VALLEY WATER ASSESSMENT T0
 DR0P T0 S2.10
Material Saving In Operat- ing Expenses Results In Reduction Of 1922 w. U. A. Assessment

The valley water assessment IS to be reduced
 Easing it's estimates upon an actual saving in the expenses of maintenance and operation in the five months from October, 1920, to March 1, 1921, which amounted to s207 900, and figuring that the total saving for the year, based upon the present prices of lapof and material will come to $53S,oo0, the board of governors of the Salt River Valley Water Users association recommended to President F. A Reid yesterday that the assessment for next year be made s2.10 an acre. which in- cludes S1 an acre which must be paia to the government.
 The assessment this year was SSio an acre, so an apparent reduction of S1.65 an acre to the farmer is the result of the recommendations In reality. due to the fact that the payment due the government in 1920-1921 was s20s.000 while that of 1921-1922 will be s406.0oe the actual saving is S2.65 an acre.
 During the five months last year from October to March 1 the cost of operation and maintenance Of the irri- gation system was $357, 900. During the same period this year the cost was $150, GOO. Based upon this saving the estimation of the cost for the year is S450,000, which takes in the extra ex- penses of the irrigation season and this cost for last year was s9sS GOO II there is any reduction in the next few months in the cost of labor and ma terials it is pointed ont that this es- timated saving will be increased.
 Figures Show Economy
 Another indication of the economy that is being practieed lies in the fact that the loss in the operation of the Icamp mess halls last year was s2o.0oD. For the first five months Of this year the loss has been $120. which it is be- llieved will be reduced to nothing Another decision of the board of governors was to recommend to the president that a general reduction in wages, amounting to about 10 per cent be put into effect. This will amount | it is estimated. to a saving of about
 $4000 a month
 l An interesting fact brought out in connection with the business of the Water Users association is the fact ithat despite the unusual conditions ob- | taining in the Salt River valley this lyear, S2S per cent of the farmers oi the valley have paid the first half oi their water assessments while more than 400 farmers have paid their sec 1 ond assessment before it is due ant Ihave added thereby more than s25,oot to the associations income. Last veal at this time the percentage of raneher! lpaying the first assessment was IS. With reference to inquiries concern ling the reoson why no payment to tho lgovernment has been made. 1t is point led out that on May 4, 1920 when F -I A Reid assumed the presidency of thi lassociation there was a deficit in tn Association treasury of s30l,000
 large proportion of this deficit ha
 been wiped out a good sized bank loal
 has been repaid and the association i

One of the characters in an early
day American romance Of the time
when the STAMP act" was causing all
kinds of trouble is recorded as deCar-
ing that New York never would be a
real business city because Broadway
and Maiden Lane were lined with
trees. The Van Nrooms, the Stuyve-
SAINTS, the Artavelts, and other early
settlers of the country saved fine trees
about their homes, on the village
greens, along the country roads. and
in the fields But one will see no
trees nowadays on Broadway, and
Maiden Lane has been transformed
from the pleasant, tree bordered re-
gion of Dutch homes with flower gar
dens into the busiest wholesale jewel
ry district in America, If not in the
world.
Beauty and comfort gave way to the
| inroads of commerce, not only in New
| York but In most of Americas great
| cities, SO that today trees in a bust
ness, street are a rare sight. There
are m-shaded villages in New Eng
land; maple-shaded towns In New
York and the Ohio valley, and there
are Oak-tree streets to be seen In the
southeastern states, but for the most
part this refers only to small towns
or cties-never to the congested CEN
tiers Of population where they should
have been preserved. Washington,
the national capital, is one Of the ex-
ceptions, and even there the paintings
were not always wisely arranged.
The tree growth in the streets of

The bulletin insists that providing

through an unpaid commission of

DO NOT WANT FORD
 TO GET CONTROL OF PLANTS

Washington, July 20.-(Special.)- Big business" senators of the republican party, 1t is understood today, do not look with particular favor on the probability of Henry Ford establishing himself on the banks of the Tennessee river at Muscle Shoals in north Alabama.
 As to whether these senators will try to prevent the plan Of Ford ma - terializing is not known. It is known, however, that some of the corpora tions with which Ford might com pete are preparing to throw what impediments they can in the way.
 MT. Ford is regarded as man who does big things in unconven tional manner and absolutely independent of the commands of the trusts
 If his offer Is accepted, and he de- sires, he could manufacture fertilizer and by retailing it at even less than per cent profit, deprive the fertil- izer and the Chilean trusts of that vast trade territory south of the Mason Dixon line.
 He could manufacture explosives and force the DuPonts out of the south. If he should desire, he could retail electric current and become a serious rival of the Alabama Power company and the other companies doing business in Georgia and the Carolinas.
 In this connection. however, the Alabama Power company and other independent power companies of the south have, according to information from authoritative sources, acted
