lection reservoir. The Hassayampa is subject to contamination from the sewage of the village of Wickenburg above the point of impounding. The Agua Fria has some small communi- ties on it's upper waters and possibly receives some mine wash, although this is not personally known to me to be fact. At al levents, the subsur- face flow of the Verde is subject 10 neither of these objections.
 T would add that the city of New ton, Mass, where I resided for 25 years, is supplied from the under-flow of the Charles river in a manner ex- actly similar to your proposed devel- opment, except that the catchment area is in a densely populated district It is notable for it's purity both as relates to domestic and manufacturing use. and has been a source of great satisfaction to the residents of that city for many years"
 Verde Plan Cheapest
 A fourth and final consideration is that of cost. Here, again, the five engineers concur. Following is the extract on this phase from the report of Engineer Church:
 "In this respect, it is obvious from inspection in conjunction with the distance that the cost will be less or the Verde than that necessary to se- cure a corresponding supply from either of the other two rivers. Nc date is available for an exact com parison, nor is this necessary since the selection is controlled finally by other considerations"
 Regarding the proposed noraml re- quirements, one of the consulting engi neers said, in part:
 Your present population of 30.44 is stated to use at present about 4,000, 900 gallons per day. You are propos ing to serve an ultimate population o 75,000 at a rate of 200 gallons per da, per capita. Your normal maximum vii
 be. therefore, 15,000.000 gallons pel day. The proposed rate of use abov mentioned is certainly far more libera than would be dictated by econom, alone. I understand. however, tha your policy is to allow a generou supply for lawn sprinkling througl l your long, dry season. in order tha your city may be made increasingl attractive to it's citizens and to new corners. I believe this is fundamen | tally a wise policy. In view of tn fact that your supply is practical | unlimited and that the total increas | of cost due to this liberal policy merel ythat of a slightly larger pir line, I can heartily endorse your judg
 ment in this matter and believe it wi
 rebound greatly to the growth an | prosperity of your city"

line above Phoenix.
 One consideration, which blankets all others, he says, is that the city al- ready has clear title to an adequate water supply at that point. A corre- spending title to a supply from either of the other two rivers taken into con- sideration would undoubtedly involve long and costly litigation. The other two sources of supply taken into con- sideration were the Augua Fria and the Hassayampa.
 Water Almost Perfect
 2 A primary governing consideration of the Verde river supply is, of course, the quality of the water. Various analysis of all three waters have been made and show the Verde water to be practically the equal of any water supply in the United States. John c. Sparks of New York, consulting chemist has analysed this water and declares it to be almost perfect for human consumption as well as for commercial purposes. MT. Sparks is a paramount authority on this sub ject ant, until recently, was the official chemist for the board of water. supply for the city of New TIT <az

this point to the city the pipe line fol- lows the section line west to Seventh street, south on Seventh street, enter ing the city limits at Seventh street and Mcdowell road.
 Advantage of Verde Project
 The cost of the Los Angeles aque- duct, however, was more than three times as much, per capita, as would be the cost of the proposed improvement here. In other words, Phoenix can have practically the same kind of a water supply as the city of Los An geles at a cost of less than one third as much to each resident.
 Three principal sources of supply were taken into consideration by the different engineers in their. delibera : tions, and all of them are unanimous in their reports as to the advisability and advantages of the Verde river project.
 No less an authority than William L. Church, consulting engineer of New York city, says that the only practical one is gravity supply taken from the surface flow of the Verde river at point substantially 33 miles by pipe

many other eastern cities.
 The Verde river not only is superior to both the others mentioned as pot able water-and vastly superior to the present supply-but is especially not able for its freedom frQn the sulphates which form the permanent boiler scales, says Engineer Church and Chemist Sparks. The carbonates forming the soft scale are present, but in small quantity and are easily precipitated if necessary. Of chlorides there is neg ligible trace. "In all these respects, do not recall that the Verde water is materially surpassed by any supply within my Knowledge elsewhere throughout the country" says Engineer Church.
 Unlike either of the other proposed sources, the Verde water will require neither sedimentation nor filtration eince it is taken from an underflov 1 through a stratum of open sand anc gravel 21 to 2s feet below the ground surface.

the available quantity. In this respect, the Verde rates above the other two rivers named. said Engineer Church, although exact comparisons are not possible nor, indeed, necessary. In this regard, the repotr of Engineer Church, concurred in by all four other engi- neers, is as follows
 "The fact remains that your test well, drained by six-inch centrifugal pump, together with various borings. has demonstrated a widely extended water-bearing stratu mwith an under flow far in excess of your maximum requirements.
 Since you will draw from ground water and from a constant flow far in excess of hourly consumption. no impounding reservoirs will be required. This will prevent not only extraneous contamination, but the steady, al though slow, concentration of the sol uble impurities by evaporation.
 Both the Hassayampa and the Agua Fria projects are necessarily based on the impounding of the sur face flow of these streams in a col

Intake
 The intake diagram shows the big pipe for a distance of three miles, reaching a depth of 2S feet below the ground surface and twelve feet below the water level at the point of intake where it will connect with deep wells, thus eliminating any possibility of the water supply being contaminated.
 Location of Conduit
 The plan showing the location of the proposed pipe line is a map of the open country between Phoenix and Fort Me- Dowell with the proposed pipe line added.
 The pipe lines follows the west side of the river from the intake to Granite Reef and the north side of the Arizona canal from Granite Reef to the bridge on the Arizona canal known as the Fort McDowell bridge" Here the pipe line crosses to the south side of the canal and takes a southwesterly course, crossing the Indian lateral at Ever green. about 1000 feet south of the Arizona canal.
