COUNCIL MAY OPEN CITY
SPRINGS ROAD TO PUBLIC


City council at a recent meeting
again discussed the feasibility If
making the city water system flow
line road from the reservoir to the
city springs a toll road.
City Attorney Fred. w. Perkins
was instructed to look up the matter,
to determine the length Of time to
establish legal status, and 50 on.
If council should decide to convert
this road into a scenic drive, Flag
staff would have an unrivalled noun
tain highway loop, going up on the
new flow-line road and returning by
way Of the old road through Dead
mans flat.
The matter has been under consid-
Grafton BY council for some time, it
being felt that as long as the city
must maintain the flow-line road for
it own purposes, making it a toll road
will defray much, perhaps all Of the
expense, besides affording our peo-
pie and tourists the use of d noun
tain scenic highway that is very good
TO the springs, while the few bad
miles in the balance of the loop could
be put in good shape at comparative
ly small cost.

N. A. CHAMBER COMNIE.EG( e
FORMED HERE SATURDAY

a centralized agency matters pertain
ing to publicity for this section might
be discussed, all Chambers profiting
by the experience of others. Also,
that a general program Of activities
might be adopted Tor the northern
section whereby there would be less
chance of conflicting programs, all
Chambers pushing the others pro-
grams instead of each pulling for its
own particular stunt. This idea seem
ed to meet with favor from all.
Gilbert Loveland Of the Holbrook
Chamber brought out the point that
the many and varied routes to the
snake dance and that all cities af-
fected by these routes discredit the
Others. He said all routes should be
outlined, no one having the prefer
ence. Many other matters OF similar
interest were discussed where the
spirit of cooperation might relieve
and all communities profit.
The following communities were
represented: Holbrook, Williams,
Grand Canvon, ST, Johns, Concho,
Springerville, Winslow, Clifton,
Flagstaff and Kingman.
