whack the price up about ten per

Then there is another thing-the
town ditch. 1t will have to be moved.
The question is, where will the money
come from. Suppose the taxpayers
who are affected should build con-
crete syphon under Van Buren, street.
That would take no some of the &C.

employment to the men Judge Lewis
says are out of work.
storm sewers will be an absolute
necessity if paving is to continue. 1t
will cost from 100000 to 100000 to
build an adequate system. For this,

Paul Edwin Fuller of Mesa followed

j peal to the merchants Of Phoenix To
aid in starting the Phoenix Portland
cement mill. The valley has agri-
culture and nearby is mining, and the
only great fundamental industry tina.
