Another Emergency Bill Has Been Passed and Will Be in Governor Georges Hands the First Thing Monday
THIS CONCERNS
 CITY'S SEWERS
Davis Bill is Finally Passed and Now There is Consid- erable Speculation as to What Will Be Done in the Matter

Governor Hunt yesterday signed the jury bill passed by the legislature, which will enable the courts ali over the state to get busy. His message was not sent to the senate however until that body had adjourned, so no record of it appears in yesterday s legislative proceedings
 Other achievements of the day were the final passage of senate concur rent resolution No. ?, thanking United States senators, by the house; and senate joint resolution l, income tax, by the house, which completes the trail of both these measures through the two bodies.
 Senate bill ,. with its emergency section, the Phoenix sewer bonds bill. also passed the house and is now ready for the governors action. The question now is, will the governor sign it. It is not understood that he has any objection to the bill, but the question of emergency is uppermost and whether the governor can har- moniZe it with the constitution. is the question.
 All day long the curious were lis tening for a report from the special committee appointed by the house to inquire into the "slush fund" rumor which brought Frank BlightOn on the carpet, but none was forthcoming

SEWER ExCAVATORS
 WORK IN BARE TOOTS|ES
Water Struck at Ten Foot Level; Work Progressing Rapidly and
 Wins Commentator.

It may be necessary to introduce boats into the Phoenix sewer work if the excavation crew encounters any more water than they are now wallowing in down on South First avenue
 The trench in this part of town is ten feet in depth and the water is seeping into the trench in such quantity that it requires constant pumping to make the work possible. The men work in their bare tootsies, and in spite of the inconvenience occasioned by the presence of water so close to the surface the long hole is going forward at the rate of a block and half day
 At each lot a section of the vitri- fled pipe is being inserted with the connection already for tapping by the smaller line running into the house. This obviates the necessity of tampering with the pipe at all when the house connections are made.
 Where houses are already built and equipped with bath rooms the con- nection is made at a right angle so that there are TO twists to cause trouble. The work throughout is of the most modern description, and experts who have inspected it de- clare that Phoenix is to have one of the best sewer systems in the eoun- try.
 So far the work has been prose- cuted almost entirely in the out skirts. but it will not be long now before the chug of the excavator is heard in the more populous centers of town.
 The contractors have the big job well in hand. and say that it will be finished within the time limit pre- scribed.

'EhGLAND'S BIG STRIKE

 the Miners Themselves
I4sSociated Press Disbdtch1

LONDON, April 6.-The decision of the miners federation today in order ing the men to resume has brought immense relief to the whole country. The termination of the coal strike will virtually amount to raising a ruinous siege on the nations indus tries. which inflicted financial loss far larger than would have been caused by war with a great power. In Scot land the miners will return to the collieries Monday, but as that day is a holiday in England and Wales, the strikers there will not return until Tuesday. In many mines three or four days will elapse before repairs can be completed. By the end of the week. however. it is expected every colliery will be in full swing.
