ARIZONA'S FAILURE TO
MATCH APPROPRIATIONS
MAY PREVENT FINISHING
SEVERAL PROJECTS, FEAR

The triumvirate of major problems
facing the eighth state legislature
government finances, the condition of
the highway department and Colorado
river legislation-was added to Mon
day in d communication from w. C.
Lefebvre, state engineer. Or rather
the communication was reminder of
an addition made some time ago.
The state is in danger of losing
federal aid for which it contracted
with the stipulation that at least SO
per cent of the federal apportionment
be expended on the primary road sys-
tenn, Governor Hunt informed the
legislature In his message he trans
mitted letter from the state engi-
neer which in turn contained two let
ters from federal officials.
C. H. Sweetser, district engineer OF
the bureau of public roads with head
quarters at San Francisco, had in
formed Lefebvre the state engineers
letter to the governor stated, that
Arizona had failed to match federal
appropriations. Another letter from
Thomas H. Macdonald, chief of the
bureau of public roads pointed out
that Utah and Nevada wanted GER
tain road work done in Arizona to
form connecting link in the chain Of
federal aid state roads.
Sweetser's letter said his office de-
sired development work on, among
others, the route cutting the north
west corner of Mohave county, that
between Holbrook and Lupton, that
between Winslow and Angel, fourth
between Springerville and the New
Mexico line and fifth through the
San Carlos Indian reservation.
The start OF the second half of the
legislative session found all major
problems yet to be disposed of. The
state pocketbook as flat as brides
biscuits gave promise of assuming a
respectable bulge temporarily when
Governor Hunt signed the regular tax
anticipation bond bill empowering the
treasury department to proceed with
the launching of bond issue.
A show down on Colorado river
legislation between the legislature
and the governor was anticipated
when the Jones bill providing for the
appointment of permanent Colorado
river commission and three other riv-
er bills come up for consideration as
a special order of business in the
house. Governor Hunt has said that
he will veto the bill if passed by the
legislature.
The Jones measure has the sigma
ture of President Winsor of the sem
ate.
The senate in committee of the
whole placed its stamp of approval
on six measures only one of which
aroused criticism on the floor. A bill
by Nelson of Navajo proposing to
exempt from taxation former soldiers,
sailors and marines and army nurses
whose taxable property does not ex-
ceed $4,000 in value, moved Favour
of Yavapai to say he did not think the
ex-service men themselves would
want the bill converted into law.

THREE BUILDINGS
IN MAYER BURN

Three buildings in Mayer, including
the concrete one housing the Highway
garage, the Sam Holmes residence
and the home of Judge Martin Knapp,
all on the highway, were destroyed by
a fire of mysterious origin which oc-
Cured about 1870 o'clock Thursday
morning. The fire was not discovered
until it had been burning for some
time and efforts to save the three
buildings were fruitless. Working
with heart-breaking energy, the resi-
dents of the little community were
able to save the other buildings in the
block. Their efforts were hampered
by lack of sufficient water.

MEXICAN AT DRAKE
BURNS TO DEATH IN BARN

Tumatio Tula, Is years of age was
burned to death. at an early hour
Tuesday morning in, mystery blaze
which destroyed the frame building
in which he was living at Drake and
which is the object of an investiga-
tion already launched by the local
authorities. While nothing of de-
finite nature has been discovered, it
was learned from Drake, foul play is
suspected and there is possibility
that the mans death may have oc-
Cured before the fire and his body
burned in the house to hide the crime.
He formerly was an employe of
the Puntenney Lime company and
was unmarried, but had lived at or
near Drake for some time.
