 City Manager Parish has gone on record for the improvement by the present city administration of Van Bu- ren district by the elimination of the town ditch within the city limits
 prominent citizen said:
 The ditch. as it now exists is un- sanitary to say the least. and is dang erous to life. expensive to maintain and would hardly be tolerated in any com munity pretending to be modern. wide awake city. In it's present condition it has prevented the extension of paving and interference with the opening of streets. Its abandonment and the con- structiGn Of laterals to carry the water from the Grand or Maricopa canal. is the plan of the United States reclama- tion service.
 The handling of this matter pre- sents no difficult engineering problem. and this meeting is called for the pur- pose of considering the best and most practical way of eliminating the canal in the city of Phoenix"
