S395,0O0 BONDS ARE. SOLD AT PREMIUM ID
 [. H. ROLLINS & SON

Phoenix city bonds of the last is sue totaling s395,0o0 were sold to F.. H. Rollins & Sons for par with ac- crued interest and a premium of s11S.5 50. This was the best of four bids submitted to the city commis- sioners and was accepted by them at a special meeting yesterday after
 noon.
 The next highest bid for the bonds was S97 31 which was offered with conditions which the commissioners considered undesirable. By accept ing the offer of E. H. Rollins & Sons the commissioners estimate they make for the city profit of s10,000 over the amount which would have been realized through the sale of the bonds to any of the other bidders.
 The value of these bonds in the eastern financial markets was brought out at the commission meet ing when the bids were considered. An attack upon the legality of the Rollins bid was made by representa- a- tives of two competing firms. Fol lowing the acceptance of the Rollins bid one representative of com petitor declared he would bring suit to enjoin the city against turning the bonds over to the successful bid | der. Threats of the lawsuit were based upon an alleged discrepancy in ths
 manner in which the Rollins bid wa. submitted. E.. H. Rollins and Son,

BUILDING TRADES RENEW THEIR FAITH
 IN CITY AND VALLEY

Several hundred members of the various building trades took part last evening in group meeting at River side park which had been arranged for the purpose of giving them a clear and correct impression of local business and commercial conditions. Despite the short notice which had been given more than 50 tickets were distributed during the afternoon, and the representation at the park, which had been donated for the occasion by the success of like meetings to fol- low.
 The address of the evening was de- livered by Leo Weaver, secretary of the Builders Exchange, who sum- mariZed present conditions in the Salt River valley and who asked his audience to disregard the rumor- monger and to base his opinion only upon facts.
 Our vision has been clouded," the speaker said, '.by our failure to look
 at things in their true light. We l have tried to continue to live in the l atmosphere of two years ago, when our prosperity was unprecedented, | when fortunes smiles were dazzling, and when we could boast that the | Salt River valley was the finest spot ] in all the world. Now we have come
 out of the nights. but we have re- fused to acknowledge the fact. High prices, inflated values, false prosper I ity, have given way to normalcy. We still have the Salt River valley. We still have the sunshine and the sol I and the water that made this sectior
 of Arizona an empire of wealth 1T
 1919, but we have lost, at least ts
 some extent. our faith in these thing: the very things of which we boast
 ed with such vigor A months ago. "The Salt River valley was nevel
 in as good condition as it is now

telegraphed the city clerk here July 25 stating that they were sending their bid by mail and that the re- quired amount of money had been deposited to the credit of Phoenix at the Phoenix National bank. Three bids were opened by the city com missioners July 26. but none of them was found advantageous. according to the commissioners. and were held over for consideration until yester- day when the bid from Rollins ar rived.
 In defending the action of the city commission in accepting bid which arrived af.er other competing bids had been opened City Attorney Sloan said:
 Where can this be unfair? The ac- cepted bid was in the mails at the time the other bids were opened There was no chance for any repre- sentative of E. H. Rollins and Sons to change the figures after their bid left their hands July 25. Other bids were opened July 26. Suppose there was washout on the railroad ol other accident which would delay mail delivery several days Is there any reason why bid should he dis. qualified if it happens to be delayed in transit a few hours?"
 The bonds sold were: City paving

Word received from Florence yes terday brought the information that throughout Wednesday night and Thursday morning a six-foot head of water was pouring over the diversion dam. A force of men with teams was working all night in fighting the flood of water and in preventing fur ther damage to construction work on the dam.

 Practically no damage had been done by the high water up until Thursday noon. it is stated. but If the rain continues and increases in volume. there undoubtedly will be several thousand dollars worth e damage caused. it is stated.
 All Pinal county is happy over the breaking of the long continued drouth. Three inches of rain has fallen since the rainfall started on July 3. Rain fell all Thursday fore noon as well as throughout much of the two previous days. Cattle feed in the hills is getting plentiful as a result and the stockmen and farmers are consequently elated.

 E. G. Grove, police officer from Phoenix, went to the George home about 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon. At the front door of the house, the officers separated upon a suggestion from Grove that he go to the rear of the house. According to Grove, when he reached the rear he heard the crack of a rifle and saw dimly through the window the form of a man with a rifle at his shoulder. Grove said he fired twice at the form and then went to the front of the house, finding the body of Bowers about IS yards from the house, shot through the heart. George was wounded in the leg by bullet from Crowe's gun and was placed under arrest following the shooting.
 Bowers, who was very popular ir Prescott, was brother of Charles H Bowers, undersheriff of this county.
