INCREASE IN INTEREST RATES.
Cities Pay Little More for Borrowed

Washington, July 28.-Based upon
its Investigations into the question of
municipal Indebtedness made for the

sued a statement showing a gradual
increase in the interest rate paid by
cities on their funded Indebtedness
According to this showing the average
rate was 3-85 per cent in 1906; 3.89
in 1907, and 1892 in 1908. These fig
ures are on face values and admittedly

 The young couple have decided to go tO housekeeping immediately in the Mrs Steele house on West First ave nue where they will be at home 10 friends
 The presents varied and useful were one of the features of the ceremony and typified the high esteem in which the popular young couple are held by their many friends and acquaintances.
 The bride came tG Mesa from Colo radO about four years ago and since that time has become recognized as one of the most popular young ladies Of the town. Not necessarily from q society standpoint of view but rather that her true womanly character and her charitable kind disposition has been one that has been thoroughly ap- preciated by those who have made her acquaintance.
 The groom has been resident of Mesa for several years. coming here from Phoenix and to that place from Colorado. For the past few years he has been in the government employ on the transmission line work. His friends are numbered by his acquaint- ances and by all he is considered as a trustworthy young man in whom any confidence or trust repOsed would not be misplaced.

SPECIAL MEETING OF

Held for the Purpose Of Closing Up

A special meeting of the city coun- cil was held Tuesday evening for the purpose of holding @ conference with --. l.. Chandler. The bills for pumping for the past two months were both held up by the council and another bill for power supplied when the smaller pump was fin operation q couple of years ago had never been adjusted. It was the desire of the council tO close up all Of these old bills before the coming election for it is not known who will constitute the new council. The present members of that body rightly felt that they cared to leave the office free in every way with no debts unsettled hanging over their administration. Mir Chandler was present at the meeting and the different matters under con sideration were settled in way agreeable to all concerned.
 Several of Tempe's blacksmithS were present at the meeting in re- sponse to a request from the council to appear and answer to numerous complaints that have been made by residents from time to time regarding the presence on the streets in front of the different shops of numerous vehicles and implements. The gentle men assured the council that they would make every effort to keep the streets clear. though at this season Of the year it is impossible tO avoid hay ing good many machines scattered about within a radius of a block ar so of the shops.

PIONEER RESIDENT
 LEAVES FOR COAST
Has Been the Miller at the Hayden
 Mills for Over Thirty Years.

Another of Tempe's pioneers will leave Tempe today after an almost constant residence in the town of over d quarter of century. MT. and Mrs John Sievers will leave this evening for San Francisco where
 they expect to locate permanently and where they have relatives.
 MT Sievers has been q resident Of Tempe for the past thirty-tree years, coming here when the town consisted of practically nothing. He has watched it grow from that stage to it's present size and during all those years has been the miller at the Hay den flour mills. There are but few people in Tempe now who were here when he first arrived in the town. Not many men can boast of thirty three years service in one place and in one line of work but Mir. Sievers can and with pride. He could proba bly retain the position for d good
 many years more if he desired to, but
 he has concluded that he has worked long enough and he prOsposes to go to California and take life easy.
 Mir Sievers' place at the mill will
 be taken by F. P. Apgar of Visalia. California. MT. Apgar and family ar rived here the first of the week and will occupy the WalswOrth home on East Sixth street.

THE PROPOSED PLAN 0F OVERLAND COMPANY
Work Will Begin in This Community
 in Four Weeks.

w. H Tharpe. general manager of
 the Overland Telephone company the
 concern that some time ago came into
 possession Of the Peoples Independent
 Telephone company of this place as
 well as the Home Telephone company
 Of Phoenix, was Mesa visitor yes
 terday for the purpose of going over
 the entire local system with view tO
 determining if there was a possibility
 Of any accidents resulting from any
 wires coming in contact with any lines
 transmitting electricity. According to
 Mr. Tharpe he found the property in first class condition with regard to
 any probable accidents but he never theless in order to be on the safe side
 has ordered more protection to be in
 stalled.
 The matter of new improvements in this section was taken up with MT Tharpe and he gave out that within four weeks he would have q force or men stringing wire between this place and Phoenix. the poles having been set for some time. The idea as outlined is to make Phoenix the center of the system for the valley and to place a phone in every residence in the valley where that residence is owned by the occupant With the Phoenix exchange as the hub all users of the Overland ! service will be privileged to talk to any other resident of the valley using the same service on practically the 1 same plan as one subscriber south of Mesa of the present service talks to another subscriber living east of Mesa ,.lx at Phoenix of course does not mean that there will be no local central station for it is at the local station
 where considerable money will be ex pended in improving the service Ac cOrding to Mir. Tharpe there will be two blocks Of service which will be underground work entirely and all of
 the more important leads will be of cable construction instead of by the
 exposed wire system as at present in use There are at the local station a carload of cedar poles both twenty and thirty feet in length which will he used in the city construction. II Is
 planned to dispense with all of the
 pine timbers which are at present in
 use in the rural districts and install cedar poles instead. The present tim
 bers will be used in the construction
 Of short feeder lines but they will in no instance be used in the main line construction.
 IL is well known fact that the Overland was expected to commence work at this place some time ago but according to MT. Tharpe the reasons for the delay was on account of wish ing to complete the Phoenix system.
 It is understood that the Overland
 company has at present 566 miles of long distance wires with three hun
 dred miles more work surveyed and on which construction will be completed this summer. The lines will reach any 1 county seat in the northern part of the territory and intermediate points.

 Manager
UTAH DIRECTORS
 CONFIDENT OF VICTORY

A number of the stockholders and directors or the Utah Irrigation Ditch company went to Phoenix yesterday to confer with the government officials as to the very best means to pursue to put the matter of selling the canal up to the thirteen stockholders who are holding out against the transfer Of that property To the government. There are one hundred and twenty eight shares held in the company and thirteen uf these shares or rather the holders of thirteen of the shares are against the proposition of selling the canal
 It has been suggested not by any Stockholder of the canal however, that the property could be sold by incOr- porating the company and then mak- ing the bylaws read that a sale could be effected by q two-thirds or q three fourths majority vote of the stock of record. IL will be remembered that the Mesa canal would probably not have been sold for some time to come if the company had not been an in cOrpOrated institution.
 It is well known fact that the Utah canal under the ruling of Judge Kent. at the present time would be running very low and the Utah EXten- sion would practically be q dry ditch if it were not for the generosity of the reclamation officials in allowing the landowners under the two ditches to the privileges of stored water It is not known just how long the gov ernment will continue to give out the stored water if the thirteen shares of stock are not forthcoming within 3 reasona hle length Of time
