made here today by Cyrus n. McCor-

said:
The adverse decision Is a great dis
appointment. As understand It 1t is
not based on actual wrongs done in the
conduct of the business of the Interna-
tiona1 Harvester company. but on the
elimination OF competition more than
10 years ago between the companies

DEATH CLAIMS BRIDE
OF LESS THAN YEAR
Mrs. Walter L. George Passes Away at
Sisters Hospital

Less than one year after she became
a happy bride, and just when the ad-
vent of baby daughter promised in
creased measure of happiness not alone
to her. but to her husband as well,
Mrs. Margaret Winnie George, wife of
Walter l.. George, died at the Sisters
Hospital shortly after eight o'clock last
evening. Until very late Saturday night
there had been no suspicion but that
her condition was entirely satisfactory
and then came a sudden change for
the worse. She was hurried to the hos
pital where for eighteen hours physi-
clans and nurses labored without avail
to save the young life
1t was on Sunday evening, August
81, 1913, that Walter l.. George and
Miss Margaret Winnie Keltner present
ed themselves at the parsonage of the
First Baptist church and presenting d
marriage license requested Rev. ] Har-
vey Deere to unite them in marriage
They had planned to be married on
Monday, September |, and that being a
holiday had secured the license on the
Saturday previous. Word came to them
that friends were preparing to make
things interesting for them and they
decided to thwart these plans The Re-
publican on September l announced
their wedding and the plans of the
friends fell through.
Their short period of married life
was one of happiness. No more loving
couple could have been found The un-
timely end and the girl-wife (she was
just past eighteen years old) falls as a
blow not only upon her husband and
young father, but upon the grandpar-
ents of the little one.
Margaret George was the daughter
| of George R keltner, a we'll known
contractor of this city She was a
charming young woman, amiable and
accomplished. Besides her husband,
she is survived by her father, three
brothers and one sister, The funeral
arrangements had not been made last
evening but will be announced later.

Sewer not extended to part of this
section at time of inspection.
Note: Six privies have been added
since the inspection because sewer
was unavailabl and seventy-four
abated since May l.
The above figures are a compila-

city covering the months of May and
June, and while many other facts
We're noted, the existence of this
large number of privies is the most
important one In the course of our

were spoken to and a fair proportion
of them promised to abate their
privies at once. We have not had

but as far as they have been rein

promises have been kept.
In this connection, it should be
stated that a pfiyy is not considered

declaring privies a nuisance. This lat
ter should prove to be necessary only
with the least intelligent and most sell
fish owners and it is to be hoped that
they will be few in number If such
punitive measures are not adopted, it
can readily be seen that an enormous
waste of time will result and that other
pressing sanitary necessities must be
postponed. The rigid enforcement of
the ordinance without favor will breed
a wholesome respect for it which is
now sadly lacking.
The above should secure the abate-
ment of all privies except those owned
by non-residents and those in strait
ened circumstances. To reach these,
believe it will be necessary for the
commission Off it possesses the power)
to pass an ordinance empowering the
city to abate the privy and make the
necessary connections and charge the
cost to the lot as a tax lien. BY this l

In an effort to make the city of
Phoenix more sanitary as regards
disease and fly-breeding spots, the
city health department is endeavoring
TO find some means of securing as
nearly as possible a complete abate-
ment of all privies and cesspools in
the city. There are few sections
where the sanitary sewer has not
been extended but there are many
properties where connections have
not been made despite the availa-
bility of the sewer
In a recent report to City Manager
w. A. Parish, the city health Of
ficer calls attention to this condi
ton and makes some suggestions.
The report indicates the apparent
necessity of early action.
