De dlsappolnteo n the bonds voted and the con tract let if do have a few thousand dollars not required for this work.
 OUTFAIL.
 In the matter of the disposal of the sewage have omitted septic tank and discharging it at the Forest ranch in location agreeable to NIT. Forest The outfall line is almost ideal one 2 as you will see-be noticing the profile being per cent grade with almost variations. There nave been some departures from the almost uniform grade for the purpose of crossing the wash and $ have accomplished these crossings by the use of inverted siphons, made of wood slave pipe, which under these circumstances will have almost as long life as the yitrfied pipe
 FLUSH TANKS AND WATER SUPPLY
 l have used relatively very few flush tanks and am proposing to have those made quite small so that not over 10000 gallons a day at the outside will be used for flushing the street mains. have studied this matter very carefully and am convinced that this is the correct theory for the design of sewer system under these conditions
 Hoping that what we have done may meet with your approval, and personally scknowledging my in debtedness to Mir. H. H HolberI and to MT Jorgeu sen. the City Engineer for the interest and ac curacy they have shown in this work have the honor 10 remain.
 Yours very truly.

 Every city in Arizona where the population has reached the 10000 mark and over have had the public spirit and the sense of welfare of the com munity so impressed upon them. as to provide them selves with sewer system. Health officers unite in the opinion that whenever ten thousand people live together in close proximity a system becomes an absolute necessity as Q preventative against fever, and other contagious diseases In the past Bisbee, which is now fast taking the place of the leading city in Arizona has alone been behind the procession of progress. Prescott. Phoenix Tue son have met this condition face face and solved 1t satisfactorily by building and operating a sewer system snail Blsbee do likewise is the question which presents itself for our approval today
 The physicians of Bsbee published not long ago statistics, regarding the in wages occasoned by the prevalence of typhoid fever during the summer These figures were compiled from the hospital rec ords alone and show that thousands Of dollars are lost to the community on account Of this disease alone lt is not maintained that the sewer system will be cure for all this, but it will be preventa- tive measure, which if it is grasped at the pres ent' will prove continual loss to the community. not alone in earning power. but on account of an exodus Of residents to more favored locality in this respect.
 HOW BONDS WILL BE PAID
 The law provides that tax levy of GOA may be made to pay the interest the public debt Placing the valuation of the city property $2 900 GOO which is very reasonable estimate. this levy will raise annually S8,0OO The interest due on the bonds amounts to $4,SO0 per annum, leaving surplus each year to be placed n the sinking of s3 200 The sinking fund will protect the principal and inter- est on the entire issue of bonds in It years
 The city tax rate is .006 on each sI GO valua- ton After the sewer bonds issued the city tax rate will be one cent each q co valuation or at the rate Of 5000 on each s100O valuation If you are on the city tax roll for $30000 your taxes will be s3GO per annum, for all city purposes in- cluding the sewer, AND THE LAW PROVIDES THAT THIS RATE CANNOT BE INCREASED
 That valuations will increase and be added to by building boom, there can be dolbt, and there fore on reasonable basis it is safe say that the principal and interest this issue of sSOONO can be fully cared for in It years The sewer bonds mean an additional tax of s400 per year on each 5000 valuation, which when the increased benefits to the health and prosperity of our community is considered, must seem too small item 10 cause objection.
 THINK AND ACT FOR BISBEE
 Located are. with, DO available means for carrying off the wastes, there is urgent need for cess-pools, and when such pools placed close together. they ID many parts of our city the danger to public health is many times increased When the wastes run into the cess-pools thcy decompose, contaninate the earth the air and the water, and become breeders and disseminators of disease. That we have had serious epidemcs or plaques in our midst during the past, has been good fortune and the prevent in the future should be the first thought of every property The very best preventative is a well regulated sew Are you interested in your own health: the health of your loved ones and the health of the citl: VOTE THE BONDS
 With the sewer in working condition at ali times, the property owners has another incentive to i'm prove his property, and in the erection of future buildings make them of a permanent character than has been characteristic of the past With per manent homes established, under an improved con- dton of sanitation fewer residents of the city will seek other locations because of offering cani- tary conditions and result property will be in greater demand and be a desirable investment than could be otherwise with sewer.

 From every standpoint the ONE THING MOST NEEDED in our city at this present time is a good system of sewerage. Capital demands it; the busi- ness interests demand 1t; the residence owner must have it, and those of people who have to rent; are willing to pay their share of it. because of the extra comforts and reduction of doctors bills Would you business interests seek location Bis bee?
