! by these plans the exact amount of ex-
cavatiOn or fill in each block, as well
as in the cross sections.
As a matter of fact, in order to
bring the business section of the city to

the system of drainage as above out

blocks shown by the attached plans,
about 5000 cubic yards OF excavation.

gestons which | believe will materially
facilitate the work of construction and
lessen its cost:
That side line monuments be placed
on the northeast corner of all iEtersec-
tons, five feet out from property line
giving line and elevation. within the
district TO be improved and before con-
structiOn is commenced
That specifications be carefully gone
over and added to, with regard to re-
quirements on construction. also that
they cover satisfactorily the plans sub
mitted in order to avoid as much fric-
ton as possible with the contractor.
That an office or room be fitted up
fOr testing Of materials used in the
work together with a cabinet for the
filing of all city plats and drawings
which are essential with the initiation
Of this class of work
The assessment sheet which is issued
on the completion and acceptance of
the work which includes all incidentals
and an equal apportionment of the
costs will necessitate a detailed ac-
counting of the same which must be !
by the city as the representa- !
tive of the people.

bidding.

THE DRAINAGE REPORT.

Phoenix. Ariz., April "a, 1911.
Mr.. Eugene Hackett. chairman of the
Executive committee Phoenix Paving
association.
Ny Dear Sir: The undersigned.
having examined the attached plat and
cross section Of drainage cutters for
the city of Phoenix report as follows:
All cutters as outlined on the at
tached plat. laid accurately to a grade
of 1S-1O0 of a foot to 100 feet, without
an error in grade exceeding LOO of a
foot, will give adequate and Satisfac-
tory service at all stages, land when
the water flowing in said cutters is less
than one half inch in depth there will
be some evaporation, but no difficulty
will be expert need if street crossings
and cutters are kept sufficiently clean
and free from obstruction: We there
fore believe the plan as outlined on the
enclosed plat to be thoroughly practical
and desirable and recommend its adop-
ton by your committee, as we are con-
WINGED that a storm drain pipe "a inch
es In diamater with a grade Of 29-100
feet per 100 feet, connecting with this
system of cutters at Second avenue as
outlined. is of ample capacity to prep
erly carry off storm water from this
drainage area.
With a system of paving such as
proposed it is or course absolutely es-
sential that all cutters and drains be
kept clean by the city.

FOR LATER EXTENSION.

April -, 1911
Mr.. Eugene Hackett, chairman of EX-
ecutive committee, of the Phoenix
Paving association,
Dear Sir: experimenting our re-
port of April gath, we beg to state
that the grade and drainage plans out
lined in that report are of such char
acter as TO thoroughly harmonic with
the extension of paving and street
drainage throughout this city.
Respectfully submitted.
O. A TURNEY,
JAS. +. CORNWALL.
It is only necessary to add that the
drainage system spoken of refers to
taking care of the surface water and at
the proper places emptying it into the
sewer. The streets will all be drained
east and west so there will be TO street
crossings from north to south to bother
with and the water will be run into a
series of catchment basins on Second
avenue where the streets cross it. These
are all shown in the plans which also
indicate the grades of every street in
the proposed paving district, their pres
ent surface or crown and the eXcava-
ton that will be necessary in the pro-
posed work.

BURGLARY
Business Spreading

That this fs the way the police m the
field also size up the situation IL proved
by the following statement in the Eastern

at Is a fact Of common knowledge
among the police authorities and detec-
tive agencies that, during times Of de-
preston. burgiaries of al kinds increase
greatly. Banks especially are the object
of attack when these periods come
around Crooks Of al kinds seem at
these times to be forced into rougher
paths Of their work. and consequently an
become strong-arm artists.
There has been q considerable Increase
IN bank burglaT1es during the past year,
and some of the most skilled detectives
whose work IL cast along these lines say
that these crooks have organised than
selves into gangs VINO have an under
standing among themselves as to the ter
rttory to be worked"
In this connection. It Is interesting to
note that the secretary OF the Illinois
BankerS Association has been East seek
ing support for a plan to have all the
banking associations unite IA Offering a
