POLICE CHIEFS ID
 ASK LEGISLATION

In the hopes of arriving at some so- lution of the problem confronting the chiefs of police of various Arizona towns and cities. where the duties of the office require not only those ordi-
 narily required of a peace officer, but
 the collection of taxes and license fees. etc, several chiefs and marshals from
 every section of Arizona will meet to-
 day in this city. II is planned to draft
 proposed measure to be submitted at the forthcoming session of the legisla ture. which would provide the relief sought.
 It is pointed out by those interested
 that where q chief of police is required l to give his attention to the collection Of
 taxes and to the issuance of licenses | aug the collection of the usual fees. his 1 time is so occupied that he cannot be
 expected to give efficient service as a peace officer. Many towns and cities of Arizona, under their charters com | bine the two offices.
 Among others already here to attend 1 the meeting today are Chiefs Dunham. of Winslow. Burns of Williams and | Plnyan, of Globe, with others arriving ] early today in time for the gathering.

The quantity to which the base rate applies varies from Ia K. w. H. for q fiveroom residence to 22 K. w. II. for an eight room residence, and an additional 2 K. w. II. for each room in excess of eight rooms.
 The new rate proposes to establish the base rate at cents per xilowatt hour applying to 20 K. w. H. regard less of the size of the residence served, and with a secondary rate of 6 cents applying to consumption in ex- cess of 20 kilowatt hours.
 The company also proposes to place into effect q rate schedule for business lighting as follows:

 It is not proposed to suspend the present rates, but make the proposed schedule an alternative rate at the option of the consumer. At present the rate for business lighting in Phoe- nix depends upon the consumers con- nected load as well as upon his monthly consumption of electricity The new rate eliminates the demand feature and. applied to some classes of con sumption, would result in smaller monthly bill than would be the case under the present rate, while in others the bills would be greater than at present.

 There is reason for believing that primitive men occupied California and other parts of the west during at least the latter part of the period when the fauna Of the asphalt pits still flour ished.

 The discovery in these pits Of the bones of a gigantic vulturelike bird of prey of far greater size tEan the con dor Is even more startling. since the folklore of the EskImos and IiNians of most of the tribes from Boring Straits to California and the Rocky Mountain region dbount in tales of the thunder O!rd-a gigantic bird of prey like q mighty eagle, capable of carry ing away people in it's taloons.
