FOR SECOND STORY OF
new GARAGE BUILDING

Four modern furnished apartments
will be added by the Wilson-C Coffin
company as front upper story to the
big garage and plumbing building
they are now erecting at Aspen ave-
nue. and Agassiz street.

some time after contract for the
plumbing garage building had been
let to Pete Solberg. The lack of
housing facilities here and the central
location. convinced the members of the
company-Paul Coffin, Jack Wilson
and Charlie Lehr-that the apart
ments would be good investment and
the plans were enlarged accordingly
The apartments will form 50x75
foot second story of the building
Each apartment will contain 12x15
living room, dining room, pantry and
bathroom and will be completely fur
nished, the beds being Of the folding

Highway Law
Still In Doubt

Aside from passing of an appro-
priation bill to cover the expenses Of
the third special session of the eighth
legislature, the time since being called
by the governor has been spent in
.caucuses between Governor Hunt and
minority administration members and
the majority members in attempting to
arrive at compromise highway bill.
The reported agreement reached is
said to provide for the payment of the
highway creditors as named by the
governor When this is done, and not
until then, the governor will call a
fourth extra session limited to the
passage Of a highway bill providing
for the Appointment Of a state highway
commission by the governor. Recess
appointments to be permitted with
confirmation by the senate at the next
regular session; said commissioners
not to be removed except for cause; a
section raising the limit of the force
account from $4,000 to $4,000, which
account permits purchases or contracts
up to the limit without advertising
for bids.
The call for the special session
which was expected Wednesday was
held up when the two houses of the
legislature recessed until yesterday
morning without acting upon the high
way creditors bill which the governor
has insisted must be passed before he
will issue a call for a new session.
According to reports, the highway
legislation IS placed by Governor Hunt
as the first of the subjects to be taken
up at the fourth special session. Steps

Many Noted Scientists at Meeting
Monday Night Urge Museum Here
Perhaps as Department Of College

Flagstaff will have museum.
That was unmistakably indicated in
the interest that led two score people
to meet at Flagstaff Teachers college
Monday night to discuss the matter
and in the tenor of the several enthus-
iastic talks.
There was shown firm resolve to
gather from the vast store of arche-
illogical and other rare and curious
things in this section and keep them
here where they may be helpful in
local educational work and attractive
to visitors.
Flagstaff's ability to intelligently
assemble and classify museum stores
was evident in the personnel of the
gathering Monday night, among whom
were several noted scientists
DR.. H. N. Russell of Princeton uni
versity and one of the leading astron-
omers of the world was called upon by
DR.. Grady Gammage, chairman of the
Chamber of Commerce museum COM
naittee, for the first talk. He stressed
the need from an educational stand
point of museums, not only state mu-
Seums, but as many local museums as
possible, to make the collections more
easily accessible to all. 1t is especially
desirable, he said, that museum be
connected with the local college be-
cause of its great value in educational
work
DIR. Russell said in Greece and Italy
and many other countries this idea of
several museums is carried out in
preference to having only one central
museum. "a museum here" he said,
'would be of service to the whole
United States, to travellers passing
through, and of decided service, both
educational and commercial, to the
people here"
DR.. v. NJ. Slipher, chief of Lowell
observatory, Flagstaff, emphasized
the need of a museum here before the
archaeological specimens of which this
section has so many are scattered to
the four winds. There is plenty of
material for a good museum here, he
said, and for others also in Phoenix
and Tucson.
DR.. Byron f. Cummings, acting
president of Arizona university and
one of the leading archeologists of the
United States, said the State museum
at Tucson was established under the
same law and at the same time as the
State university. "We are in the heart
of the prehistoric culture of the south
west" he said, "and therefore are
especially well situated geographically
for museums"
Museums-of which there should be
several in the state, he declared
have a definite educational value to
any institution with which they are

PiLkingtOn Motor Co.
TO In0ugLtrdte Hertz
"DriUltrseLf" System

The Pilkington Motor company this
week is announcing the securing of a
franchise for the Hertz 'Drivurself
system" whereby anyone can secure
an automobile for a nominal mileage
rental and drive it himself.
The Hertz system has become fa-
nous throughout the country and has
proven popular with those who could
not afford to own car. It is the plan
of the local motor company to rent
only Bucks and Chevrolets, using ma
chimes in first class condition.
The system will prove extremely
popular in Flagstaff as many tourists
arrive here with no means of trans
portation to the various points of in
terest and the trent car-drive it
yourself system will solve this prob
lem, allowing large parties to make
trips economically.
