George Hammond of the Automo-

impressed with the convention of the
Arizona Good Roads association held
at Yuma, Monday and Tuesday, he
writes to the Dispatch.
He states that the convention
brought out representative men
from all sections of the state to see
that the money invested in the

ways and scenery of Arizona are
it's grea test assets, was confirmed
by every speaker at the gathering,
Hammond writes. Governor George

Hon, Dave Adams, chairman of the
Cochise County Board of Supervisors,
stated "Wednesday while visiting in
this city.
Although the preliminary work has
been postponed at various times due
to minor delays, Adams declared
Wednesday that the men in charge
of the improvements assured him a
few days ago that the crew would
begin to perform the preparatory
tasks this week The county super
visor believes that the work at the
northern end can be completed within
two months and then it is the inten-
tion of the crews to. start things go
ing on this end of the highway.
Due to various duties which would
prevent the board of supervisors from
proceeding on the motorcade to the
Pinery Canyon road at present, it has
been decided to permit the board to
set date at it's next meeting for
that trip. 1t is likely, Adams stated
that the tour will be made about the
middle of February and he is hoping
that big delegation will join from
this city and from Bisbee to show
the peoples appreciation for under
taking of that long-sought project.
Adams and Smyth have just re-
turned from a thorough inspection of
the highways in this section of the
southwest and declared yesterday
that they are all in fine condition,
especially those in this county.
