Note Book
HEIGHTENED INTEREST

in the need for additional revenue
for repair and maintenance OF city
streets Is noted in every section OF
Arizona This is particularly true
with the advent OF petitions for an
initiative Law which would give in
corporated towns and cities a share
Of gas tax collections This pro-
pOsal would mean a great deal TO
Coolidge. Based upon the amount
OF revenue distributed In January
Coolidge would have received
nearly $500 for that month. And
this sum will continue TO grow as
more and more new ears are avail
able and more and more tourists
drive the highways OF Arizona.
