Yuma is about to come into her own.

Yuma is about to come into her own.
 Work has progressed so far the Mesa that is certain actual construction work the Mesa will begin at early date.
 Engineer l. C. Marzel who was placed in charge of the actual physical survey of the Mesa after Project Manager Schlecht reached Yuma detailed early this month to go all over the Southern California orange ton and make personal investigation of all the various pumping plants of that secton In the meantime manu- lecturers of the various types of pumping plants n vled submit prices their machines and other steps taken tighten the ens early sale of the Yuma Mesa lands.
 Engineer Marzel must have struck something pretty good over in the California orange country for response to a message from him Project Manager Schecht left Thursday night confer with him and to make personal inspection of the plants that have attracted Mar gels attention Just before leaving Yuma he frankly told the object of his trip and such glorious that this issue of the ARIZONA SENTINEL will be in the hands of its readers day ahead of the usual time For the good keep. It that practically all the preliminary work has been done that all estimates except the of pumping plants have been completed which in that the date of the sale of the Yuma Mesa lands will soon be announced
 The actual survey completed the last week in June Since that Engineer Marze and his corps of assistants
 ave worked day and night in order figure out all the details Project Manager Schecht in addition to watching the evees like hawk, has been interested in watching the progress made in the final summing up of the various schemes for rrigating the When he not up down the river helping keep the water from breaking the levees he closeted with the Mesa engineers It is say that the project manager considers the mesa the greatest asset that the roect could possibly have He regards the scheme of retaining those ar desert lands wholly within the bounds of and he has the ambition to the work begun the actual construction of the canals and pipe lines at the very earliest possible moment
 If the of Yuma give Sanguinetti and Ewing the right connect their plant with the Sierra High Power Line the problem of getting the necessary electro energy to the pumps for the Mesa lands solved for they agree allow the Government all the power they need at EXACTLY WHAT IT COSTS THEM while the big He highbnder of Los Angeles demands at least DOUBLE.
 It therefore douby important to the people of Yuma that they vote YES the SangunetttEwng ordinance Mo- the ballot Cast your vote FOR this ordinance and you will soon see the Mesa blossom like the spring time. It the Government the expense of erecting half million dollar powr plant It gives the Mesa electric power at So if you want Yuma jump into the meght and then grow by leaps and bounds FOR the Sanguinetti-Ewing ordinance Yumas dream will then have come true.
 The adoption of that measure does double good-t helps the Mesa and breaks the back of the big HE high binder.
