 Resolution
 At a meeting of the representatives i of the chambers of commerce of Tue son, Ajo, Gila Bend, Casa Graude. Yuma, Bisbee, Douglas, Tombstone and Nogales held in the City of Tue son on the 18th day of October, 1922, ! the following resolutions were adopt ! ed in opposition to the proposed bond { issue of $2,500,000 for the purpose ot [ constructing a paved state highway i from Hassayampa to Ehrenberg on the ! Colorado River.
 RESOLVED That whereas, two fed eral aid highway systems are now un- der construction across the State of ! Arizona from East to West, known as the Bankhead or Aid Spanish Trails ; Highway in the south and the Nation al Old Trails Highway in the north and that one or the other of these ! highways serve every county in the ' state, no additional cross state high { ways from East to West should be undertaken until such time as these two roads have been completed and paved their entire length.
 RESOLVED That this proposed road being state highway it ought not to be constructed with state mon ey alone as proposed, but with state and federal money. That no federal aid money will be available for the construction of this road for many years, therefore, we are opposed to voting bonds for it's construction al this time and are against the proposed bond issue.
 , RESOLVED That whereas, the Bankhead Highway passes through all of the great irrigation projects of the state and a country along the Gila : river for two hundred miles which } is being rapidly developed along agri . cultural lines, good Judgment and the : federal government demand that thi:
 primary federal aid project be com pleted and paved before any plans arc made for building other roads. Ant . that the National Old Trails Highway in the north passing through one O.
 the most scenic parts of the state. al 5 ready developed as a great mining . section, and with great agriculture
 possibilities, should be immediatel! completed and paved before any othei road is planned across the state
 RESOLVED That this is an inop
 perfume time to vote additional bono issues which will put another burdel upon the taxpayers of the state ant for this reason we are also opposed
 to the bond issue to build the roat
 from Hassayampa to Ehrenberg.
 RESOLVED That as this proposet road would only serve a small portion
 of the people of the state, that it run
 through a barren desert which is no
 susceptible of development for agri
 cultural purposes, that no bridges t
 cross the Colorado River is provided
 and no California connection, that i . would give the traveller the worst pos sible view of the great state of Ari - zona and would pass him through tn state without chance to see our wor - derful possibilities, that we are una
 terably opposed to the construction O t this road at this time and appeal t all fair minded citizens to in ever. l. possible way aid us in defeating thi r iniquitous proposition at the Noven l Der election.
 RESOLVED That We ask civic an
 commercial organizations to join wit r us in our opposition to this bond issu I That good faith on the part of Mar f copa county should impel her to joi
 hands with the other counties of tn , state in defeating this measure Q RESOLVED That a copy of thes resolutions be mailed to every new n paper of the state and to every Chan 2 Der of Commerce and civic organiz tion and that all of the newspaper an n organizations he asked to help us q defeat the bond issue to provide fund
 for the construction of the Week En . Trail"
