wood home on Sonoita street.

entered his foot, while third en-
tered his leg twice. This bullet caus-
ed many to believe that BricEwood

AT LONG RANGE
BY J. b. BRISTOL

There is common disposition to
measure the work of a Chamber of
Commerce in terms of what it
might accomplish in any one year.
Officers and directors come and go
but the Chamber continues to de-
vote it's efforts to projects which Of
ten take years to bring to sue
cessfu1 conclusion. A timely illustra-
ton emphasizes this fact.
Two weeks ago, Senator Carl Hay
den tackled onto the controversial
flood control bill in the senate two
projects. This bill will be taken up
in the January session of Congress
and may bring about the passage of
an appropriation of $692, 100 for the
construction of dams on the anita
Cruz and Sonoita rivers. Should this
appropriation be obtained, which
seems likely, it will be the culmina-
ton Of work by the Board of Trade
and the Chamber of Commerce
which was originated twenty nine
years ago.
Even further back than that the
government was interested to the
extent of making preliminary sur
vey but it was on Sept. 24th, 1906,
fourteen days after it's organization,
that the Nogales and Santa Cruz
County Board of Trade instituted
the movement for the erection of
the Santa Cruz River Dam.
On January End, 1907, the Board
made an appropriation of $500 to
gauging stations on the
river, it having been informed that
a ten year record of the rivers flow
was necessary before the Reclama-

Construction at an early date of
a dam on the Santa Cruz river a
few miles north of Nogales looms
pretty much as a certainty, accord
ing to RI. P. Watkins secretary of
the Chamber of Commerce.
At the request of United States
Senator Carl Hayden the Board Of
Supervisors yesterday morning sent
via airmail to Mr. Hayden in Wash
ington a resolution, passed by the
board Thursday, in which they agree
to do all that is necessary to Sc
cure title to the land that will be
inundated.
The resolution asks that army en-
gfneers be sent here to make a sur

structures will be placed on the
Santa Cruz river and Sonoita creek.
Senator Hayden advised the

week that he will remain in Wash

Action on refunding of Santa
Cruz county bonds appeared certain
after Joseph E. Refsnes of Refsness.
Ely, and Beck, bonding company
of Phoenix, conferred Tuesday with
the county board of supervisors on
definite proposition.
Refsnes left Nogales Tuesday for
Los Angeles where he will discuss
the situation Of the county bonds
with a representative of the Wood
men Of the World, holders of big
bloc of county bonds. Last year
Refsnes succeeded in getting the
Woodmen to agree to a reduction
in interest to AZ percent 1t is be-
lieved that he will begin arrange
ments for a refund at a lower rate
or at the same figure.
While discussing the bond situa-
ton with the board, Refsnes said,
1.-THE city moratorium has affected
the county credit adversely. 1t will
make it harder to sell your refund
ing bonds
This statement led to a discussion
Of the city bond action under the
leadership Of Mayor Bettwy. "It will
be impossible for the city to get
money at three per cent The credit
of the city is now such that it would
require master man to sell re-
funding bonds at any rate of in
terest,' Refsnes said.
But a group of taxpayers were
here on our neck because we failed
to declare moratorium on county
bonds" f. T. Frazier told Refsnes.
"Wait until next year before you
get sorry that you budgeted for
bonds. I'll bet five to one that the
city will be in court because OF
their bonds before the year is up"
Refsnes declared.
Next year the city taxpayer will
be saddled with two years OF taxes

and Mrs. John Atwood. 10S Way
side Drive, will get trip to the
San Diego exposition with all ex-
penses paid as result of winning
the title of Miss Arizona" at the
Fox Theater in Tucson Monday
night.
Competing against attractive girls
from throughout the state, Miss At
wood was declared winner of the
annual bathing beauty revue held
each year by the Phoenix Junior

Immediately after winning the

year dating from September 2,
1885, to September 2, 1886, aS

Miss Atwood will leave here for

BELIEF GOVERNOR MOEUR TO
SEEK THIRD TERM AS CHIEF
EXECUTIVE GROWING DAILY
Campbell May Seek Republican Nomination; Slmms
May Oppose Kerby And Stewart thompson
For Secretary Of State

that the Chief Executive will again
don the toga.
Political news of the fail has CEN
tered about a number of premature
announcements, and speculation as
to whether they will stand unalter-
ed when the near approach OF the
campaign brings political show
downs.
The question of the Republican
gubernatorial nominee is causing
mere than ordinary interest, because
of the party hope that strong can
didate might aid in crystallization
of sentiment against national DEM
ocratic moves. The recent blasts OF
former Gov. Thomas E. Campbell
against the New Deal" from the
Coast has revived speculation that
the former cowboy may return to
take a hand in Arizona politics.
In Democratic ranks, while
Moeur's announcement is being
shrugged away by many of his
henchmen who are frankly laying
plans for the next race, the an
nouncement of Thad Moore. chair
man of the state tax commission.
that he would enter the Democratic
primaries for governor is taken
skeptically.
It has been viewed as t trial ba-
loon. Similarly, the announcement
of Ana Frohmiller, state auditor,
that she might retire is viewed with
reservations. George Fleming, coun-
ty recorder of Coconino county, and
Howard Smith, former state land
commissioner, . are mentioned as
likely to seek the office.
Mitt Simnns, state treasurer; w.
Stewart Thompson. former Mohave
lounty supervisor, and James H.
Kerby, incumbent, may seek the
Democratic nomination for secre-
tary of state.
The political lists of a number of
other state offices have not begun
to form, even vaguely. Isabella
Greenway is expected to run again
for the Democratic congressional
nomination, with a prominent Mari
copa county judge mentioned as
among several possible opponents.
Roy Wayiand. former state home
loan head, Judge r. C.. Stanford,
and G. E. Addams have been men
toned among possible entrants in
the gubernatorial primary, but
friends have named at least half a
dozen others. Stanford is viewed as
the most likely to enter.
Speculation regarding ,Moeur's
possible race has turned to the type
Of platform to be advocated, with
political comment reporting ser
ious difference among advisors as
to the governors proposed plan to
urge complete reorganization Of the
state government.
A number of politicians are said
to be violently opposed to the issue,
but Moeur has repeatedly indicated
it is among unfinished business" OF
his administration.

City To Benefit By
 Payment Of Taxes
Conn. Co. to Forward Checks to 36 Communities for
 Bus Operation-$9,zl6. Expected Here

Thirty-six Connecticut cities and towns in which the Connecticut company operated motor bus lines last year will receive sum of $68,824.80 from taxes paid by the company to the state of Connecti- cut, half of the total paid last month and the other half payable in February, for use in the inn provement, maintenance and repair of their municipal streets, the com pany's records show
 This is an increase of slightly more than $12,000 over the amount received by the towns this year from taxes on the company's bus operation in 1888, and two more towns will share in the amount than was the case this year. Both increases are accounted for by the rapid growth in motorized lines.
 Payment of this money to the communities in which it operates pany indirectly through the state treasurer. The statutes provide that on bus operation the company shall pay in lieu of other taxes (except registration and gasoline taxes) total of three per cent of its gross revenues from that operation. They likewise provide that the treasurer shall return to the cities and towns, in which the company runs buses, sums pro rated on basis Of one cent for each bus mile operated within each towns boundaries during the pre- ceding year.
 "For Wear and Tear'
 This return, however, is made on bus mileage on streets which arc not part of the states trunk line and state aid systems. In other words, the money is turned over to the towns for operation on local city and town streets. In effect, it is a payment of one cent per mile of bus operation for the use of the streets upon which that operation took place. The towns are not compelled to use this money eith- CT wholly or in part for the up- keep the city streets, but 1t was un- doubtedly the intention of the legis- lature to have the funds theoreti- cally at least offset any wear and tear caused by the-buses on those streets.
 Last year the company's mileage of bus operation taxable under this statute was 6,882,480 miles in 36 cities and towns, which, figured at one cent a mile, is $68,842.80. The money will be distributed some time next month.
