 IF WALTER DOUGLAS IN QUEBEC TUESDAY

Mrs. Naomi Douglas, mother of Walter and James s. Douglas, and widow of the late Dr. James s. Doug las, died Tuesday at Spuyten Duyvil, New York, according to word re- ceived this week.
 Mrs. Douglas health had been fail ing rapidly for the last six months, and word of her death had been al most momentarily expected. Mrs. Douglas was S4 years of age. Funeral services were held in Quebec.
 Mrs. Douglas health began to fail in 1918 after the death of Dr. James S. Douglas. Many times after her husbands death she is said to have expressed the wish that she might be called to rest beside him.
 Mrs Douglas was the daughter of MT and Mrs. Walter Douglas, of Glasgow, Scotland, and she and Dr. Douglas were malFied in Scotland in 1860. Four of the seven sons and daughters born to Dr. and Mrs. Doug las are living. They are James S., of Douglas; Walter, of New York; Elizabeth who was with her mother when death came, and Mrs. Archibald Douglas, of New York City.
 While Mrs. Douglas name was Douglas before her marriage, the two families were not related, nor had the family of Archibald Douglas, whom one of her daughters married, any lineal connection with the fam fly of pr. James s. Douglas.

NATURALIZATION OF COLO. RIVER WATER
 POWER OPPOSED

Representatives of sundry mining companies of Arizona opposes the proposed standardization of the Colo rado River water-Storage and hydro electric development and propose that the state finance the project. accord ing to a writer in the Engineering and Mining Journal-Press of New York. The necessary funds might be secured by means of state bond issucs with low interest charges, these is sues backed by Arizona power con sumers. It happens that these power consumers mainly would be mining corporations, which now are paying anywhere from $50 to $50 per horse power per year. Up to 100000 hp. lt
 is thought that profit could be se- cured at $25 per hp. year. Up to
 500,000 hp. the cost might start Sf
 $15 and from there up to S00.000 hpL
 at SIP. At such cost, the belief Is
 expressed that electric current profit ably might be used for the reduction
 of ores and in metal manufactures. as
 well as in ordinary mechanical and
 manufacturing industries. There is no intention, however. of confining the benefits to Arizona; power users
 in California or other states might join the power users association 1t is. proposed to create an association that would market the bonds, do the engineering, provide and market the
 power and pay the costs, including
 interest, until the enterprise should
 become productive. It is assumed
 that under this plan the state even tually would be paid out and would
 have the water power works as a con ! tinuing asset of tremendous value
 Those advocating the plan be- lieve that the Lees Ferry dam site.
 now claimed the Edison Co. has fea- i lures superior to those of the Boulder 1 Canyon dam site. which is favored ! by the Reclamation Service They i estimate that at least 6.000.0OO hp-
 can be secured within the Grand Can
 yon, though the process of its de- velopment would be gradual as neces- ] sity arose for generation of power

Copper Era and on August 14th the Board will meet for the final adop- tion of. the budget at which time taxpayers of the county will be af- forded the opportunity to appear in favor of or in opposition to the sev- eral items contained therein.
 With reduced valuations of prop erty in the county and a material re- duction in the budget next year, it is reasonable to predict that the ac- tual amount of money paid for taxes will be less this year than it was last

on Monday afternoon the Executive Committee held a meeting in the Treasurer's office and agreed to present recommendations to the Board regarding the salaries for precinct officers over the period of the ncxS two years beginning January 1, 1925. Appearing before the Board E.. Ii. Green, President of the Taxpayers Association, acted as spokesman
 MT. Green stressed the point that owing to local conditions in the dis trict that it behooved the Board to retrench in expenditures wherever found possible and that in the opinion of the committee, representing the Taxpayers, the salaries of the sev, eral Justices of the Peace, and in some instances the salaries of Con stables also, should be reduced over the period of the next two years
 On behalf of the Committee MT Green presented the following pro posal of salaries for the considera tiOn of the BOard.

RETURN FROM FISHING TRIP

The copper era and Morenci leader., 1922-07-07

In explanation of the figures pre- sented the committee stated that the salary of the Constable at Mo renci and Metcalf was fixed the same as at present for the reason that it was believed necessary that Morenci should have two officers on duty as at present, constable and a deputy sheriff, and that Metcalf only had one peace officer.
 The salary of constable in Clifton was fixed at ten dollars per month in the belief that no such officer at the county seat was required. Like wise the salary of constable at Dun can was proposed at $25.00 per month on the ground that the Dun can precinct now has a deputy sheriff and constable, whereas one officer would be, entirely sufficient.
 Chairman A. c. Stanton, being ab- sent at the meeting on Monday, the matter of fixing the salaries was postponed temporarily awaiting his return when final action will be taken.
 Member Floyd Hightower agreed that only one peace officer was re quired in the Duncan precinct but argued that this officer should be the constable elected by the people of that precinct and should receive sufficient salary to justify him in devoting all of his time to the office.
 Both members Hightower and An derson agreed with the Committee that some reductions could be made in the several precincts which no doubt will be done before the budget is published.

With the final assessment of the producing mines and continuous groups thereto in this county, an'. the assessment placed upon railroaGa by the State Tax Commission, it is apparent that the total assessed valuation of Greenlee county, for the year 1922, will be approximately $31,- 75O,000 as compared with the asses sed valuation for the year 1921 of $35, ,000,000O0, a decrease during the past year of $3,25O,000.00.
 The assessed valuation of the pro- ducing mines and continuous groups of the Phelps Dodge Corporation for this year is $16,345, ,439.00 as com pared with $17,609, ,559.00: for 1921 decrease of $1,264, 220 under last year.
 The railroad assessment also shows decrease for the year of $3S3,- S56.00 as follows:
 1922 1921 Coronado
 Railroad -1O9, 9,S54OO 5 122,O6o.00 A.&NMRy $1,S47, ,25000 $2,052, ,50O.O0 Morenci
 Southern. s 164ssso.oo' 5 ss1,sSO.OO TOTALS. s2,122Os4.OO $2,5O5,94O.OO
 The decrease on the mines and railroads assessment is S1,64S, ,076 .00 and the remainder of the decrease is accounted for by a reduced valua- tion on merchandise stocks, cattle, and town improvements in Clifton. Morenci and Metcalf.
 In contrast to the reduction in the assessed valuation of county prop erty, however, is the statement by Clerk of the Board, A. L. Terry, that the budget for county expenses, for all purposes for the fiscal year be- ginning July 1, 1922, will be approxi- mately $120,0O0.00 less than was levied for the year 1921-22. This ma terial reduction is accounted for in ! a reduction in the road fund and 1 school funds for the ensuing year. I The itemized budget as proposed i by the Board of Supervisors will be published in the next issue of The T . 2 D
