BILL OF SALE CONVEYS
 CEMENT MILL ID CO:
lGOVER ENT PREREQUISITES LAST CLAIM TO ROOSE- WELT PLANT.
Tempe to Receive Full Credit Fo
 Her Public Spiritedness

With the presenting to the Recla- nation service of a check for the balance then remaining unpaid upon the cement mill at Roosevelt, the Ari- zona Cement company came into full possession of the plant on Saturday. A bill of sale was duly executed upon the check being issued and the gov ernment no longer holds any right or title in the property.
 The bill of sale embraces the build ing now standing at Roosevelt to- gether with all machinery used in the manufacture of cement. Simultaneous with the execution of the formal bill of sale, orders were issued from the Phoenix offices of the reclamation service that the representatives of the Arizona Cement company were to be given full and free access to the plant number of workmen are al ready engaged in dismantling the plant. The first work undertaken is that of taking the lining or fire brick from the inside of the kilns. These kilns are about seventy feet long and the present indications are that it will be possible to save up- wards of ninety per cent of the fire bricks
 According to A. c. Hulett the sales and publicity agent of the company, the concern is already nearly one half financed, with practically the en- tire holdings in the hands of local residents. The only notable exception to this is the case of C. w. Grouse. of Globe, who holds a large block of stock and who is also the company president Mir Hulett says that with out solicitation over $12.0O0 has been subscribed to the stock of the con- cern and that at this rate it will be an easy matter to have the plant re-erected and running fin less than five months.
 Relative to the story which has gained much publicity of late that the company would endeavor to create a new town to he named Portland, thereby distracting from whatever renown Tempe expected to gain from proximity to the new plant, MT. Hu
 lett stated emphatically that there was not the slightest intention upon the part of the company to belittle the claims Tempe had upon the con cern The name "Portland' had not been accepted for the new town for the very good reason that there was no town and probably never would be.
 We will erect no houses other than those actually required to per feet the plant. and whoever finds employment with us will of necessity have to live in Tempe and secure his supplies from that town. While our head offices will be located in | Phoenix. there is nothing we are dO- | ing or expect to do that would iden- tify the plant closely with any other place than Tempe.
 We would be thanlless, indeed. were We to accept the site and bonus from Tempe and then turn around and detract from the credit due her public spirited citizens. We have not even accepted name for our product or d brand or trade mark This mat i ter will be decided upon when we have something to sell
 Mir. Hulett expressed himself as more than pleased with the favorable outlook and particularly so when it | is brought to mind that whatever | financing has been done so far has been accomplished during that season of the year when the business men are supposed to be thinking more of sea coast visits and endeavoring to | bring about betterment of their l individual business conditions. He sets January as approximately the time when the mixers in the cement
 mill will begin their work.
