BIC PROGRAM Of
MPROVEME n 7 s
COMPLET BY
CITY LAST YEAR
1921 Marked BY Extensive
Paving Program, Com
pletion of New Water
System and Number of
Other Civic Enterprises

Never before in history has the
city of Phoenix conducted such an
extensive program OF civic develop
ment as was carried out during the
year just closed. Approximately $S,-
100000 was expended by the city
during the 12-month period OF make
Phoenix a better city in which to
live. This figure is exclusive OF or
dinary operating expense.
Probably the greatest develop
ment of the year was completion of
the Verde water system, a 31-mile
pipe line from the Verde river which
connects with the old water system
of the city.
Other big improvements during
the year were:
Extension of the water system to
additions added to the corporate
limits of the city and enlargement
Of some of the old mains.
Extension Of the sewers to new
additions to the city.
Construction of a new fire station
house and purchase OF two new
pieces of fire apparatus; installation
OF an auxiliary fire alarm system OF
20 reporting boxes.
Purchase OF an automatic police
reporting system, installation work
on which has been started.
Purchase of portion OF University
track for park purposes.
Extension of the city playground
system.
Construction of nearly eight miles
of paving.
Construction of several miles of
concrete sidewalks.
Construction of several miles Of
curbing.
Extension Of the city drainage
system.
Big Paving Program
More than half anil lion dollars
was expended on paving work alone,
exact figures. as announced by the
city engineers office, being $685.,
1862. This was by far the largest
years work ever undertaken by the
city. The previous high mark was
in 1920, when paving expenditures
totaled s44S.OO0 Prior to that, the

tended TO because the chemical ele-
ments of tho water used have caused
damage. No longer viii housewives
have to include sums for water soft
'eners in their budgets. No longer will
the water leave sediment I'm boilers.
Not only that, but the purer Verde
water will mean longer life for house
hold linen and clothing.
And, OF course, the new water is
more attractive to outsiders, making
one more advantage the pure, soft
water of the Verde has given Phoenix.

rivers course across Mcdowell reser-
walton to the intake junction.
Six miles before the line reaches
the intake the workmen had to blast
a mile of road and path for the pipe
through almost solid rock, where pro-
gress was slow and arduous. A small
crew OF Indian workers were six
months onthis single mile, forcing the
road through and making place for
the big line just above 1t.
The original design for the new
system included a storage reservoir
and that feature is still retained;
but on account of the rising prices
OF materials after the work was un-
dertaken, the installation OF that was
postponed as something not imme-
diately necessary, though with the
growth of the city II will become
necessary. Even then it would be
required only as an emergency meas
ure, but emergencies are covered
by the holding in readiness of the
present pumping plant as it is else
where explained.
Reservoir Site
The city has purchased fifteen
acres along Thomas road as site
for this 100000 gallon reservoir
which will take care of the peak load
during the middle of the day when
consumption reaches its greatest rate
here. With the combined flow from
the intake and the reservoir it is pos
sible to sustain a supply of water at
the rate of 25,000,000 gallons a day or
about 1850 gallons a minute. To
support this increased head the red
wood line from the reservoir to the
city mains is 3S inches in diameter,
two inches more than that of the re-
mainder of the line from the reservoir
to the intake site. The reservoir site
Is about seven and half miles from
Phoenix and has an eleyation OF 15O
feet over the city's elevation.
With the completion and operation
OF the new Verde gravity water sys-
tenn, the old city system will be re-
tanned as an emergency plant, though
it is improbable any emergency will
arise which will require its use. There
are two electric pumps which could be
put into use at moments notice,
and a few minutes would see the
steam plant with it's two puraping
units also at work. The maintenance
OF the old plant will entail but little
expense, as it is on city property,
which would have TO be retained any
way for storage purposes and as the
location of one of the fire department
units.
Sentimentally, it is only fitting that
the old plant be retained, for it has
given faithful service for more than
40 years. The plant at Ninth and
Polk streets was established in 1887,
and operated under private ownership
until purchased by the city for $780,
600 in 1907. Frequent additions to the
plant and its equipment enabled il to
go on supplying the city with water
through the decades the population
multiplied in size, until II finally
reached it's capacity and was replaced
with a better system to meet future
demands.
Saves Many Bills
BY no means least among the many
advantages of the new Verde system
is the grea- saving which will be ef-
fected residents by the greatly SUI
perior quality of the water. No long
er will citizens have to pay plumbing
bills because of the corrosive action
OF the water. No longer will motor

AUDITOR WAITS
FOR AUTHORITY
To REFUND TAX
Will Not Repay Bachelors Until
County Attorney Defines
Procedure.

County Attorney ". J. Tighe has
been asked by County Auditor F. c.
Roosevelt to render an opinion as to
what procedure should be followed In
refunding payments of the bachelor
tax, which has been declared unconsh-
tutional by the state supreme court.
Attorney General Wellington D. Ran
kin recently ruled that payments must
be refunded as consequence of the
supreme court decision.
$500 Collected
Deputy County Auditor John Cook
said Tuesday that four bachelors had
presented claims for refunds, but that
the claims will not be acted upon until
the authority of the auditors office
has been defined by Mr.. Tighe. The
total of bachelor tax payments. accord
ing to County Treasurer Fred c. An
dretta. amounts to approximately $500.
representing payments OF 800 single
men.
The board of county commissioners
Tuesday instructed County Assessor
Harold Mady to levy the usual poor
tax of 50 this year. No action has been
taken in regard TO the assessment of
the annual road tax of 81, which was
held by the supreme court to be I'M
constitutional The supreme court de
cision, it is said, holds that the board
of commissioners has authority to levy
the poor tax. but does not make it
clear to county officials that the same
authority is operative in regard to the
road tax,

Ben C. Johnston, chairman of the
board of county commissioners. said the
board would take no action on the road

LOWER VALUES
ON SOME LAND
SAYS ASSESSOR
Uniform Schedule Will Bring
Portions of County Lower
Than Last Year.

Land values in Cascade county. for
assessment purposes, will not be as
high this year as in 1921, County AS
SCISSOR Harold NJ. Mady said Tuesday.
Mr. .Mady said he did not cont emplate
a general reduction in valuations.
Land in some sections of the county
will be assessed on virtually the same
basis as last year. while in other parts
the land values will be materially re-
duced. The drouth area which was de-
termined last year by Assessor Mady
after personally covering 10 townships
in the northern part of the county. is
one of the districts in line for sub
stantial reduction.
WickIand Will Help
Assessors of the central Montana
counties will be assisted this year in
arriving at a fair average of land val
ues by Charles e. Wickland, chief field
assistant to the state board of equaliza-
tion. according to Assessor Mady. Mr..
Wickland is practical farmer and is
rated as Il competent judge of land
The plans for securing uniform stand
ard of land valuation for all counties
having physical and climatic similarity
will be advanced by Mr.. Wickland by
personal inspection and the assessors
have pledged themselves to accept his
estimated of land values in preference
to their own, Assessor Mady declared.
Some Are Good Fellows
When land values of the various
counties were considered Saturday by
the assessors at the recent Lewlstown
meeting. it was found that values were
low in some counties and high in others.
according to Mr. Mady. 1t was forci-
bly, brought to the attention Of the
conference that some assessors had
established low land values to make
good fellows of themselves and to
strengthen their position politically.
The inspection of lands by Mr.. Wick
land will correct this variance in val
ues. Mr. Mady said. and eventually will
make it possible to establish a COM
paratively uniform standard for OBJ
servance by every assessor in the
state.
