J. A. FREEMAN OF
SNOWFLAKE, GOOD
ROADS ADVOCATE

! One of the Old-timers in this county
who has been largely instrumental in
the building up of the system of good
roads which Navajo county can proud
ly boast, is John A. Freeman, demo-
cratic candidate for representative.
/ Mr.. Freeman was a member of the
highway commission that expended
$150,000 bond issue, and which result
ed in the great mileage OF good roads
in this county.
Mr.. Freeman has lived in this coun-
ty many years, and is well-knOwn to
most everyone. He was born April
%, 1860, at Washington, Utah, and was
married October 9, 1879. He came to
Arizona in the winter of 1880, and
settled at Snowflake, where he has re-
sided ever since For a time he fol-
lowed stock raising and farming. In
1897 he became connected with the
Arizona Cooperative Mercantile COM
pany at Holbrook, with a branch store
at Snowflake, and afterwards with
branch stores at Springerville, St.
Johns and Eager. He has been a di-
rector and is now vice-president of
that institution.
At the election in 1916 he was elect
ed county supervisor and held that
office for four years. He was then
appointed a member of the highway
commission and has held that office
for three and half years.
Mr. Freeman helped to expend the
last road bond issue of $150,000 with
state and federal aid, in the building
of the state highway from the Coco
nino county line to the Apache county
line, and in building county roads
from Winslow out on the Keams Can
yon road, Holbrook-Keams Canyon
road, and HolbrookSnowflake road,
together with smaller road projects
He was a member of the board of
supervisors when the contract and
agreement was made and signed with
the department of agriculture for
building of the Snowfiake-Pinetop
road, and has always been an advo-
cate of good roads, and if elected to
the state legislature will continue to
work for the interests of Navajo
county and the state.
