AN ADVISORY BOARD.

The bond ordinance is uppermost in
inquire what safeguards arc to be pro-
vidcd for the expenditure Of the money
which may be voted. They will not
tolerate any loose handling Of that
fund.
1t is proper to inquire us to what safe
guards the Council in it's cramped and
limited position is able to provide. In
section Is OF tho city Charter is found
the necessary authority. Under that
section tho Council has tho power to
create an advisory board.
Now, what is tho plain necessity of
the situation? the Council is not
salarieG body It's members generally
work for their living. They clnnot
afford to devote the necessary time TO
watching in person that public improve
lnents are properly rlade. Therefore
these duties should be delegated to
those who can.
If an advisory board should be
created composed Of, say, three mem
bers. one should DO u civil engineer,
one man accustomed to contract orll--
master mason preferablc-and the
third banker or business man familiar
with financial operations. Each mem
Der should be thoroughly conversant
with the citys nee S with tue wishes
of the people. Each should be Il man
of known integrity, ofupromiEonce, and
in whom the public would place i'm
plicit confidence These would consti-
tute an ideal advisory board. 1t, mem
bers should he paid literally from the
time their actual duties began.
What should be the duties OF this
board? AS the Council couiI delegate
nothing more, the board should lie ad :
visory in its character, but lis advice
should be like the advice OF Il prime
minister To his i..n-tho power
behind tho throne.
The board should inspect the ground
and advise where public improvements
should nc made, as its preliminary
duty. Itshould he made tho custodian
OF bids for contracts and advise not only
as to the terms OF the contracts. but as
to their acceptance or rejection.
The o .ri should conduct Il close
personal supervision o: the work Of car
rying cut III. terms Of tho cont act, and
should advise the Council Us to the DC
gross OF the work ;ni the disbursement
Of money on the contracts.
This board should bo created at the
next Council meeting, and it's members
appointed for fixed term. Tho make
up Of this board and the powers invested
in it will 20 lar toward determining tn,
minds OF The frceiloldcrs as TO tho bono
ordinance.
This is the rational solution of thu
difficulty, and is Endorsed by tho lead
ing property owners of Hoi mike.

The capital stock of the company is one hundred thousand 100,000) shares of ten ($10) dollars each.
 One-half of the capital stock will be sold in the Territory of Arizona, payable in land adapted to the cultivation of sugar beets, sugarcane sorghum and sac charine products at the market price.
 The other half will be sold for cash, at not less than par, for the purpose of pur- chasing, importing and erecting machin- cry adapted to manufacturing domestic sugar.
 The fifty thousand shares reserved for the farmers can be paid for at any time within five years from the date of the organization in land or it's saccharine productions, such as sugar beets, sugar cane, sorghum, etc., etc., and the sub scribers will be entitled to draw divi- dend pro rata sn payments made.
 The fifty thousand cash shares must be fully paid on delivery, and will be entitled to a full dividend semi-annually.
 It is reasonably expected that the company can declare dividend of 25 per cent per annum on current business, and have some land left.
 After the capital stock shall have been disposed of and one-half fully paid in cash, the company will be authorized to issue equal to one-half of the capital stock, bonds secured by mortgage, upon all the property of the company, pay able in twenty years, with interest at the rate of percentum per annum, payable semi-annually, for the purpose of devoting the proceeds to the purchase of land, and fos no other purpose; pro- vided, always, that these bonds cannot be issued nor a mortgage on the prop erty executed without the approval of a majority of the shareholders.
 The Government of the United States offers to pay a bounty of two cents per pound or 40 dollars per ton on domestic manufactured sugar, and to admit free of duty, until the first day of July, 1892, all machinery required for its manu- facture.
 The Territorial Legislature, at its last session, passed an act exempting all land used in the cultivation of sugar beets, as we'll as the plant and machin- cry employed in the manufacture of do- mestic sugar, from taxation for ten years.
 We imported from foreign countries during the last fiscal year, sugar, mo- lasses, candy and confectionery to the value of $1Ol ,293, 1926, or sent away up- wards of one hundred million dollars, which can te retained at home by en- couraging the manufacture of domestic sugar.
 The average yield of saccharine matter from sugar beets in France is only per cent, in Germany 10 per cent.
 In California the average yield is 15 per cent.
 It is con6dentlybelieved that the soil and sun of Arizona will yield much larger polarization from sugar beets than France, Germany, California, or any other country; and if these premises are correct, the profits will exceed that of any other sugar factory in the United States.
Arizona republican., 1891-07-17
@ THE ARIZONA SUGAR COMPANY O

The farmers who may subscribe to the stock of the company will have @ vital and personal interest in the production of sugar beets.
 Farmers and capitalists can estimate the chances of loss and gain as we'll as the directors of the company, but it may be promised that agricultural land free from taxation forms safe investment, and that machinery which can be inn ported free of duty and enjoys immu- nifty from taxation, is only subject to loss by fire, which can be covered by insurance.
 Land in Arizona will produce at least twenty tons of sugar beets per acre, twice annually.
 The market price will depend upon the quantity of saccharine.
 Sugar beets require neither bagging nor storage; but are cash at the mil, and the company might even be able to ad- vance money on unencumbered land de- voted to their cultivation.
 It is matter of consequence in some parts of Arizona that sugar beets ex- tract alkali from the soil better than any other production.
 After supplying the home market in Arizona with sugar, molasses, confec- tions, etc., transportation is the most serious question, and the smaller bulk the production of the country can be reduced into the better for the producer.
 Sugar will bear transportation better than hay, grain, or ores.
 A sugar mill at some railway depot with capacity of 100 tons per day, at $5 per ton for sugar beets, would be a great benefit to the farmers and mer. chants of Arizona.
 The cooperative system of offering the farmers one-half of the capital stock payable in the productions required for the mill has worked well in Germany and France, and in fact the co6perative system in every country is the out growth of civilization.
 The farmers interest in the company will be guarantee to the nonresident shareholders of vigilant watchfulness over the management, and by united eff. fort staple production may be intro duced in Arizona which will enliven the source of all permanent prosperity AGRICULTURE.
 It is not to be overlooked that after the saccharine matter is extracted from sugar beets the residium forms excellent food for sheep, cattle, hogs, poultry, etc., and nothing that comes from the soil is wasted.
 The cultivation of sugar beets may be carried on by the least intelligent labor. Indians, Mexicars, children may all be employed in trsnsplanting the beets and gathering the crop. Only the mill re. quires intelligent labor. .a
 Sugar industries are being stnG many States of the Union less naU by nature to the growth of sGaI products than Arizona, and an ef3hgt en the part of the residents may encourage assistance from abroad.
