1923: Flagstaff will be the main destination for the new White Limousine Stage Line to be established soon by Fred Harvey Systems. Four new 7-seat cars of his have been purchased for his $26,000 and are almost ready to enter service. The service will be gradually expanded until Flagstaff incorporates all the central scenic spots.

Take a look at the sketches shown on this page of the proposed improvements at the new Flagstaff Recreation Park. Ideally surrounded by large pine trees, there is a racetrack with baseball and soccer fields, a large ballroom, players’ rooms, and a grand bleachers with toilets and baths for players and visitors. Across the track from the grandstand is a 500-foot-wide, 1,800-foot-long lake for swimming and boating in the summer and skating in the winter. This is Flagstaff, watch out!

All of this and more for the enjoyment and healthy recreation of our citizens and visitors has been made possible because taxpayers have invested in the remaining 160-acre Clark Ranch and an additional $30,000 for improvements. .

1948: The issue of reserved Indian voting rights was filed today in U.S. District Court. His four members of the Apache tribe of the San Carlos and White Mountain Reservations filed a lawsuit to force the state to register eligible Indians. The plaintiff claimed to represent 50,000 Indians. The named defendant is an official who allegedly refused to register the Indians because their residence on the reservation made them “guardians.”

A woman finds her way to wisdom is well on its way—

That no woman can do everything for a man.

If she sheds tears or throws a tantrum and gets along with her husband, then she has paid too high a price for her victory.

That good temperament is more important than beauty in keeping a man for years.

A woman’s clothes cannot give her an air of distinction. She gives it to her clothes.

That a woman never really wins an argument with a man.

1973: Flagstaff has an opportunity to acquire major new industries. The Ralston Purina Company, a St. Louis-based food and feed company, is seriously considering Flagstaff as a pet food factory location. A company statement about the plant says that hiring will start at the 150-worker level and eventually he will grow to 300. Water was the main concern, as the amount of water he eventually used reached 400,000 gallons a day.

Coconino High School’s basketball team, who won the Arizona AA Championship over the weekend with wins over Phoenix’s Canyon de Oro and Flowing Wells, will be celebrated in a noon parade through the city of Flagstaff on Tuesday.

He said superior courts refer most couples to guidance clinics for counseling, and in many cases marriages can be saved through this means. He noted that counseling can help children make the transition.

1998: It’s 4R vs CFAR. More than a war of words, nothing this community throws punches at each other like the proposal to bridge Oak Creek at Red Rock Crossing. The fighting led to the creation of Red Rocks Responsible Residents who opposed the bridge at the crossroads and Concerned Citizens of the Alternative Route who supported the bridge. , council meetings and other forums where each faction has the upper hand. Lawsuit threats, some of which have actually been filed, fly around regularly. While CFAR’s primary interest is building bridges, 4R has emerged as an entity fighting developers and others seeking to push development opportunities in Sedona. 4R is also associated with the Sierra Club, which also opposes the bridge.

Zuni Heights could be a test case for builders looking to streamline the urban development process. It could be a linchpin to keep land development laws intact. And once built, it could be an affordable option for being a homeowner, or another argument against existing neighborhood rights.

A proposed 560-unit subdivision near Lone Tree and Zuni Drive will be submitted to the Flagstaff City Council this week. Flagstaff developer Ken Berkoff said he was ready to ask the city council to overturn the City Planning and Zoning Commission’s unanimous denial of the project on Feb. 10. The commissioner raised unanswered questions about the plan, from a lack of information about recreational facilities and open spaces to the question of who will pay for infrastructure. City officials were also turned down.
