Arizona republican., 1922-03-07

house on third reading. The first was
for the diversion of $4,000 for the
building Of a bridge across the Col
orado in Mohave county TO the build
ing OF a road from Chloride to the
site OF the Boulder Canyon dam, a
distance Of forty-five miles. II is
understood that this BILL which has
been pending in both houses has
been an obstruction to other legis-
iation. The bill permitting the board
Of supervisors OF Maricopa county to
transfer temporarily $125.00o of the
county highway fund TO the Cave
Greek control fund was passed. The
bin abolishing the Arizona Resources
board was passed by a vote Of "a to 1.
Among the subjects considered in
the committee OF the whole Of the
house was House Bill 3S amend%g
the law relating to vocational trail-
ing and providing for the return to
schools of not more than half the
money expended by them for such
training. An explanation Of the
purpose OF the bill by Miss Boehr-
niger started q debate in which II
was charged that the bill contem-
plated no saving but shifting of
the burden from the state to the
counties. Miss Boehringer had staJd
that the saving would be about
$4,000. The committee favorably
recommended the bill.
House bill 25 was also recommended
for passage There was some mis-
understanding regarding the purpose
of the bill which was really to cut
out the continuing appropriations for
the attorney generals office in pur-
suance Of policy which has been
followed, that provision might be
made for the offices and institutions
affected in the general appropriation
bill. 1t was also pointed out that
for years no attention had been paid
70 these appropriations for every
year much more money had been
appropriated for this office In the
general supply bill.
After Mr.. Jones had made state
ment that the office Of the water
commissioner had offered no objection
to bill repeating the act making
appropriation for that department the
bin was reported favorably.

posed OF at o'clock in the afternoon
