The Tempe highway, from the city limits to the concrete pavement, will be paved this summer. The gap which is three miles in length and has the distinction of being one of the worst bits of 'bad road" in the county, will be built by the state highway department.
 Bids will be opened at the state highway department on August 6. The bids will call for the usual IS feet width of state highways and six-inch thickness.
 While the pavement of the Tempe road was included in the Maricopa county highway program the work is to be paid for out of the second bond issue. In order that the much used road may be paved at an earlier date. arrangements were made by the state and county whereby the federal aid received for paving the Buckeye road and small amount of the 75 per cent road fund of Maricopa county might be applied to the Tempe road and the Glendale highway. The cul- verts and preliminary work now are under way in the Glendale road. the contract of which was awarded to Dan La Roe.

are now employed on the intake. MT. Hitchcock said. A night shift is at work, and to show the coolness of the Verde water the city engineer pointed out the fact that the men working at night wear hip boots to keep the water from reaching their skin. 1t is too cold for them, though during the day the men are able to work in it {.
 The Verde water system will bring into the city daily a supply of water sufficient for a city of 100000. The water is soft and pure, much like that of mountain springs. Moreover. there is no danger of the supply running short.
 Water for Phoenix is not taken from the Verde river itself. however, but from the water bearing sands below the bed of the stream. on the Fort Mcdowell Indian reservation The water is received into the intake galleries and from there passes into the great conduit which carries it the 30 miles into town. The system is expected to prove one of the best in the west--or anywhere else, for that matter.
