Little Opposition

An organization of taxpayers, busi- ness men and others interested in see ing the bonds were favorably voted on was the only body in the field either for or against the proposition. It was rumored yesterday afternoon. however, that several local men were at the polls working against the bonds and re- questing the voters to put a cross after the no" on the ballot
 City Manager Thompson stated last night that according to his own esti- mate the new water system would be installed and in operation on or about January 1, 1921.
 It will be the middle of September before the bonds will be for sale, as the law requires that the city commission meet and canvass the ballots on the first Monday after the twelfth day after election. which will be the 11th of August. It will then be necessary 70 advertise the bonds for sale a period of thirty days.
 The money derived from the great bend issue voted at the polls yesterday will be used in the construction of what is known as the Verde Phoenix gravity water system, a system that will bring the pure. soft water of the Verde River to the homes and busi- ness palces of Phoenix The supply will have it's origin on the Verde River 35 miles northeast of the city. where elaborate intakes will draw the water from the water filled sands alongside the river. A pipe line will then bring the water, by gravity, to a reservoir to be constructed some six miles from the city. and then on into the city mains.
 4 new survey will be started at once of the definite location of the pipe line. | This work will be carried on by the city engineers office under the super vision of the city manager
 Wells will be put down at the point ct intake shortly to determine how ex- tensive an intake will be necessary
 The advantages to come from the new big water system have been emu merated so many times every reading 1 person in the city knows them The supply will be adequate, however. for a city of 100000 people, and will in sure fresh soft water that will be in ferior to none. The new water will help eliminate doctor and plumbing bills alike, it has been agreed, will lower fire insurance rates by aiding adequate fire protection, and will be an added induce ment for business concerns to bring their plants here.
