PLAYGROUND |S
 PLAN IF C|TY
One Thousand Dollars Appor- toned in Budget Establish ment of Municipal Playground for Prescott
CFrom saturdav,s Dai1v1


 A municipal playground for Pres colt kids.
 A playground completely equipped with apparatus such as is found in the bigger playgrounds of cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco.
 That is the objective envisaged by City Manager John H. Robinson, who hopes to secure authorization for a modest start in the right direction. The playground would include chutes and other apparatus, court or courts for hand-bal1, volleyball, basketball and tennis, a baseball diamond, football field and a wad- ing pool. All this for old and young.
 A start has been made with the inclusion in the city budget of $1,000 for municipal playground. It is planned by the city to start sub scriptions to help carry on the work and bring the playground project to completion. A similar subscription would be made next year, with in clusion of another $1,000 in the next budget, work would be carried on, and-bang! There is your play ground.

TAG
 DAY SUGGESTED
Revival of Move to Raise Funds of the City Play ground May Be Made
From Sundays DailY)

Possibility of holding a "tag-day" in Prescott for raising of funds to assist the city in its proposal to es- tablish municipal playground, was suggested to this paper yesterday by those interested in a previous tag day plan through the chamber of commerce.
 Shortly before the holding of the Way Out West show here in May a proposal for the establishment of a city park was brought before the chamber of commerce, and was given support through the appointment of committee to plan for tag-day in which Prescott school children would assist the project through sale of tags to citizens. Among those bring ing the matter to the attention of the chamber was John H. Robinson, city manager, who is among enthusiastic supporters of the municipal play ground. Robinson was named on committee with Richard Lamson, Joe Morgan, Prof S. H. Martin, city school superintendent, and Dr. R. J. Roper.
 The project was interrupted thru arrival of the Way Out West show and its big program for reduction of the Frontier day deficit. Sugges- tions were made yesterday that it be revived in behalf of the municipal It is intimated that the matter will again be taken up at the chamber of commerce meeting this week.

YAVAPAI AGAIN
 FOURTH PLACE,
 FUR VALUATION
Raising of Maricopa Valuation by State Equalization Board, and Yavapai Reduction, Puts
 This County in Fourth Place
(From Saturdays DailyD

Yavapai county is once more in fourth place for assessed valuation of Arizona counties. This became known yesterday following making public of the revised figures of the county budget as corrected by the state board of equalization.
 According to the revised budget, Yavapai's total assessed valuation for the fiscal year 1921-1922 is $122, ,36O,- 178.59, while that of Maricopa county, which occupied fourth place before revision of the budgets, is now ap- proximately $129,OO0,OOO
 Reduced by the Maricopa board of equalization by about 25 per cent, the MaricoDa budget was raised again by the state equalization board Chief among revisions were raising of valu- ations on irrigated land by 1215 per cent, city and town lots by 121a per cent, and sheep and cattle by laying of flat rates of $25 per head for cattle and $5 per head for sheep. Thus Maricopa again occupied third place and Yavapai fourth among the counties, as regards total assessed valuation.

state is large and is working a detri- ment to Arizona cattle and sheep in- dustries and that the price of live stock on foot has declined approxi- mately 60 per cent within the past 12 months. To correct this situa- ton, it asks that corresponding re- duction in the retail price of meat be demanded by the consumer, and that Arizona live stock producers, all things being equal, be given pref erence, that the industry may be helped and money kept in circulation within the state.
 It was pointed out by M. B. Hazel tine, who is largely interested in the live stock industry in Arizona, in answer to suggestions that producers might combat the situation by es- tablishment of their own retail meat shops, that the suggestion had been considered by the wool and cattle growers associations, and had been voted down in committee, as likely to work a hardship against capital already invested in the packing house and meat retailing business in the state.

SEEK CONTINUATION
 OF SEDONA ROAD TO
 FLAGSTAFF MARKET
Verde Valley Ranchers Will Try In duce Coconino Supervisors to
 Continue Road to North
(From Saturdays Daily)

Efforts to bring about construc- ton by Coconino county of the Se- dona-Flagstaff road from the Yava- pal county line to Flagstaff will be made by farmers of the Verde val ley, 1t was decided at meetings held throughout the valley this week. Construction of the road will be sought for the affording Of market ing advantages to the farmers, and for the opening up to the motoring public of a larger number of Ari- zona's scenic attractions, such as the Oak Creek gorge and the Montezuma castle and wells.
 The marketing problem is one that has occupied the attention of the valley farmers considerably. With large production of fruit and vegc- tables, they find that the Prescott market is full, and that they must dispose of their product elsewhere. Accordingly, efforts will be made to find markets in other Arizona towns, not necessarily entirely inc the north. To this end, an attempt will be made to induce the Coconino board of su- pervisors to join up with the Scdona road.

 But the so-called fighting over power, the governor said, adding that he spoke officially and advised ly, was mighty good thing. Great quantities of publicity are being gained; people all over the nation are being led to talk and think about the Colorado basin; money is being spent by the claimants in conjunc- tion with the U. s. geological survey, to ascertain the engineering data that must be accumulated in great quanti- ty and detail, before a shovel can be stuck in the ground The strife, if 1t might be so termed, serves to stir up the forces that ultimately will be directed to the equitable apportion- ment of the various rights and the development of every asset.

FARM BUREAU
 GROWTH SEEN
 IN MEL I GS
tFrom Saturdays Daily)

OlOWtl III pOpuldllty OI llC, OOuI- ty Farm Bureau idea among ranch CTS and stockmen of the county, was marked this week by large attend ance at a series of meetings held through the Verde valley by repre- sentatives of the Yavapai Farm Blu reau, accompanied by C. U. Pickrell, county agricultural agent, and D. A.. Gilchrist, of the biological survey.
 Chief among topics discussed at the meetings, which interspersed visits to farms all over the valley, were marketing problems and road work. The main incentive for the trip, however, as explained by Coun- ty Agent Pickrell was simply an ex- tensive get-together between the bu- reau and the farmers.
 Marketing is demanding consid- erable attention from the farmers, who find themselves with large crops on hand, and flooded markets in Prescott. They plan to seek markets elsewhere, i'll the north and other parts of the state.
 A meeting on Wednesday at Cot tonwood following visit to Oak Creek brought many farmers, among them members of the Cottonwood local of the bureau, of which w. D. Bates is president and Walter Jor- dan secretary. Thursday the party, piloted by Will Jordan, proceeded down the valley, visiting farms on the way, bringing farm bureau news and getting acquainted. Among other things, representatives of the Chino valley section made arrangements for handling for home consumption some of the surplus fruit of the Verde growers. Orchards in the Chino are still young.
 Through the untiring efforts of Nicholas A. Vyne, of Camp Verde, editor of the Camp Verde News weekly, an excellent meeting was held at the Vyne opera house in Camp Verde. Significant at the meet ing was the large number of stock men present, who appreciated the fact that the bureau is organized for them as well as the farmers. The bureau, Agent Pickrell stated yester- day, embraces all branches of agri culture It would be hard, he said, to separate the interests of the farm CTS and the .stockmen. Many of the stockmen attending recently became members of the bureau
 Marketing was also an important topic at the Camp Verde meeting. The project of seeking completion to Flagstaff of the Sedona road met with instant approval.
 A talk on the recent activities of the farm bureau, both national and state, was given by L. L. Bates, president of the county organization. C. U. Pickrell explained the work of the county agricultural agent and his relation to the bureau. D. A. Gil christ, of the biological survey, ex- plained how his pest extermination work would become more far-reach- ing through this wcll-organized coun ty farm bureau.
 Expression of pleasure at the fer tility of the Verde valley and at the high type of citizens he found there, was expressed by Dr. Henderson, plant pathologist, of the Brigham Young university, Provo, Utah. John Bianconi of the Prescott farm local, discussed methods of packing and grading fruit and produce for the market. Methods of cooperative were discussed by MT. Rogers, of the Chino valley.

LAND IN PINE CREST IN DEAL
 TO R. ?. WILLIS
Ten Acres for Universal Tours
 Company in Chamber of Com merce Agreement Looking To- ward Pine Crest Imrovement

In return for installing electric light wiring and underground piping for water and sewage, on a tract of IS and a fraction acres of land in Pine Crest, the Universal Tours com pany of Kansas will receive title to the land from the chamber of com merce. This was decided at last nights meeting of the chamber, when an agreement to be entered in to by the chamber of commerce and R. P..Willis of the Universal Tours company, was read by Z. O. Brown, for the special committee appointed to handle the matter.
 The deal was reached as Q move to bring about permanent establish ment here of the tent city conducted by the Tours company, and to pro- vide light, water and sewerage facili- ties for adjacent land owned by the chamber of commerce, which will have right in perpetuity to connect with the piping and wiring installed by Willis. Deed to the land will be placed in escrow, and will be de- livered to the company upon com pletion of its part of the bargain, on or before January 1, 1923.
 The agreement provides that the Tours company shall install the wir ing and piping at its own cost and expense, connecting with Prescott electric light, water and sewer sys- tems, within one year from date for light and water, and two years from date for sewerage.
 In event the Tours company fails to comply with the provisions Of the agreement title to the land will remain in possession of the chamber of commerce.
 It was pointed out at the meeting last night that upon conclusion of the deal, the chamber of commerce will remain possessor of IS available acres of land in Pine Crest, including five acres involved in a camp site agreement with the Tours company, which will be directly benefited by installation of the facilities named. This land, Chairman Harry Heap of the special committee pointed out, can be surveyed and placed on the market with suitable restrictions, as part of one of the most attractive residence sections of the city. Its value, he said, would easily be $200 an acre. He moved that the report of the committee be adopted and that the committee be discharged. The motion was seconded by M. B. Haz- eltine, and carried. The agreement will be placed in escrow.
 A vote of thanks for the Pine Crest committee was carried by the chamber in appreciation of its work on the Pine Crest land.
 Those present at last nights meet ing were Dr. C. E. Yount, president, Harry Heap, M B. Hazeltine, J. C. Gilmore, w. A. Drake, Z. o. Brown, Ben Rybon, J. P. O'Dell, Milton Up- degraff and J. Stahler.
