hands Of the Arizona Highway Com
mission Calling for the expendi-
ture over an indefinite number of
years Of $100.000.000 the program
proposes development during the

hensiva highway system traversing

that the highway commission, dur
ing the fiscal years 1946-1947 and
l947-194S. spend roughly $10,000.000
for primary road construction and
reconstruction. This would be on
work that would be eligible for
federal aid in financing.
The program also calls for the
commission to make expenditures
during the two-year period of ap-
proximately S4.070.000 for construc-
tion md reconstruction on certain
secondary roads. also TO qualify un-
der federal aid requirements.
Action on a long-range program
for the state. which would take
between 10 and IA years to COM
plete. al cost roughly estimated
at close TO s1O0,000,0O0 was defer
red at last weeks meeting. The
long-range programs. however. will
continue to receive study by the
committee.
The 100000 which the COM
mittee will recommend be spent
during the next two fiscal years on
primary roads should be allocated
according to the decision reached
by the group, as follows:
U. 5 Highway Sc. s3.000,000; U.
S. Highway 6O-7O. s2.60O.0O0; U. S.
Highway so. s2.10O.OOO; U. S. High
way 50. S1,150,000; and State High
way 81, S1.150,0OO.
The two-year development pro-
gram approved for secondary roads
includes the following recommen-
dations: U. S. 666, 100000; U. s.
90. $1.000.O00: State Highway SO,
81, 100000 State Highway Sc, $780,
600 and State Highway 65, S170,-
| 900.
A schedule of visits to various
parts OF the state, so that members
may better acquaint themselves
With actual highway conditions,
will be worked out.

City Leases Site
On Wilson Ave.
For Housing Units
Federal Public Housing Au-

For Servicemen And Fam
lilies

Arrangements are being com
pleted for the leasing of property
on Wilson avenue by the city for
use as a site for a group OF federal
housing units. Twenty of the units,
sought by the city TO alleviate the
housing shortage, have been prom
ised by the Federal Public Housing
Authority as soon as the lease and
an agreement between the city and
the housing authority are signed
and delivered.
The property on Wilson avenue
Is owned by the Catholic church,
Tucson district, and adjoins the St
James church. Lying just west OF
tbe church the tract has a frontage
OF 2S3 feet on Wilson avenue and
a depth of 140 feet.
The units, designed for the use
of returned servicemen and their
families, are authorized under a
measure which makes surplus war
housing available to communities
faced with lack of homes for vet
erans. Under the terms of the mea-
sure Coolidge must furnish the
land and will carry the RESPONSE
bility of managing the project, col
lecting rents, etc. The FPHA will
pay the costs of constructing the
units and of equipping them with
stoves, refrigerators and heating
units.
The lease on the land will run for
two years according to city clerk
A. ID. Tyler, and may be renewed If
the housing emergency is not over
at the end of that time. When the
emergency housing is no longer
needed the buildings must be torn
down and disposed of by the city.

New Presbyterian
Church BuiIdinq
viii Be Erected
Opportunity Is Offered For
Memorial Gifts For War
Heroes, Pastor Announces

Memorial gifts for a new church
building which will be erected IL
the near future by the Coolidge
Community Presbyterian Church on
the church's present foundation
and basement at Third and Pinkley
streets, will be sought from Coo
lidge residents according to an an
nouncement made this week by
Rev. Joseph Kamphuis, pastor of
the church.
AT time when new legions Of
heroes are coming out of World
War ii, and our thoughts are turn
ed to how we can best commemo-
rate their high courage and i'm
mense sacrifice, the Community
Presbyterian Church is offering the
people of Coolidge an opportunity
to memorialize our heroes through
gifts to the new church." said Rev.
Kamphuis.
Mr.. F. A. Crosby, Long Beach.
California, a member of the Board
of National Missions of the Presby-
terian Church, is in Coolidge to d.
rect this financial drive. Plans are
being drawn for 10000 structure,
of which amount $4,000 is to be
raised in the present campaign.
which is being rapidly organized
under Mr.. Crosby's direction.
The Community Church, as 1t
was called in the early days, was
the first church in Coolidge, and
was established here when the
town boasted population of less
than two hundred. The present
building used for worship was
brought in to Coolidge in parts on
box car and set up on the present
site. The foundation and basement
on which the new structure Is to be
erected were built while the Rev.
Earl Ward, who served here for
over nine years, was pastor.
The new building will contain
more adequate and modern accom-
modations for the Sunday School,
youth groups and vacation bible
schools as well as rooms for pas
tors study. assembly, and the choir
The new and permanent chapel will
be definitely designed for services
of worship. A fifty per cent in
crease in the Sunday School at
tendance during the last six months
has overflowed the present facili-
ties.
Because so many of the young
men and women of Coolidge re-
ceived their early Christian train
ing and instruction in this church,
memorial gifts are being welcomed
in their name. Memorials In the
past have glorified the warrior and
the war itself The Community
Church offers an opportunity for
memorials in the form of stained
glass windows, pulpit furniture, or
gan, pews, church bells as well as
general gifts which will be perma-
nent reminders of the sacrifice and
courage of our youth through these
past years.
One young man has already made
a substantial gift for this project
out of his thankfulness for being
back home again. A mother has
expressed a desire to make gift
in appreciation of the return of her
three sons.
Clark ]. Wells is chairman OF the
executive committee, and r. w.
Taylor is treasurer of the building
campaign funds. The present pas
to, the Reverend Joseph Kamphuis,
served as an army chaplain during
