easements are not forthcoming, neces-
stating following street lines.

The first state to pass an act per-
mitting the consolidation of schools
was New York (Union School law

as title TX of the Consolidated
School act of 1864. In 1874 the
law was put into operation for the

movement gained much headway.

Monahan Wins
Arizona Medal

Attorney S. D. Monahan won the
Arizona medal in the Wright Me-
mortal at the recent annual rifle
matches in Camp Perry, Ohio.
The Wright Memorial was an ag-
gregate of individual matches.
Mr.. Monahan spent three weeks
at Perry as reserve officer, and
enroute to Perry, one week at Camp
Custer, near Battle Creek, Mich. He
was the only member of the Ari-
zona reserve team shooting at Gus
ter.
Other Nogalians taking part in
the shoot at Perry were Lewis Bris-
tol and A. L. (Mitch) Tenney. Bris-
tol was a member of the Arizona
National guard team and Tenney q
member of the American Legion
team from this state.

mystery-location of the spot where
Francisco Vasquez de Coronado
crossed what is now hte u. S.-Mex-
ican border.
Street-corner historians long have
argued the question, some contend
ing he crossed just west of Bisbee,
others holding the view he crossed
the border while following the San
Pedro river farther westward and
still others claiming he made the
crossing at Lochiel on the Santa
Cruz river.
1t is quite problem, for Coro-
nado did not leave signposts and
much of the desert border country
has an almost monotonous SINH
larity.
The problem was so perplexing
that the Arizona Coronado Cuatro
Centennial Commission, appointed
by Governor Jones shortly after
congress authorized the expendi-
ture of $4,000 for erection of a
monument at the spot, appealed
to the federal government for as
sistance.

Man Speaker
AtCuston1s Meet

H. c. Worley, head of the School
of Instruction of the U. S. Customs
Service at Washington, D. c., met
with employees of the Customs Serv-
ice of the Arizona District at the in
spection room Thursday and discuss
ed with them the purpose of the
School of Instruction.
Mr.. Worley stated that the Gus
toms school was one of 100 such
schools organized by the govern
ment in the various departmental
agencies. The purpose of these
schools is to keep federal employees
better informed as to the rules and
regulations governing the functions
of their various departments, and to
keep them posted on the various
changes in law and procedure made
necessary by the frequent enact
ment of new legislation as well as
by the changes brought about by
changing economic and political con-
ditions throughout the world.
