 pr. Dennett, the first speaker, brought out that the valley compared most favorably with any part of the country in regard to the low propor- ton of mbercular cows, and em- phasized the great market for dairy products within easy reach. Both he and Mir Webster also brought out that prices paid by local creameries for dairy COW products were as high as in other states.
 Urges Diversified Farming
 MT. Webster in his talk urged diver sified farming for the valley, and said that with the assistance of banks and perhaps outside capital the output or dairy products might be increased 30 percent within a year. in his opinion. He strongly favored having a few cows on every ranch. and of having smaller farms. and emphasized that the cows must be good ones.
 Following the two speeches Webb Griffin and others joined in pointing out the necessity of getting the dairy COW back into the valley. with dairy cows and cotton combined on ranches.
 The three resolutions adopted were proposed by J. r. Tracy. One of them, the following, advocates that the city abolish the office of city assessor and tax collector:
 Resolved. that the Maricopa county real estate board request the city com mission to abolish the office of city assessor and tax collector, and have said assessing and collecting done by the county treasurer of Maricopa county Phoenix is now the only city 1 ln Maricopa county which collects its own taxes. Having two places to pay taxes is the cause of a great many dis qutes in the transfer of property. is a great nuisance, and accomplishes nc good; and be it further
 "Resolved, that a copy of this reso- lution be sent to each of the city com mission and city manager" For Uniform Laws
 Another resolution urged that eacl lot or parcel of real estate be as sessed on line bY itself, while thu third was as follows:
 Resolved. by the Maricopa count' real estate board that we go on recor' as endorsing any action taken. or to b' taken. by the state entomologist in re gard to uniform laws with ad1oininl state governing the fumigation O quarantine of plants. shrubs or tree imported into the state.'
