Attempt TO Rob Valley
Hardware and San Carlos
Club Is Unsuccessful

Ray Wilson, alias Leroy Will
son. 2s years old, arrived in Cool
idge from San Francisco by way
of Phoenix Sunday evening, and
lost no time in finding a room in
the county jail.
According to his voluntary con-
fession, Wilson attempted to enter
the Valley Hardware store during
the night by a back entrance, but
had no luck. He then proceeded
to the San Carlos Club. and tried
TO open the door by using a chisel
but gave that up, and removed a
window pane. This set off the
burglar alarm, and Wilson fled
from the scene.
About II o'clock Monday morn
ing. the culprit met Dan Kinser,
town marshal. on the street and
gave himself up with the COM
ment. I'm the man you're looking
for"
Kinser turned him over to the
county authorities for prosecu-
ton.

PinaI County Asks
$4,000 Special
Levy for Roads

State tax commission receives Pc
fition from supervisors; 200 miles
OF farm-to-market roads need
hard surfseine in Casa Grande
valley.
Need for additional funds total
ing S63 900 to supplement pres
emily available monies which have
been earmarked for hard surfac-
ing farm-to-market roads through
out Casa Grande valley was re-
cited by Pinal county board of SUI
peryisors in petition to the state
tax commission.
The supervisors requested per-
mission to exceed its annual
budget by the amount asked.
Pinal county engineer Louis
Fiscel has estimated there is need
for 200 miles OF additional hard
surfaced roads throughout Pinal
county's agricultural area which
now stretches for fifty miles south
OF the ella river and comprises
260 900 acres.
During the war years the county
highway department was handi-
capped in problems of both main
tenance and new construction be-
cause of the scarcity OF material
labor and equipment.
When the county budget was
prepared early this summer a pro-
vision was made for a county road
levy OF but five cents per 500 OF
assessed valuation. on the basis
OF total valuation of S3s.S23. .003
the five cent levy raises sls,s50.00
Farmers and residents through
out the valley are in hopes that
gasoline tax revenues accruing 10
Pinal county together with the
s63 900 special levy will suffice TO
get the farm road Improvement
program underway and considera-
BILE work finished before next
summer.

Iq46 Tax Notices
Will Be Mailed
This Week and Nexf

Tax notices for 1916 will be
mailed from the county treasur-
er's office this week and next. The
list this year will reach 6400 in
number, which is 900 more notices
than were sent out last year. This
is the largest yearly increase in
the history OF Pinal county, ac-
cording TO the county treasurer.
The increase is due largely TO
several subdivisions which have
been made during the past year.
Eloy lead the county with five and
Coolidge followed closely with
four. When a subdivision Is made
Z number OF notices are necessary
where one sufficed before the di-
vision. AS indicated by records In
the county assessors office, valu-
alton of a parcel of land increases
about four times, on the average,
when subdivided.
A secondary cause for increase
in tax notices is the increase in
population within the county.

If some long-expected mail does
not reach you. it might be found
somewhere along the railway
track or adjacent desert near Cool
idge. Or it may be so shredded
that you will never receive a trace
of it.
Tuesday morning the 1924 train
threw off a bag of mail at Cool
idge as usual. However, the sack
was not thrown far enough and
the train, travelling at a high rate
of speed. sucked mail bag and
mail under the wheels, dragging ii
along the roadbed for three-quar-
ters OF a mile before the strong
canvas was chewed up enough To
drop completely free. Mail was
scattered up and down the track,
some intact but large quantity
in various stages of disintegration
The postoffice force at Coolidge

The heaviest rain ever recorded
for this vicinity during a three
day period-3.7 inches-fell over
a wide area surrounding Coolidge

immediate inconvenience and an
noyances, are happy about the sit
uation.
Weather reports have been kept
by the United States Park Service
weather station at Casa Grande
Ruins near Coolidge since Janu-
airy of 1885, and the rain this
week exceeds any on record dur
ing the 11-year period covered by

proach was in September. 1871,
when 2.2l inches fell. bringing the

Mail Scattered Along Track When
BdQ Is Sucked Under Train Wheels

and spent the day Tuesday sort
ing and piecing together frag-
ments. One postal employee might
find a page of letter and some
one else might have the remain
der or the envelope in which IT
was sent. In other instances the
process resembled putting togeth-
er parts of a jigsaw puzzle. The
pile of letters recovered contained
some government checks, private
checks money orders. and other
valuable pieces in addition to or
binary letters. One bright spot
was the discovery of bundle OF
registered mail with only the out
side wrapper mutilated.
Mail for Coolidge. Florence, Kel-
vim, Ray, Sonora. Hayden juno
ton. Hayden, and Winkelman was
identified among the debris. This
is the second occurrence Of such

Garbage Collection
Program Will Be
Activated Sept. q
Cooperation Of residents asked in
facilitating regular disposal Of
refuse; standard equipment
should be used.

On May 21 the city council
passed Ordinance No. 13. covering
garbage collection and disposal
Due TO lack of garbage cans. lack
Of labor and truck. the ordinance
has not been put into effect.
on September % the program
will be rejuvenated, and all resi-
dents are expected to comply with
certain regulations enumerated
which will enable carrying out of
the ordinance.
Garbage cans. although some
what hard TO get, are available.
Therefore, each resident wishing
TO have garbage removed must
have a tight can which shall not
be over l6 nor less than one gal
Ion capacity for wet garbage. This
standard is set so the one man will
be able TO handle the can without
too much difficulty. The can must
be tight and have a lid. For dry
garbage such as tin cans, etc, a
box shall be provided with ca
pacity not TO exceed eight cubic
feet. No dead animals of over five
pounds weight will be removed.
The difficulty TO date has been
that people are filling large bar
rels with garbage OF all descrip-
tions making it impossible for a
man to lift into truck. All sorts
OF containers are being used, many
of which break or slop over.
These conditions have made it vir-
tually impossible to retain man
on the job.
II the citizens will cooperate,
one man and one truck can easily
make regular daily collections,
thus improving the sanitary con-
ditiions of Coolidge immeasurably.
A new dump truck has been or
dered by the city council to be
used on the garbage collection
run
