 MUNICIPAL WATER SYSTEM
 Instal He'd recently by the Town of Nogales includes the most modern and effective machinery manufac- tured for supplying water to towns and cities anywhere in the world, which is projected and planned to serve population much larger than that embraced now in the line city, and built upon faith that 1 long before the present installation will require renewal the town will 1 have attained size which will rend- : CT inadequate the present new sys. ten, and one much larger and more extensive can be constructed. The source of supply is the Santa Cruz river, at a. point about five miles '. distant, in. northeasterly direc- ton, where there is secured an !. abundant and inexhaustible sup ply of pure soft water.
 In July, 1911, there was called an election of taxpayers to determine whether the town should vote a |; bond issue of $120,000 to construct J. municipal water system, and the It proposition carried by tremen- = dous majority. The Nogales Water Company was operating system supplying both towns under fran. chses granted by the separate mu- nicipalities, and that part of it in Nogales, Arizona, was purchased from the proceeds of the sale of the bonds, the price being $60,000 With the money remaining there was installed at the Santa Cruz river the fine pumping plant de- scribed in the following lines, anc ten-inch pipe 25,000 feet in
 length, connecting the station a the river with the old system in town. The we'll at the river was the first and most

would consider our work a failure.
We have advocatedwhat we thought
was right and whether you have
agreed or disagreed with us, we be-
lieve you have been honest with
yourself and have done what you
thought was right.
So long as we are editor of the

Boosting Monroe City and with il

To the Editor of Democrat:
Will you kindly spare me room

to the automobile owners2
| would suggest that the owners
of automobiles in Monroe City or
ganize themselves into a club and
get each member to agree to hitch
his automobile to a road drag and
put in from one to three days drag
eing the various roads around
Monroe City.
1t has been found that an auto,
mobile can be used to excellent ef-
feet with a light road drag, and if
the farmers see them doing this il
will remove much prejudice against
! the automobile in the country dis
tricts, Respectfully,
