CAN'T EQUIP PHOENIX CEMENT PLANT FOR
 LESS THAN s534,000

If the cement plant of the Phoenix Portland Cement company be bought and reequipped as a 1000 barrel plant by the Water Users Association, 1t will cost $534.00os New and complete plants of 500 and 1000 barrels can be built and equipped for s4l3,000 and $5g6, ,090 respectively. The cost of operation would be s2.2S on a 300 bar rel basis and s2.01 on a 1000 barrel basis. The limestone quarry on the Arizona Eastern line between Winkle man and Christmas is the best avail able source of supply for limestone, and the shale beds of the F. P. c. com- pany, one and one half miles from the plant, is the best source of available shale supply.
 The board of governors of the water users association. acting yesterday af ternoon on the above report by J. Y. Jewett expert employed by it to in vestigate all phases of the county highway commissions proposal that the association buy the cement plant at Portland Siding and engage in the manufacture and sale of cement, re ferred the report to the council with the request that it reconsider it's fav- erable action of some weeks ago.
 This favorable action consisted in a recommendation to the board of gov ernors that special election of the share holders be called to amend the constitution and engage in the manu- facture of cement for sale, and fur ther recommendation that the asso- citation buy and remodel the plant at Portland Siding for a sum of not to exceed s150,000
 All expenditures of S100,000 or over must be voted by the are-holders at special election.
 Since $534.000 will be necessary. in stead of s100,000, in the light of MT. Jewett's report. to purchase the plant, new action by the council will be nec- essary This action can not be taken before the next meeting of the coun- ci1. September 2, and in the meantime the whole proposition will hang fire.
 Entire confidence is reposed in MT Jewett's ability as a chemist and en- gineer by the board of governors. For some time he was connected with the United States Shipping Board at Sar Diego He has spent two weeks in the valley, Investigating source of mater ials and inspecting the P. P. c. com pany's plant at Portland Siding, and two weeks in Los Angeles getting prices on cement plant machinery.

 The situation will doubtless be changed if the postoffice here is noti- fled to use the first zone rate of one cent per pound, as was indicated few nights ago in a dispatch from Wash l ington, but not word has been re- 1 ceived.
 However. there is hope yet for the chamber of commerce late yesterday. having been informed of the matter, sent a wire query to the postmaster general asking, in effect, why this rate had not been applied to Phoenix. in a way implying the question as to why this city should be discriminated against if the rest of the country gets i this rate.

 Must Have Enough Orders
 1t was generlilv agreed at the con- ference that the cost of freight, and distribution. would amount to 30 per cent a0oed to the price of the food as publshed in the Sunday Republican. Thus the prospective buyer can add 9 pe- cent to the price on the items de- sired, and arrive at what they will cost delivered by the city.
 IT after figgIng Ip the cost in this manner, enough householGeTs are con vinced that there will be a sufficient saving for them to order, then the city will get the goods and deliver them. It is also to be distinctly understood, ac- eording to the city officials, that enough orders must be received to make it possible to arlcr in carload lots to save freight.
