know that the historic Georgetown
Leesburg turnpike is being resur-
faced. 1t won't be many months be-
fore this heretofore impossible link
between Washington and the valley
of Virginia will be open for traffic.
Just exactly what this means is
realized in its fullest extent by
those who live along this old worn
out turnpike, and those few ven
turesome spirits who have driven
their motors over its SCARED and
rugged surface and through the
deeply rutted dirt roads along
either side of it. The people who
live in its neighborhoOd feel we'll
repaid for their inconvenience by
tho fact that they have been able to
live within the influence of the
wonderfully picturesque surround

possible to describe these in brief
way, each one demanding a much
wider review than may be here at
tempted in merely general way.

Havre de Grace, located on the
Susquchanna River, nea. its
junction with Chesapeake Bay,
a competitor for the seat OF gov

the early days Of the Republic,
was selected as the tour on which

Read These Statements Deserving of Consideration of Every Phoenix Voter
TO THE CITIZENS OF PHOENIX:


 Having no political axe to grind, but having only the interest and welfare of the City of Phoenix at heart deem my duty to make the following state ment:
 want it understood that assume my full meas ure of responsibility for the action taken by the City Commission in the matter of the Verde Gravity Water Supply. I am certain that any fair-mnded citizen with knowledge of the facts, will approve that action
 After weeks of investigation personally reached the conclusion that the adoption of plans calling for the use of seasoned redwood pipe not only the best thing to do but the only thing that could be done if Phoenix is to enjoy the inestimabe benefits of ample supply of pure water within reason able time.
 Every engineer employed by the city in connec- ton with the Verde project has approved the use of redwood pipe. William H. Church. Consulting En- gneer of New York City, who made the preliminary reports; Hiram Phillips, Consulting Engineer of St. Louis Missouri, and L. B. Hitchcock City Engineer, have all recommended it's large number of inquiries made of users of wood pipe in various parts of the country Not one unfavorable reply received-on the contrary, a reading of these re- plies should convince anyone that the experience gained by these of redwood pipe all in favor of it's use.
 Whatever adverse criticism there may be upon the action of the Commission is either based upon transformation or is positively malicious and person al in origin.
 In my deliberate judgment the best and highest interests of Phoenix will be served by the election of Mr. Punkett Mayor and by the reelection of Messrs. Irvine and Barnett as Commissioners.

STATEMENT
 OF CITY MANAGER

During the present campaign for the election of a mayor and two com missioners, every method has been employed to persuade the voters that graft and mismanagement exists in city affairs. These efforts are the work of disgruntled politicians in an endeavor to discredit the admins tratiOn.
 I have been city manager for the past two years, and wish to say en- phatically that there has been no graft of any kind in connection with the administration of city affairs.
 A part of my time and effort has been given towards assisting in se- curing an adequate supply of pure soft water for Phoenix, and the city is assured this boon when the Verde River project is complete. There has been no graft of any kind connected with plans for the Verde system, either in the purchase of the redwood pipe or otherwise, and there will be none. Investigate the fellow who prates of graft and mismanagement.i in city affairs, and you will find him to be a dissatisfied politician or a paid poison-distributer

TO THE CITIZENS OF PHOENIX:

1 am convinced that the installation of the red wood pipe line for conveying water from the Verde river to the city of Phoenix will prove satisfactory n every respect
 The citizens and taxpayers of Phoenix should un- derstand thoroughly that the installation of the red wood pipe is not experiment: the lasting quality of redwood pipe has been proven by it's many years of service in other localities. cite for consdera- ton few of the old redwood lines of which have, knowledge.
 wish to state that after careful, panstaking in- vestigation most heartily approve every action heretofore taken by the honorable city commission of Phoenix in connection with the Verde river line. The engineering plans and specifications com plete the redwood pipe will meet all requirements of the proposed line and in my judgment the tract price of the pipe is very fair.
