Phoenix disposed of her greatest bond issue at decided advantage yesterday when the city commission, after two hours of discussion, accepted the joint bid of Powell. Gerard and company, of Chicago, and Sweet, Causey, Foster and company, of Denver for the entire bond issue of s1,SOO,000, the proceeds of which will be used to construct the Verde water system for the city. The successful bid was at par, with a dis count of S20,O00 for expenses to the purchasers, and carries an optional serial redemption agreement that will mean a tremendous saving to the city.
 Only three bids were received by the commission at the beginning of it's meeting yesterday morning, after the rejection of all six bids Friday on the ground of legal Irregularities under

Arizona laws. All three bids were made by bidders of the previous day, hay ing been revised to remove the ob jectionable points. The two unsuc- cessful bids were made by the Valley Bank, and by the Central Bank and the Central Finance corporation, jointly.
 City Saves Money
 Allowing for the discount, the city received approximately 9S% cents on the dollar under the accepted bid. The most favorable feature of the bid, how ever and one that will save Phoenix a great deal of money in the end, is the fact that it provides that the city can at option redeem the bonds on the installment plan, beginning the first year.
 Under the law, an amount equal to one -thirtieth of the value of the bonds must be raised each year to provide for their redemption when they reach ma turity after 30 days. This money goes into the city sinking fund, which draws per cent interest.
 By the successful bid, the city may pay this money directly on the bonds each year. Inasmuch as the bonds cal LOi U PCl SChl lllICl CSlt Dy lHlS pldL lIlt city saves the equivalent of 1 per cent interest on it's bond money. By the time the 30 years are up and the last of the bonds retired, the plan will have saved Phoenix approximately $15o,o00
 Officials Pleased One of the bids rejected yesterday carried a discount of only betweer $S,000 and $9,000, but it's seeming ad. vantage was more than offset by tht tremendous saving carried by the sue. cessful bid.

 While negotiations have been going on for the asle of the Verde water bonds, the preliminary work on Phoe- nix's big new water system has been going on rapidly, and now that the bonds are well disposed of, it will go on faster than ever. The new system will bring more than sufficient quan- titles of pure Verde river water to the system by gravity, and is expected to be in operation early in 1921.

OUR AIR POLICY 'UNTHINkABLE' (Richard Washburn Child Golfers

Weekly.)
 Upon one thing the British are firm. They saw the inefficiency resulting from scattering the control of aviation among various departments of gov ernment. They saw the unsatisfactory muddle when the royal flying corps of the army and the royal navy avi- ation section were trying separately and some times at cross purposes to develop power in the air. The British have seen the efficiency of centralized control in the air ministry. They want it to continue in peace. They think the development of civil flying de- bends on it. So 1t does.
 The good sense, the proved experi- ence, the wisdom and foresight of this fact are so plain that 1t gives an Amer ican in London a shudder when he Ereads al dispatch from Washington which. Instead of conveying the news that Congress or the executive under his Extraordinary war powers had
