discovered that ITioenix has a spettl limit.
Medford gave $20 for the information.
The speed limit is eight miles per hour.
Then the Mail-Tribune gave us some
more free advertising by cartooning our
Main street and stating that onr speed
limit was six miles per hour. The Tri
bune was within two miles of the truth
that time—the closest in a long time.
Then the cartoon infers that the road
(they mean street) was Dunn’s road.
That is as dose as they ever get to the
facts, as this street was built by Phoenix
and M r. Dunn had nothing to do with it.
We built the street with onr own funds
and the work is all paid for.
