JONES NAMED BOARD
(Continued From Page One)

already the associations man. and es- teemed as such, more valuable than in the job q few tried to give him. These things, the fact that the Yuma project has finally concluded not to accept the plan of Secretary Lane for reviewing and revising downward, if necessary, developments in yesterdays prelmin- aries to the big Fl Paso central meet ing today and tomorrow. It developed in this wise The first motion on record, was to approve the report of the special con- mittee, recommending Jones, and to ap- point Jones forthwith.
 This was amended by Motion of AL ma Davis to read that the joint meeting approved the report of the special con- mittee recommending Jones, and that 1t appoint Elliott forthwith. This was obviously an inconsistent treatment of d grave matter and after a long argument, in which MT. Davis asked the meeting to resolve itself in- to a committee of the whole, then for a recess and finally for caucus. it was brought to d vote on the amend ment which was defeated, 24 to ,. by d vote in which there was the follow ing lineup:
 Board: For - North and Dobson; against, Wilkinson Johnson. Hansen, Casey, Rockwell. Greenshaw, Bennitt, Clemens and Orme.
 Council: For-Graham, Davis and Tweedy: against - Waltsr, Patch, Kuchler Greenhaw, Kay Hilbers, Reed, Jack, Townsend. Irwin, Tweed, Murphy, Miller. Creighton, J. H. Dobson and TWay.
 On the original motion, the vote was even more op-sided, for Graham, North and Dobson switched to Jones, making the vote 2 to in favor of the Dallas man.
 The one result of the division was to give MT. Elliott some unpleasant prom thence The overwhelming vote for Jones was due partly to the fact the | meeting-or most of it-knew him to be unquestionably the best man for it, l and partly because the members want ed Elliott to remain as project engineer l and a sort of adviser to the represen tatives rather than the representative himself
 Jones Signs Up Engineer Jones arrived in Phoenix at noon, and within few minutes had signed the contract enlisting flor the war" His stipend is $7,500, and for this sum. he not only furnishes his own services, but those of civil en- gineer to help him go over the work and his own office force, in making up reports, copying and compiling the 1 volumnous data regarding feature | costs.
 Want None or 1t l Frank w. Hanna, who has not vet l disassociated his supervising engineers 1 personality from his new one-govern- ment representative on the Salt River 1 Valley cost review board-iearned by wire yesterday that the Yuma water users, meeting with President Thacker | had agreed not to accept the plan of Sec. Lane to fix the project costs. Al though it pointed out that they had nothing to lose. and possibly consid- erable to gain, they refused to en- dorse the plan.
 one result of this will be that there will be only three projects in the group | representing the southern part Of the southern reclamation district These will be Carlsbad and Rio Grande in | New Mexica and Salt River Valley in Arizona. Six men, therefore will meet
 in Fl Paso today to nominate three men. whom Sec. Lane will consider in selecting the third member, who shall be common to all three boards, unless the request of the salt River project for
 Its Own Third Member
 goes through with the secretary of the Interior.
 Believing that the work on the Salt River project will be heavier than on the other two put together, the joint meeting has asked Sec. Lane to con- slider naming one third member" ex- clusively for this project. This will be discussed in Fl Paso today at the central Ieeting Of all the review board members and referred to the secretary with the meetings opinion.
