JUNE ESTABLISHES
HIGHEST BUILDING
RECORD In YEARS

Building permits issued during
June and thus far in July total
$23,675, as against S47O for the
same period last year, according to
the records of H. r. Lendecke. city
engineer.
This is the largest two-month
tOal for several years. The five
months to May 1 this year showed
an increase over the same five
months of the year before with a
total of $22,6S5, and showed the
greatest figure for any five-month
period in several years, yet this
figure is almost $1,000 under the
total for June and half of July.
Permits issued during June and
July include several remodeling
jobs, the La Prade garage, shop of
Mitchell Bros, and the residences
of Dave Parker, j. S. Baker, n. f.
Perdue and the three houses under
construction in the Sweeney
Heights addition.
Building will continue to be
active until late in the fall, accord
ing to present indications, Mr.. Len
decke says, as many people are
planning new residences and addi-
tionS to their homes. a

TRAINMEN WANT
WAGE INCREASE

Chairmen's associations of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen
and the Order OF Railroad Conduc-
tors will hold joint divisional meet
ings in November to consider the
proposition of seeking a wage in
crease from approximately 200
railroads, w. G. Lee, president of
the trainmen, announced.
The amount of the increase to be
asked was not announced, but Mr..
Lee said the wage reduction to
railroad men in 1921 amounted to
about II per cent, approximately
64c a day, that an increase last
year amounted to approximately 5
per cent and that the request for
an increase probably would at least
be enough to make UP the 1921 re-
duction.
At the same time Mr.. Lee an
nounced that the proposed confer
ence of railroad labor leaders and
railroad managers to discuss the
railroad labor situation, scheduled
to be held in Cleveland June 30,
had been postponed until October
or November.

BOND ISSUE
QUESTION IS
POS OSTPONED
TO AUGUST 10

Voting on the proposed bond is
sue by the board of supervisors to
clear up outstanding warrants of
the county to the amount of ap-
proXimately 100000 was post
poned at meeting of the suuer-
Vlsors held at Holbrook Wednes-
day. The new date set for consid-
GRAFTON of the bonds is Aug. 10, at
which time all remaining petitions
Will be heard before the vote is
taken.
1T was pointed out at the meet
ing Wednesday by Mr.. Ryan, at
torney for the State Tax associa-
tion, and Mr.. Thompson, tax agent
for the Santa Fe, that the county
could not be bonded for more than
per cent of its total valuation
without putting the issue to a vote
OF the people. They showed fur
| ther that the total valuation of the.
county was not in excess of S11,-
100000, and that 4 per cent of this
amount was approximately S464,-
600.
According to the records of the
county, bonds amounting to SAIL
600 already have been issued,
which would make it impossible
to pass the issue as first intended
by the board of supervisors.
CT
been accumulated by the county,
the county treasurer showed, of
$4,000 which could be used to re-
tire that amount of bonds, leaving
about $376,000 outstanding. With
this amount of bonded indebted
ness, the county board of super
Visors could go as far as to issue
between $85.000 and $SS,0O0 more.
in bonds without putting the issue
to vote of the people.
Final action was postponed until
Aug. 10 after entreaties had been
presented by Mr.. Ryan and Mr..
Thompson and after a petition was
filed with the board by James
Flake, of Snowflake.
III lhC hlSdACiAitS, CO1lplGte ES-
ports and figures will be compiled
of the actual items to be paid by
the proposed issue and these items
will be made part of the resolu-
ton, should the bond issue be
passed 1t is thought that by rails
ing a sum of $4,000 by special
taxation, the remainder of the out
standing warrants may be handled
by the limit of the bonds that are
yet allowed the county.
That the issue should be passed
was the general feeling at the
meeting, and from a partial survey
of the largest taxpayers in the
town of WinSlow, those interviewed
expressed themselves unanimously
in favor of the move contemplated
by the supervisors.
AS has been stated before, there
are but two courses open to the
upervisors-that is, to vote a spe-
cial levy to take care of the out
standing warrants at once, or to
vote the bonds. A special levy
would bring very great burden
upon the people for the coming
year while the bonds would be re-
tired over a period Of twenty years.

Small Boy Comes Near
Drowning During Race

While all eyes were watching
the swimming contest at Clear
creek Sunday a small boy wan-
dered away from the crowd and
went out into deeper water than
his height, and had it not been for
Mr.. and Mrs. H. F. Tanner, would
probably have been drowned.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tanner were at the
edge of the group which was
watching the race when Mrs. Tan
ner noticed the little fellow go
down. Mr.. Tanner jumped into the
water with his clothes on and
brought the child to shore.
The youngster was nearly ex-
hausted and probably had been
struggling in the water several
minutes before Mrs. Tanner dis
covered him. 1t was necessary to
roll him and administer first aid
treatment to get the water out of
his lungs.
1t is thought that the child be-
longed to tourists, as those who
witnessed the accident did not
know the parents who came to
claim the child.

No. Z Kills One, Injuries
One; S. F: ExOnerated

John Castagno was instantly
killed and John Columbo perhaps
fatally injured Tuesday evening
when the Ford truck in which they
were riding was struck by No. Z
at a crossing near Defiance. The
two were Italian coal miners who
were looking for work.
At a. coroner's inquest held over
the body of the man who was killed
Engineer Charles McCauley, who
was plotting the train, and the
Santa F'e were eXonerated in every
detail, as the track was visible in
both directions for two miles. it is
said. Although the injured man
had not regained consciousness
when the inquest was held, it was
a plain case, the jury believed, OF
the men trying to race with the
train and beat it to the crossing.

Five Santa Fe Bridges
Wash Out in New Mexico

Five bridges and about mile of
track on the Waldo-Madrid branch
of the Santa Fe railroad were
washed out by cloudburst Monday
afternoon. Several unoccupied
shacks in Madrid were overturned
by the water and one bunkhouse
in which a number of men were
living was moved, but there were
no casualties.
The power lines and light lines
at Madrid were put out of commits
sion.
Madrid is a coal mining camp
near Albuquerque. All mine en-
frances are elevated, so no water
entered the mine shafts.
The bridges washed out, all of
them wooden, averaged about fifty
feet in length and fifteen feet in
height.

SHOP WORK TO
GO ON NEW TIME
BASIS MONDAY

Beginning next Monday, workers
at the Santa Fe shops and round
house here will be divided into
three shifts, each to work eight
hours. The first shift will work
from 7 to o'clock, the second
from to II, and the third from
II p. m. to Z a. m
In the past but two shifts were
worked, the day shift working nine
hours, from to 5 or from s to g.
The night shift worked from 7 to s
or from s to Z. The day workers
were paid for nine and a half
hours, althouhg working but nine,
and the night crew, while working
ten hours, was paid for eleven.
About 250 men are now employed
at the shops, and it is thought that
the change in shifts will not neces-
state the employment of many, if
any additional men.

Anderson Pass Road
Will Be Signed for
Travellers by Sunday

Following the suggestion print
ed in last Fridays edition of The
Winslow Mail, Wallace Merrick
and "Pinky" Christensen have an
nounced that the road to Mormon
Lake by way of Anderson pass will
be signed for the information Of
tourists who wish to travel the
road Sunday. Merrick painted the
signs and Christensen will put
them up today or tomorrow, ac-
cording to present plans. & sign
will be placed at every fork in the
road where there is more than one
course that can be followed.
The distance to the lake by this
road has been measured by several
motorists to be fifty-one miles. The
road first strikes the lake two
miles from the camp and resort, so
that fifty-three miles includes the
distance to the resort from Wins
low.
The boys who are preparing the
signs expressed themselves as be-
ing in favor of Mr.. Benefits sug
gestion of everyone throwing out
ten boulders every time they travel
the road, only it was their idea that
it would be a good plan for every
one to throw out ten bOulders for
every sign on the road. There
will be five or six of them.
Those who do their bit in this
respect Sunday should notify The
Mail, so that their names may be
placed on the Anderson Pass roll
of honor.
