FLOOD CONTROL A CIVIC STUDY
Journal-lIiner Capital Bureau)

PHOENIX, April 70. - Cities should refrain from attempting to curb the waterways which pass thru their limits, unless they want to as sume full responsibility for flood damage which may result from the use of the artificial channel This appears to be the moral pointed in Ia supreme court decision just hand ed down in the case of the city of Globe against George E. and Frank w. Shute and Julius A. Pinyan, owners of the Palace garage.
 The garage brought suit in super for court against the city, based on the fact that goods kept in storage were damaged by the flood which ragged down Oak street i'll the sum- mer of 1919. Some time before, it seems, the city had put in a Hume to carry the waters of Mccormick wash. This channel was inadequate. it was alleged, and the city, because it had built the Hume, was respon- sible for the damage. So argued the attorneys for the plaintiffs and so decided the jury which brought in verdict of $1,40O. Immediately the city took an appeal
 In comprehensive opinion, af- firming the action of the lower court in awarding judgment against the city, Judge A. C. Baker cites num- Der of rulings in similar cases, one from the Alabama supreme court reading as follows:
 "A city has no more right to plan or create an unsafe and dangerous condition in one of its public streets than 1t has to plan or create a pub lie nuisance, and it may be added that it has no such right in respect to creation and maintenance of drains and sluices that are insuf- ficient and damaging to abutting property"
 With reference to the Globe case, the opinion says:
 "It appears to be a clear case of lOSiSShl llllSll CllIC WILL Idlul al stream. The drain was too small to carry the water, rubbish, etc, which comes down the wash in the time of freshet, and as a consequence the drain became clogged, water over flowed, aid flooded the premises.
 Clearly the city was guilty of a positive act of wrong doing. It is true the city had d right to build the drain but it had no right to commit what was practically a tres pass upon the plaintiffs premises. A municipality has no greater right than an individual to divert waters of a natural stream by means of an insufficiently constructed drain or other artificial channel and thereby damage the property of abutting owners"

ALFALFA FARMS
 PO|NT WAY TO
 VEAL I \, SAID
Thousands of Acres of Land Sur rounding Prescott Could Be Turned to Agricultural Road to Yavapai Prosperity
(From Thursdays Daily)


 Has Prescott all embryo Imperial valley at its doors without realizing it7
 This is the question brought up here yesterday by discussion of the Hassayampa alfalfa farms and the new Williamson valley farms pro- ject At a time when the two prin- cipal industries of Yavapai county, copper and cattle, are to all immed- lately practical purposes at stand still, Yavapai has rich undeveloped agricultural wealth close at hand, ac- cording to Supervisor w. w. Midg- ley, who returned yesterday from a visit 10 the alfalfa farms.
 Supervisor Midgley said that the s or 40 ranchers who have settled on the farms have turned what was once practically desert into land as productive as any in the Salt River or Imperial valleys. There arc 2,538 acres now under cultivation in this district, and yielding abundant crops, whose quality was clearly demonstrated by the many ribbons won by the Little Chino valley farmers at the N. A. State fair last year. One thousand acres are plant ed to alfalfa. It is stated Upon au- thoritative information that more al- falfa was raised and shipped from the alfalfa farms last year than from the entire Salt River valley.
 Paul Lodge, who is interested in development projects in this county, last night seconded Supervisor Midg- ley's estimate of the alfalfa farms and their commercial value to Pres colt and Yavapai, as did others. Though at present rather quiet, due to the shutdown in Jerome, dairy ing holds prominent place in the activities of the farms.
 However, this is, or should be, but the beginning of large agricultural developments in this county, accord ing to those who are in a position to know. With work under way on the construction of the Williamson val icy farms project damsite, part of the area available for agriculture will be tapped. And it is Supervisor Midgley's belief that enough arabic land extends in the vicinity of this city to provide Prescott with a rich agricultural background which would in time rival the famed Imperial valley.
 With the construction of the Ash Fork-Prcscott highway, to be begun when funds from the county's mil lion and half dollar bond issue is made available, the alfalfa farms will be directly linked with Prescott on a main highway The road will run right through the farms. There arc hundreds of arabic acres adjoining the farms, it is stated. Water is right at hand ill Lake Watson, ill which 5000 acre-feet arc impoundcd. According to Supervisor Midgley, the farms is producing today more alfalfa than was produced ill the Imperial valley twelve years ago.
 Ii is expected that with completion of the Williamson valley farms pro ject an immense stimulus will bel given to agriculture, not only in that valley, but in the Little Chino as well, thus giving Yavapai resources far moro stable than either copper or cattle.
