RECOMMENDED AN SIS, 900
SANITARY SEWERAGE SYSTEM
Engineer Phillips Suggests Two Main
Sewers-Matter Fully Discussed by
the COnncilmen

Last night at a meeting of the city
council. the report of Mr.. r. A. Phil
Inns. the expert sanitary engineer, of
st Louis, employed by the city to
come here and make an Investigation
II the plans for the proposed outlet
sewer and TO give estimate OF the
cost, made his report, which was fol-
lowed by much discussion.
Mr.. Phillips recommended in his re
port that if it was decided TO continue
the present system for both house
sewerage and storm water, that the
plan made by local engineers Thistle
wood and Dewey. 20 make the outlet
at a point below the Halliday instead
Of at Tenth street, be adopted.
He strongly endorsed however, the
plan OF installing a separate sanitary
sewer to take care of the foul sewer
age ana leave the present system for
drainage and storm water only.
The report was read by the city
clerk and at the conclusion the mayor
was asked that the aldermen express
their views regarding the same.
Alderman Wood brought up the
question as to the legal phase of the
latter plan. 1t was a question in his
mind as to whether the city could be
divided into drainage districts and b
taxed for a number of years to pay
Tor the new sewerage system.
Mr.. June was Of the opinion that
while the proposed new sanitary sys-
EN- would be a good thing for the
city, there was not as great need fol
it just now as there was for system
that would drain the low parts of tbs
city. especially in the upper end.
As stated by Mr. Phillips in his re
port, the plan Of the local engineer
to make the outlet at a point below
he city, which according to their es
innate would cost about $G0,a00, was
very feasible one and said that he
lad found that their plans were cor
| reet.
The subject was discussed at muci
ength by the aldermen and it wai
inally decided upon motion of Alder
nan June to refer the matter 10 tbs

RIGHTS OF ARlZONIANS
 IN THE GOVERNMENT
The Views of Governor Kibbey in an
 Albuquerque Paper.

Tho Albuquerque Citizen has ob-
 tained the views of Governor Kibbey on
 the subject of joint statehood and
 prints them along with the picture of
 the governor who says:
 q think I am entirely safe in saying
 that the vast majority of the people
 of Arizona are opposed to joint state
 hood of Arizona and New Mexico, even
 though single statehood should be de-
 nied for an indefinite time.
 'The Hamilton bill, which was under
 consideration at the last session of
 congress- is particularly obnoxious to
 our people. That bill first consum-
 mated the jointure of the two territor- ies as a preliminary to the state mak-
 ing process. New Mexico has two or
 three times our voting population and would necessarily predominate. "The bill provides for a constitution al convention, to which forty dele gates were apportioned to Arizona and seventy to New Mexico. It is further provided that the constitution framed by this convention shall be submitted to the people, not of each territory, separately, but to the people of both territories joined for that purpose. i Thus New Mexico can preponderate in lfalnllS the cOIlSItIullOll, ana eIlO-Ce it's adoption against the unanimous protest of every. citizen of Arizona.
 That is un-American, arbitrary and unjust.
 Ut has been our observation that eastern people are too little acquaint- ed with the local conditions here and in New Mexico. which are influential and ought to be controlling, in the de- termination Of these questions.
 "The people who have settled in Ari- zona are mostly American citizens. If they possess those qualifications which would make them fit to participate in the affairs of a state government com posed of the two territories as Ameri- can citizens, they are fit to consent or dissent from the proposed government. American citizenship is an undivid-
 and each man of our few is just as tenacious of his rights as an American citizen as each one of the millions of the greater states, and he is just as much entitled to them.
 "A residence of more than eighteen years in Arizona, and an extensive ac- quaintance throughout it's extent and a participation extending over most of the time Of my residence here in its public affairs affords meo opportunities for knowing the sentiment of the peo- pie of the territory I have no hesi- tancy in saying that the sentiment of our people is overwhelmingly against joint statehood"
