present system of the Phoenix Water [ company to supply the citizens of Phoenix and our patrons with the nec- 1 essary amount of water for domestic purposes, and the insufficient water pressure for fire purposes for the city of Phoenix.
 We have had it in mind for long while to improve the system and have made some efforts heretofore to ar range for its improvement and en- largement. We can now announce to you and to the citizens of Phoenix that we have made arrangements to make such an enlargement and improvement as will meet all present demands of the city and its inhabitants, and which will provide for the prospective growth of the city.
 We have had prepared plans and specifications by an eminent water works engineer, and have submitted the same to the Mayor and Common Council Of the city of Phoenix. with an announcement of our purpose to in good faith carry them out.
 We appreciate the laudable purposes of your committee to arrange for wa ter system for your city and its inhab- itants commensurate with its demands ! DOIn as 10 lHG present. dllb lllG 10L0AG, and we believe that the system which We are about to ina1gurate will meet all the demands of the city of Phoenix and its inhabitants, as well as your approval.
 1 A greater delay in the commence ment of these Improvements has hap pened than we desired or could prevent, but we can now announce to your con- mittee as we have announced to the Mayor and Common Council. that con-
 tracts for pipes and appliances for the | contemplated plant and system were some three months ago concluded and
 the shipment of the pipes has already commenced. The congested condition of the different pipe works of the coun- try is such that the work cannot De completed at once, but we have asslIr- ance that the pipe will all be delivered
 without material delay, and that sui ficient quantity of pipe and material
 will be upon the ground for us to com mence the active operation of laying and attaching the same before the first
 of October. 1903. and will be delivered so that the work can be completed by
 the first of April, 1904
 When the proposed water works sys-
 tenn is completed, we believe that it will meet every demand of the people of
 Phoenix, not only for the present but
 For years to come, and that the effic-
 iency of the system when so completed
 will be second to none in the country.
 Knowing that you have the best in
 terests of the inhabitants of Phoenix
 at heart in the matter of supplying
 them with an abundance of water for
 fire purposes, domestic and other uses,
 and feeling that your only interest is
 to see the people so supplied, we invite
 your hearty cooperation in our work
 of laying the pipes and improving the
 plant, and that you do not by resolu-
 tion or other action throw any impedi-
 ments in the road to the completion of
 a work which we have so laboriously tried to commence and are so earnestly
 and in good faith seeking to complete We invite your attention to the plans
 which we have lodged with the Mayor and Common Council and ask from you : any suggestions which look towards the improvement of the plans.
 We hope that your committee will meet us upon that proposition with the ! spirit of fairness and good faith which
 we have in entering upon it. Our wfsf is to supply the city of Phoenix ant its inhabitants with as an efficien water service as it is possible for thu 3 city to have, and we speak with con.
 fidence when we say that when oul system is completed as planned it vii t not only satisfy present demands bu ] be pride to its people in, the future. r Begging your hearty cooperation, w l are, Yours very truly
