Welcome.. To Arizona

(Continued from Page 13) It created a friendly feeling immediately in me for Arizona.

"This is only one of many such remarks that have been made unsolicited by visiting motorists and I want you to know, Mr. Corbell, that such actions on the part of the men who welcome the motorists at the borders of Arizona are doing more to publicize the Southwest than any other one effort."

These unsolicited testimonials from persons qualified to observe are an indication of the results of Arizona's crusade of good will.

In a reply to Mr. Bronx, of Salina, Kansas, Mr. Davis wrote, in part: "It is generally recognized that Arizona has been fortunate in securing constructive legislation, which tends to simplify and facilitate the control and supervision of motor vehicles used within the state. The Motor Vehicle Division, under the law, is responsible for the collection of all revenues pertaining to the operation of the State Highway Department, as well as being responsible for the establishment of safety regulations and providing adequate information in regard to road conditions, also taking the necessary precaution to insure safety and convenience for the many people who visit this state from time to time.

"In our instructions to the personnel Of the highway checking stations, we have constantly emphasized the necessity of being courteous and respectful in their attitude toward the traveling public.

"Arizona has more to offer in the way of natural scenic beauty and points of unusual interest than any other state in the Union. However, the natural ter-rain of this state presents some diffi-culties to those who are not familiar with driving through mountainous country. With this in mind, we have felt it is our duty and responsibility to make an effort to aid and assist the visitor with the peculiar conditions con-nected with operating a car over our highways."

Drain Those Spongy Subgrades

With Corrugated Perforated Pipe Armco Galvanized for 8" and larger sizes— Calco Asphalt Dipped for 4" and 6".

Then the road surfaces will stand up and do their work regardless of the weather.

Place the pipes with perforations down on layers of coarse gravel or crushed rock and backfill with similar material to the surface except where it is desired to exclude surface run-off. For such locations make the top six inches of fill of asphalt mix.

A good house has a dry cellar and a tight roof. So has a good road.
