APROBLEM OF SERIOUSNESS

When the Mesa water works system
is in operation and the water is drawn
from a stratum far below the surface
veins which now supply the city wells
it will mean relief from one of the
very worst conditions that has ever
confronted this town-that of impure
water The fire protection alone Is
enough of a reason for installing a
plant the size of the one being erected.
but when the drinking water supply is
taken into consideration the wonder is
that such a system was not installed
years ago.
However, the system has been in
Stalled. the tax payers voted for the
system and the tax payers will pay
for it, that is, provided a plan cannot
be inaugurated wherein the system will
pay for itself.
A committee is at present engaged in
determining the number of residents of
the town who are ready and willing to
sign up contracts for water from the
city plant.
There are a few who are not in favor
of using city water This is propo-
sition which is not compulsory. 1t IS
a matter of choice or rather a matter
of cleanliness. The majority of resi-
dents of the town are installing the city
water. they are putting in bath rooms
and they are putting in toilets, there Is
no sewerage system and many are
using their wells for cesspools. These
wells which a majority of the citizens
of the town will use for theirssewerage

BUMPER ORANGE CROP
OPINION OF ORCHARD|sTs
The Only Obstacle Being That Bios
some Were Too Thick For All to
Stay.

That the orange crop the coming
season will be the best for a good
many years is the unanimous opinion
of Orchardists in the vicinity of Mesa.
The blossoming was successful and
there were no obstacles only
that the blossoms crowded each other
off the limbs on account OF their
numerousness. there not being room
enough for all to hang on The orange
crop from this point has been increas-
ing for the past three years until now
ii has come to cut quite a figure in
the valley shipments to the east. How
ever, the majority of orange orchards
will not be in bearing for a few years,
There being several hundred acres
planted last year.

incandescent materials, such as the Edison
