The question was raised last night but was not fully answered. In a debate question period, George Morse, deputy county attorney, asked Swanick what has been his political activity in the city. "None except voting," Swan ick said.

Morse said he was wondering whether Swanick had voted more than once in the last three years. "You said you are wondering and you have checked the answer before asking," said Swanick. because his (Swanick's) proposal for broadening the tax base would increase the tax rate by 80 cents. The mayor then discussed his plan for eliminating slums and putting areas to the south and west to use for expansion of the downtown district as well as providing for parking and better traf fic circulation. Questions asked followed in gen eral the topics covered in the talks.

On slums, Hummel said the city ordinance has been revamped so that it complies with federal regu lation, and that a survey is to be made to see how many people and homes are affected. Swanick, asked how he would attempt slum clearance without such aid, said he would need expert advice. He added that there is a feeling the federal budget is too high now and that that would be "the last resort." Hummel then asserted that Tuc son pays its share of taxes and asked if it should not participate in such a program. On the annexation question, Hummel said fire service was given new areas by use of a "sea ond line" which does not answer first alarms in any case. Police, h6 said were put on rearranged beats.

The mayor then said garbage collection was extended under a contract drawn by a Republican administration. He added that the contractor has covered trucks not open trucks as has been stated. Swanick said he would have provided more fire protection than "second line" equipment and that only 11 policemen were added 60 days after a large annexation. He said he would have annexed "only as fast as we could digest" an area. He added that he would not dribble away funds on un necessary items.

The two then argued over the amount of income that is realized from annexed areas. To a question about opposing a budget relief law, Hummel said he wanted a different law but worked for the first law after it was amended because it helped some Arizona cities. existing highway will then become a two-lane thoroughfare for westbound traffic. The project wjll be an extension of the four-lanine of Route 80 from Park avenue and will tie in at the east end to the four-lane divided highway completed during the past year. Contractor for the improvement is the San Xavier Rock and Sand Tucson, which was awarded the $387,607.15 contract Feb.

27 by the State Highway Commission. U. S. Bureau cf Public Roads concurrence, assuring 95 per cent federal financing, was announced March 11. The contract calls for completion of the project by Nov.

30. The portion of the highway starting at Alvernon and running east for two miles is on the state primary system, and the five and one-fourth miles running east from this point is on the interstate sys- tern. This point, two miles east of Alvernon, where the primary and interstate systems join, is where the new realigments will branch off to the northwest at some future date. Eventually an interchange structure is planned at this point. Additional planning also calls for interchange structures at Cray, croft road and Wilmot road.

The easterly five and one fourth mile stretch of the project that is on the interstate system will have controlled access with a part of the area having frontage roads. Construction specifications covering the entire seven and one fourth miles calls for grading, draining, select material, aggregate base, bituminous plant mix, emulsified asphalt seal coat and -other incidental work. On the state road system in Pima County, the planned expenditures total on the county network, $1,231,000. Arizona has a total of approximately 1,200 miles in the system of interstate and defense highways throughout the United States. Only six other states embrace more of this network than Arizona, During the next three years Arizona is scheduled to receive $55,718,000 in federal interstate funds for improvement of the interstate system.

Arrest Wins Praise For Detective City Detective Leland Casey was commended yesterday by Acting Chief of Police Paul Bohardt for work that led to the apprehension Friday of self-confessed burglar and safecracker George T. Hutchinson. Hutchinson, a suspect in more than 30 burglaries in Tucson, was arraigned in Justice Court yesterday and was held to answer in Superior Court. "This is not only a graphic example of an officer not being contented to spend the required eight hours," Bohardt said of Casey, "but shows that with some extra time, effort and elbow grease, an officer can get the job done. "Your continual investigation into the burglary of the Palo Verde market and final information developed from a license plate number brought about the arrest of Hutchinson The commendation also singled out Patrolman Joseph Dotseth, Sgt.

C. E. Crutchfield and Lt John Breglia. Hutchinson was arrested Friday night after Crutchfield spotted the license plate of the wanted man. The burglary suspect had changed cars but had kept the same plates.

He was kept under surveillance by Crutchfield and Dotseth until he was identified as the man they wanted, then brought to the station for interrogation. Jurists Playing 'Musical Chairs' In Three Courts It will be a game of musical chairs as far as Superior Court Judges are concerned this week in Tucson. Three local jurists, J.

Swanick opened with a brief talk in wmcn ne saia a city witn a five-million-dollar budget calls for businessmen in the administration. "We believe in annexation," the Republican nomnee said, "but each area should be chewed, swal lowed and digested before more expansion is undertaken." He accused the Democrats of hindsight and then came out against removal of the law which restricts new budgets to 10 per cent increase over a previous budget. Removing the law would allow unlimited spending and could lead to higher taxes, Swanick said. He said he preferred keeping the law to Hummel's prior statement that no council would over spend for fear of repercussions.

Hummel countered in a state ment that called this "a year of decision for Tucson." He said the community has changed from rural to urban but that our laws still are designed for farming and mining areas. The Republicans, he said, are in the position of, saying "let me have the reins, but don't trust me." Hitting at GOP statements about "running to Washington" for federal aid for slum clearance, Hummel asked: "Should we run to Phoenix?" In that connection he hit at the idea of legislators from other communities limiting Tucson's budget making. Declaring that Tucson has pur posely encouraged growth. Hum- mel said the administration has done something about growth by taking in new areas. The city is now in a position to solve its problems because it has increased the water department by 60 per cent and can also con serve water resources through purchase of $3,500,000 in private utilities with a payment of only $270,000.

He accused the Republicans of talking about minor items and of not having a positive program. Hummel said Swanick does not understand the budget limit law TUCSON TODAY Luncheon Clubs, Meetings: Tucson Ad Club, 12 noon.
