Coored People 95 Per Gent Honest Says White Merchan
Pure Water Will
Add More Business
To This Community

That sufficient supply of pure
fresh water will be a wonderful asset
/ 10 the city Of Phoenix in obtaining
new industries, is the opinion Of City
Manager Thompson.
In commenting this week on the
/ proposed new water system, upon
which the taxpayers of the city will
have an opportunity to place the
stamp of their approval the 26th Of
this month, the city manager called
attention to the fact that one of the
reasons for the Goodyear people locat-
ing gigantic factory in Los Angeles
was that it was possible to secure an
adequate supply of fresh water
AT the time it was decided to locate
the plant in Los Angeles, one of the
heads of the company had the follow
ing to say anent the companys rea-
sons for picking that city: when we
came to survey the coast, as we did
for six weeks with skilled men, we
found that Los Angeles gave us the
cheapest fuel on the coast We found
that Los Angeles had the cheapest
power on the Pacific coast where used
i'll large quantities. We found that
Los Angeles had the only supply of
fresh wafer sufficient for our needs. ."
The city manager is confident that
if the matter is properly brought be-
fore the taxpayers of the city, the
bonds will be approved by an over
whelming majority The fact that it
is impossible for manufacturing
plant to operate here without having
its boilers overhauled or replaced ev.
cry year is a serious handicap to the
expansion of the city. He believes
that with this deterrent influence al
leyiated. it will be but a question of
short time when industries will be
turning their eyes towards Phoenix.
In the question of the present ex.
pense to which the people of Phoenix
are subjected in purchasing water
softeners, the manager is of the opin-
ion that not tons. but literally car.
loads of rainwater crystals and other
softeners are used here each year
The actual cost to the people of Phoe-
nix for these commodities can be reck-
oned in thousands.
Officials who are interested in see
ing Phoenix going ahead and being
prepared in case outside Industries do
turn their eyes to Phoenix. are of the
opinion that if the cost of water soft
eners. the annual plumbers bills, the
excess fire insurance premiums. and
the cost of maintaining an outgrown
waterworks were added together, to-
gether with the cost of the city's con
stant fight to keep its water mains in
repair, the total would far exceed any
taxpayers share of the interest on
the bonds
The pamphlet which has been is
sued by the city commission for the
edification of the taxpayers regarding
the proposed new water system has
widely circulated about the city. The
pamphlets are not for the use of the
taxpayers only. but anyone interested
may secure copy by calling at the
city hall.
