BANK DlSCARDS
 PASS BOOK SYSTEM
Mechanical Bookkeeping Enables Local Institution to Glue I'm ProUed SerUice.

ProUed SerDice.
 There will be no more night
 work by bookkeepers, balan-
 ing accounts of customers at
 the Merchants & Stockgrow-
 CTS bank. No longer will
 they have to plough thei1
 way through an avalanche
 of pass books requiring
 balancing at the first of each
 month. By addition of a
 bookkeeping machine to its equipment, the bank is able
 to discard the inconvenience of the pass-book system and to substitute the plan of
 handing neat printed state ments to depositors on the first of each month.
 The same system is now in use in a great many of the big banking institutions of the country. The me- chanical bookkeeper is a Burroughs Adding-Subtract- ing model, which automati- cally solves problems in ad- dition and subtraction and simultaneously prints a neat and complete record of each transaction.
 Annoying delays to GUS toners at the close of each month while their pass books were being balanced arenow eliminated. The machine made statements are always ready on time. Heretofore, if 9. depositor wanted a state ment of his account in the middle of the month, he was compelled to wait while bookkeepers waded through the great mass of figures in the ledger for each day of the month and then com puted his new balance.
 With the Burroughs, de- positors' accounts are kept in balance. Mistakes in figuring are impossible for the machine calculator. Each day the statements are taken from the binder and run through the machine. Checks are listed and sub- deposits listed and and the new balance automatically figured by the machine.
 The Burroughs prin ts dates, adds deposits. sub tracts checks, gives old and new balances and automati- cally detects and records all overdrafts, listing them on the statement with a "OD" sign. Entering of the pro- per amounts into the ma- cnlne Dy the depression or the figure keys on the key board is all that is requir ed of the operator. Mental effort in balancing accounts s entirely done away with.
 The Burroughs machine, which has revolutionized ac- counting and bookkeeping methods all over the world, s now in daily operation at he Merchants 6 Stockgrow- ITS bank.

Municipal Ownership in Mesa

from an article published 1T
 the Phoenix Gazette under
 date of Dec. IT, 1917, relat-
 ing to the municipal affairs
 of Mesa, is republished in the
 News as being of possible
 interest to the people of Hol-
 brook.
 The adjustment of affairs
 subsequent to the purchase
 of gas and electric systems
 for the town of Mesa City
 has been about completed
 by the City Council follow
 ing practically two years of
 painstaking and unremiting
 labor on the part of the town
 administration. As a result,
 Mesa, today, bears the dis
 tinction of being the only municipality in the State of Arizona owning it's own gas, electric, water and sewer systems.
 The town taxes for the ensuing year were fixed by the council at fifty-two cents on the hundred dollars. This is a reduction of thirty-one cents from the rate of last year. T h e assessment values were slightly decreas- ed.
 In addition to a reduction of the taxes of a little more than three-eighths of the amount paid last year, the licenses of the town have been so modified that konly transient and non-taX pay ing institutions will be liable for licenses from now on. This change means a saving of approximately forty-five hundred dollars to the mer- chants of Mesa. Despite the fact that the taxes have been reduced, as stated, for the first time there is includ- ed in the budget an appro- priation of nine hundred dollars for a board of trade which if the people of the town see fit to organize, will result in a further saving of approximately ten dollars per month on each business house in the town. If the business houses of the town do not see 1t fit to take ad- vantage of the appropria- ton, the same will be trans ferred to the general fund for other use.
 For the first time in the history of the town there has been installed an up-to- date, thorough and systema- tic accounting system. An investigation of the system will well repay the citizens, and give them an insight in- to the business-like, econo- mical and efficient system the administration has inaugurated for the future service of the town.
 The items of expense in- in the operation of the town municipality are street improvements, street operation of public utilities, police and police court departments, fire department and admin lstrative department consist ing of clerical, legal and council personnel. It is con- templated that the expense of maintaining the police court and police department twill bo dofrouod h11 +bo H1oc

DRILLING IN VERDE
 ID FIND BED ROCK
 FOR DAM |SSTARTED

The staid silence of the desert. along the survey lines of the Paradise Verde Irrigation District. is being rudely in vaded. Survey parties are moving for ward rapidly. Camp tents gleam out among the greasewood and mesquite. The clatter of tools and the voices Of men blend with the flash of instru ments and the wiswag of signals. A motor truck huns cheerfully back and forth along the line and helps to tell that something is doing
 A party has just left Phoenix for the Loop Diversion Site to begin bed rock drilling there. and soon the steady clank of the drill will echo from the canyon walls. These activities are rousing great deal of interest. and inuuiries are being constantly made regarding the project as to what it is and what it is doing.
 The first organization of the land holders of Paradise and Deer Valleys was effected January :, 1914, when the Paradise Verde Water Users Associa- ton was formed and incorporated un- der the laws of the State of Arizona.
 Under the direction of this associa- ton. shares of water stock were sold to the land owners, engineering services were secured and a preliminary sur vev of the Horseshoe Reservoir the Loop Diversion Dam Site and the en- tire canal system was made. This sur vey, including maps, construction es- inmates and other data, was finished. and in August, 19l7 a committee placed these facts before the Depart ment of the Interior at Washington and asked for permission to construct the reservoir and canal system.
 The department was very favorably impressed by the showing of the sur vev data, and expressed itself as being in hearty sympathy with the plan to reclaim this land and place it in a state of cultivation. In connection with the feasibility of the project. how ever, the department questioned whether the capacity of the Horseshoe reservoir would be sufficient to irri- gate so large a tract of land. The government engineers agreed that there was an abundance of flood water from the Verde to supply the seventy five thousand acres embraced in the
 area, if additional storage capacity could be secured to conserve the heav, floods and tide over occasional dr, years.
 Under the direction of the depart . ment, the association made d prelimi- nary survey of a dam and reservoir site situated few miles below Camp Verde, and known as the Camp Verde site This site has a large storage capacity. with a remarkably low con- struction cost. which makes it a very desirable natural location.
