WORK ON STREET
CAUSES CLOSING
FOR A FEW DAYS

People who daily drive cars from
Douglas across the border To Aqua
Prieta have been much put out the
past few days by the closing OF
Railroad avenue from Third street to
the customs house. The CITY street
department has been working all
winter on the heavily Travelled streets
in the southern section OF the city
and various ones have been closed
at various times.
The closing OF this section has
worked the most inconvenience, how
ever, as almost all traffic going tc
Aqua Prieta ordinarily passes this
way The repairing OF the section.
however, will be a greater benefit to
the public than the repairing Of
almost any other section in the city
SO 11at no complaint has been heard
from the many who have turned their
cars aside and made a run around
the block TO come in to the customs
house from the Third street approach.

GIVES
POLICE A CHECK
In GRATITUDE

+. o. Mackay, owner OF the Gadsden
hotel which was destroyed by fire on
Feb 7, has presented the Douglas po-
lice department with a check for $50.
The check was presented as a mark OF
appreciation for the tireless and effic-
lent work of the entire force in pa
trolling the fire zone and protecting
the public from the hazards Of falling
walls and flying sparks
Chief Of Police Percy Bowden con-
ferred with the force yesterday and
while no. decision was arrived at as to
the disposition to be made of the
money it is expected that it will be
placed in the emergency fund from
which relief is given to many deserv-
ing persons. In ordirl ry times this
relief fund is SO depleted that when
some case comes TO the notice of the
department where funds are needed to
aid some needy person subscription
is taken up from among the men.
Chief Bowden said yesterday, 1--WE
appreciate this gift from Mr.. Mackay.
1t not only impresses us with the idea
that owner of the hotel likes the way
we worked 2bout the fire but it is one
more proof to us that Mr.. Mackay is
appreciative and wishes to show his
appreciation. We can find plenty of
good uses for the money and whatever
we do with it is will be spent, as every
penny we get hold of is spent, for the
relief of someone in distress"

ACTUAL WORK
IS BEING DONE
ON HIGHWAY 80

Work on the resurfacing of high
way so east OF Douglas is progressing
rapidly. The highway from A avenue
in Douglas for some distance out OF
the city has been graded up until
a foot of new surfacing material is
on the top OF the .ruts and ridges
which were called a highway before
the repair work wass tarted.
While there is no way OF knowing
just how much repairing will be done,
the state highway engineers VINO are
watching the work have announced
that the road will be PVT INTO good
condition but indicate i1at in their
opinion the. toughest places are be-
tween Douglas and a point some
eight or ten miles cut which is an
indication that work on the re-
mainder of the highway to the New
Mexico state line may not be done
at this time.
The engineers have said that
new equipment OF equipment different
from that which has been on the
road all the time but nC3 IN use,
was needed to carry on the work
and the activity on the stretch i'm
mediately north of the city indicates
that they have either secured other
equipment or have finally decided to
make use of that which has been
on the highway all the time, together
with a force OF men kept there to
maintain the highway.
