the council informed
Or. Causey who was present al the
meeting. that the regulation promul-
gated by the health department last
month gave him sufficient authority
to order the police to en;orc. the
muzzling ordinance
DR. Causey's appeal to the council
was taken after some one dug up an
old city ordinance which compelled
the police to hold dog picked up on
the streets without license for
three days before it could be shot
Believing that the health department
regulation would not supercede the
ordinance. police officers and Dr.
Causey have been aolding the sus-
pected dogs for three days before kill

Chief Bowden said last night that so
far as the city is concerned the rab-
les epidemic would soon be eliminat-
ed because with a few days every
dog in town would either be safely
confined in is owners back yard or

has been adopted by the state tax
commission relative to the fixing OF
mine valuations. it was announced to-

Heretofore it has been customary TO

over longer period of time. up 10
ten years
Had the five year rule been ap-
piled in computing the valuations of
mines recently announced they would
have been somewhat smaller. In
stead that portion OF the year in
which the mines operated was added
TO the period averaged In the case
OF the Miami Copper company. which
operated throughout the year. full
six year period was used as a basis
in the case of the New Cornelia Cop
per company. which was in actual op-
Grafton little over six months. 554
years production was averaged and
in other cases the figaro used was

Howe claims that under the ten
year average the fluctuations will be
less than under the five years aver
age. and that this will be OF adyan-
tage TO both the state and the mining
properties
