1922: “Flagstaff is arriving in a big way,� declared Hon. T.A. Riordan, president of the chamber of commerce in his address before a joint meeting of the Rotary Club and chamber of commerce. Mr. Riordan spoke of the proposed auto line between Grand Canyon and Flagstaff � which the Harvey people have under consideration. There is also the possibility of a Harvey house here. Frank Goodman, newly appointed state engineer, called attention to the fact the proposed Oak Creek Road might not be considered by the government and urged quick action to save it. The meeting was one of the most important meetings in some weeks. Mr. Goodman advised that there was reason for apprehension as to the Oak Creek Road project, which has heretofore had good sailing weather. He has been advised by the district forester that this north-and-south road was not on the approved forest highway program and could not come up for consideration with funds made available by the act of Nov. 9, 1921, as the projects selected already for Arizona would greatly exceed available funds. The apportionment of funds comes before the U.S. Bureau of Public Roads, U.S. Forest Service and state highway department. The federal program calls for the completion of the Flagstaff Angell Road east. This is estimated to cost the county $125,000 and if made permanent will run up to $277,000 � which will make it impossible for Coconino County to make appropriations of the kind for several years. The Oak Creek road is one of Arizona’s best bets. It will connect all Arizona with the worldwide fame of the Grand Canyon.
