 Dr. w. W. Watkins, chairman of the committee on public health, has some matters which he wishes to bring be- fore the executive committee. It is also proposed that there be a further investigation of pool hall conditions.
 It has also been suggested that inas- much as MT. Edison and others believe that the moving picture is soon to play an important part in education, the public schools of Phoenix should be asked to take some step in that di- rection.
 Another important matter is that of playgrounds and public swimming pools, especially at this season of the year.
 It has been found impossible to or ganize a large union choir for the l Sunday evening service at the Y. M c. A. stadium after the first of July when the vacation season is on. The sooner the chorus is arranged, the better, and the federation is consider. ing the holding of big union services l in June.

WATER METER CASE ID SUPREME COURT

The city water meter case which originated two years ago reached the supreme court yesterday in the appeal of the city from the order of the state corporation commission directing the city to deliver water to D. B. Harrer, unmeasured by a meter.
 Early in 1917 the city enacted an ordinance providing for the delivery of water through meters to patrons living ouptside the city limits. Harrer brought. suit against the city asking for writ of mandamus to compel the city to deliver water through the pipes with out a meter.
 The hearing took place before Judge Pattee sitting in this county. The au- thority of the city to enact such an ordinance was fully gone into and the court sustained that authority. The writ was dismissed and the city was given judgment for costs.
 Harrer then took the matter to the corporation commission. The city ob- jected to the jurisdiction of the com mission which, however, held it and is sued the order from which an appeal has been taken.

Commission Instructs City Attorney To Prepare Ord nance Calling Election To Vote Necessary Bonds

The Verde River water system pro- Ject Tor Phoenix came a step closer to realization yesterday in the issuing by the city commission of instructions to the city attorney to prepare an ordi- nance calling an election to vote upon pond issue to finance the water works plan. When drawn, the ordi- nance will be presented to the commis- slon, and if passed, the date for the election will be set. Something like $l,OU0,OO0 will be required for the con- templated project, which must be raised by bonds which in turn must be authorized by the taxpayers at the polls.
 If carried out. the Verde River pro- ject contemplated will provide for the city plentiful supply Of soft water. and will insure an adequate water system for the future for some time. | The project would bring the citys wat CT supply from the Verde River. The plan first came to contemplation two weeks ago when the commission, in considering ways to augment the pres ent water system, already becoming inadequate to the city's needs, took it up as among the most feasible pro posed.
 | Other Routine Business Yesterdays meeting of the commis sion was among the most dull in many weeks, little but routine business being taken up. The city engineer was in structed to draw plans for the inn provement of Third avenue from Fill more to Mckinley streets, in response to a petition from property holders concerned. Plans were also ordered drawn for the improvement of the alley in Block 80.
 City Manager Thompson reported upon bids for various supplies for the city and the fire department, and con- tracts were ordered awarded accord ing to his recommendations The Amer ican Cast Iron Pipe company's bid or iron pipe and fittings was accepted, as was that of the Goodrich Rubber com pany for fire hose, that of Lambert ant Langley for three teams of mules anC that of the Seagrave company for mo- . tor and pump for the Seagrave fire

ASBESTOS PROSPECTS
 BRIGHT IN ARIZONA

A new source of revenue is available for Arizona if sle can produce asbes- tos in sufficient quantities and of the right kind. Conditions brought about by the war are compelling American manufacturers to dispense with out side sources of supply and to exert their efforts toward the development of asbestos property in the United States. There are several properties in Arizona already being worked to a limited extent, but there is room for many more and several large ones.
 The chamber of commerce has been asked to ascertain all possible sources of supply within the state. Anyone who has information of interest to sub init should present same at the earliest moment giving all the data available so that the manufacturers and others who are interested in developing as bestos properties can proceed at the earliest date.

ANSWERS FUR MANY PROBLEMS WORK IF
 CHURCH FEDERATION

The Phoenix Church Federation ex- ecutive committee has work cut out for it in several important questions, and it is proposed to give them careful consideration before the beginning of the summer vacation. Among them is the matter of matron for the county jail, to have charge of the boys and women. It has been proposed that the duties of the matron should be exer- cised in both the county and the city jails. Boys are often confined in the boys cell, which has no furnishings whatever. Hammocks might be pro- vided in lieu of beds-
 The city administration has recom- mended to the federation the appoint ment of one man and two women as additional mem5ers of the movie cen sorship board, and the Parent Teach CTS association has been asked to help in the selection of these members.
 At the last meeting of the fedora tion, Col. J. H. McClintock reported that the grocers and merchants gener-

OF CORONATION
 OF EMPEROR MAMMALIAN

Many and spectacular have been the triumphal entries of conquering g heroes into the ancient City of Mex leo since it was founded six centuries ago, when it was known as Tonoch- titlan, capital of the Aztec Empire When new Emperor was installed in the Palace his accession was eel ebrated by human sacrifices, and other barbarous festivities
 Since then few rulers have achieved power in Mexico without bloody sac rifice to the god of battles Thousands of Anzacs were slain before Coretz raised his banner over the capital and a multitude of Spanish and na- tive troops were killed before Itur- bide's ragged patriot army entered the City of Mexico in 1921 and hauled down the flag of Spain.
 Of all the triumphs in the long history of the City of Mexico, how ever, the entrance of Maximlian and Carlotta into the capital fifty1five years ago tomorrow, June 12, 1864, and their coronation as emperor and empress, was marked by the most re- gal pomp and lavish display. A halo of romance surrounded the Austrian Archduke and the beautiful Belgian princess who was his wife, and their attempt to found an empire in the New World was surrounded with such glamor as to win the allegiance, for time of many of their subjects It was not long. however, until the ideal of liberty, long held but never realized, attained a new birth in the minds of the Mexicans, and turned them against the benevolent despot who had set up q throne in the ven- erable castle of Chepultepec.
 Wild and unrestrained enthusiasm on the part of the populace greeted Maximilian and Carlotta on that 12th day of June In 1864 when they rode into the City of Mexico, surrounded by troops of many nations in brilliant uniforms. French, Austrian, Belgian and black African soldiers marched the young emperor and empress, and their martial music as they marched through elaborateIy decorated streets made it gala occasion such as is dear to the Mexican heart, and led the na- tives temporarily to forget their hat red of the gringo.
 On that night years ago Maxin1il- ian and his bride looked down through the grove of expresses the Aztecs had planted on Chepultepec hill upon a city ablaze with lights and gay with un- restrained revelry and mirth and ap- parent joy. Everything seemed auspi-
 
 reckon with the fckleness of the Mexican mob, and they forgot, also, the liberty-loving minority, led by that great Indian, Benito Jaurez. Out be- yond the Terra Caliento, among the people of the scorching plateaus and mountain fastnesses of the North, the ideal of freedom still lived. In vain butcher Bazaine and his European troops sought to put down the rebel lion, setting up precedents of 'civiliz- ed warfare" for future Mexican lead CTS to follow by butchering in cold blood all the Jaurist prisoners. and even women and children, falling into their bloody hands And it was not long before Maximilian faced a firing squad and his beautiful bride fled to Europe, where her trials caused her to lose her reason and where she lived. hopelessly insane, for half a century after her husband was killed by the bullets of the Mexican rebels.
