SPRING SENTENCED TOMORROW

Georgery Hendricks Spring lost his
look of sang frcid before the conclu-
sion the latter part of last week
of his trial for rape, of which the
victim was his 16-year-old step-daugh-
ter, who died several months ago af-
ter giving birth to daughter.
Principal witnesses against the for
mer railroad section foreman were his
step-sons, J. N. and Henry Hayes, and
Mary o. Hays, DR.. M. G. Fronske,
and j. S. Garner, the latter section
foreman at Chandler.
1t took the jury five whole minutes
to arrive at unanimous verdict of
guilt. Spring claimed and it was tes'
titled that the dead girl said while
on her death-bed that she was married
in New Mexico to the man she said
was the father of her child, but the
testimony showed that she and Spring
occupied the same room and bed for
soll.e time prior to the birth of the
child. Attorney Frank M. Gold gave
notice of appeal. Judge ]. E. Jones
will sentence Spring tomorrow.

COUNCIL TO RECOMMEND $35O,OOO
BOND ISSUE--INCREASE IN WEALTH
AND SALES MAKE TAX COST SMALL

amount to be raised by taxation.
Set over against that the fact that
because we didn't have enough stor-
age room we lost over $1,000 in wa
ter sales in 1921; an amount that
would come near paying years in
terest on the proposed new bonds. II
we should have another such drought
next year or the year after, without
increased water-storage facilities. our
loss from sales would be more than
enough to pay years interest on the
bonds.
Allowing for normal growth in pop
ulatiOn and taxable valuation and for
normal increase in the use of water,
it cannot be conceived how our addi-
tFon tax because of the issuance of
$35O,00O water bonds could possibly
amount to more than $2.75 on $1,000
in any single year, and the chances
are greatly against it's amounting to
that much. Probably $3.50 as a max
imum would be nearer right.
Bnt, apart from all that, the impor-
tant thing is that we are standing
still, and will continue to stand still,
without further growth or develop
ment, until we provide more water.
We are bigger now than in 1921, and
are using normally great deal more
water than then, but the drought that
year seriously curtailed our use of
water. Another drought like it would
do Flagstaff more harm in a single
season that could be repaired in ten
years.
Alarmist talk? All right! Suppose
the mills had to shut down next year,
and you had no water in the new city
park lake, none for gardens or lawns,
none to wash the streets, none for fire
protection, not enough for liberality
with visiting tourists?
That would be fine advertising for
Flagstaff!
1t can very very easily come to that.
We have been lucky for the last year
or so, despite our improvidence. But
not so awful lucky; because even with
the tremendous amount of snow in the
mountains, there is no way ON earth,
with our present storage facilities, to
have all the water we need for next
winter. And, meanwhile, the city san
itary ordinance cannot be enforced,
because it would not be safe to re-
quire installation of toilets and con-
nection with the sewer and thereby
increase the use of the water that can
not be spared.

NORMAL PUBLISHES
EXTRA FINE NUMBER
OF PINE THIS WEEK

What very likely is the largest sim
gle edition of a school paper ever
published came from The Suns press
this week. 1t is the faculty number
of The Pine, the paper published un-
der the direction Of the student body
of the Northern Arizona Normal
school.
This number contains 20 pages, each
page having four columns, each 16
inches long. In other words it con-
tains about the same amount of mat
ter as 10 pages of The Sun.
There is wealth of things inter
esting and instructive in this num-
Der. Most of the material was writ
ten by members of the faculty and
covers a wide range of thought.
Taking signed articles in the order
in which they appear, the authors
all faculty members-are: President

City council has practically decided
to recommend that the bond issue for
the projected new 50,000,000 gallon
city reservoir and improvements to
the gathering system up at the
springs and the distribution system
here in town, shall be for $3.50, 900.
The eastern attorneys advise that
Flagstaff may legally issue $395,000
for that purpose, but council will ask
for $4,000 less than that amount.
There seems to be some lack of un-
derstanding as to the extent of the
influence of the proposed bond issue
on our taxes. Here are the facts and
figures:
1t is likely the bond issue will be of
20-40 year bonds. That is, they will
not finally be paid until 40 years from
now. We will actually begin paying
them 20 years from now.
Interest, of course, will begin as
soon as the bonds are sold. The in
terest will be $21, ZOO a year.
Our water department is right now
paying off our present water bonds
at the rate of $4,000 year, and in
terest. Yet the department is making
a net profit above these payments and
all operation expense of more than
$4,000 a year. The present bonds
will be paid in 1928, when, even with
out allowing for any increase in gross
revenue to the department by reason
of increased consumption of water, the
profits of the department will begin
to be more than $4,000 year.
Our present profit, then, is $4,000
a year. Our interest on the new
bonds will be $1,000 a year. This
leaves $11, 900 to be made up from di-
rect taxation, toward the interest. Our
present valuation is $3,628,73 To
make up the interest payment will re-
quire a tax of $3.03 on each $1,000.
But in 1928, when we get through
paying principal and interest on our
present bond issue, and our net water
profits amount to $4,000 year,
leaving only $4,000 difference to be
made up from taxes toward the new
bond interest, the rate will be only
$166 on each $1,000.
There is no good reason, if we are
not to begin paying off the bonds for
twenty years from date of issue, why
we should begin creating a sinking
fund earlier than 10 years from now.
Assuming that we do begin 10 years.
from now, it would give us 80 years in
which to pay off the bonds. That

ing to dig up any of our own hard
earned dough.
Yeah, but look here. Here's a let
ter from State Engineer Goodman,
under date March IA, which is more
than a week later than the letter
above from Mr.. Long, and Mr.. Good
man says to the supervisors:
II am today in receipt of letter
from District Engineer E. S. Wheeler
of the u. S. bureau of public roads,
dated March 13, in which he encloses
copy of letter from District Forester
Pooler, stating that they do not feel
justified in recommending acceptance
of your offer of $4,000 cooperation
on the Flagstaff Angel road, and it
is probable that the forest funds will
be placed upon the FOSSIL Creek
Strawberry project (Gila and Yavapai
countless
'The new appropriation for forest
roads has been made, and when con-
ference is held between the govern
ment officials and the state engineer,
/ shall continue to exert every influ-
ence and effort towards securing some
consideration for Coconino county for
pd1 llC1pdt1Ou III t1ilS oFflVpAA6VAOii.
State Engineer Goodman and Dis
trict Forest Engineer Long realize
that Coconino county contributes the
biggest revenue to the forest funds
and needs road help more than any
other county in the state and want
to see justice done, while the engineer
for the bureau of public roads is set
on giving the money that rightfully
belongs to US to other counties.
According to a letter just received
by T. A. Riordan of Flagstaff, presi-
dent of the chamber of commerce and
member of the county highway COM
mission, under the agricultural ap-
preparation act just passed and the
appointments made by the U. S. de-
partment of agriculture, Arizona win
receive $217,759 from the forest high
way fund and $138,346 from the for
est development fund, all to be APP
piled to roads within the national for

MERCER HEMPERLY'S CASE
AGAINST SHERIFF PUT OFF

Attorney Mercer Hemperly's suit
against Sheriff VIM. A. Campbell for
$4,000 damages was to have been
tried in superior court this term, but
Judge A. S. Gibbons of st. Johns,
who came here to preside in the trial,
granted plaintiff stay of 20 days in
which to file an amended complaint.
Attorney Hemperly, who used to be
located in Flagstaff, but is now in
Phoenix, was arrested in Williams last
year and lodged in county jail in Flag
staff charged with violation of the
liquor laws. He was released on bond
and at his trial was acquitted. The
booze was alleged to have been found
in an automobile which had been hired
by Hemperly. When it was found,
Hemperly and his companions were in
a restaurant, eating. Judge Boiling
-er of Kingnan, who presided during
Hemperly's trial here, ruled that every
mans car is his castle and, no matter
if the car is standing in a highway
or street, it cannot be searched with
out a search warrant.
Following Hemperly's acquittal he
filed suit against the sheriff for dam
ages alleged to have been sustained
to his business, dignity, peace of mind,
and so forth.
But when the damage suit came up
for trial the other day, Attorney C.
B. Wilson, for Sheriff Campbell, call
ed attention to Hemperly's complaint
leaving out the fact that he had been
tried and acquitted, which omission
Hemperly acknowledged, Judge Glib
bons then allowing him 20 days in
which to file an amended complaint.

FLAGSTAFF ELKS BUY
MANSION HOUSE AND
WILL BUILD ADDITION
: Flagstaff Elks at last have a home

Flagstaff Elks at last have home
The boys have been longing for and
planning for a club home for years.
BY virtue of authority vested by the
lodge in the trustees and the agree
ment made on Tuesday between the
! latter and representatives of c. j.
Babbitt, the Elks have become owners
of the Mansion house, and the deed
will be signed within a few days.
The lodge paid $4,000 for the
property, the lots belonging to the
Elks at Aspen avenue and Beaver
street being part of the purchase
price. The furnishings go with the
building.
The handsome, well-built Mansion
house is too well known to Flagstaff
people to need much description. OF
stone and brick, with beautiful
grounds and big stone fence surround
ing them, conveniently located, with
three stories and basement, it is adj
mirably adapted to easy conversion
into ideal club rooms. Possession
will be had in about so days, it is un-
derstood, Tom Bolger and George
Connolly, who have it leased as a
boarding and rooming house, wanting
that much time to make other ar
rangements.
The building committee was author
lied by the lodge on Tuesday night to
at once prepare plans for a big lodge
room and dance hall to be erected at
the rear of the Mansion house and
connected with that building. This will
likely not be smaller than 40x80 feet,
one story high, with the bottoms of
the windows nine or ten feet above
the ground. 1t is understood arrange
ments have been made to finance the
building of this addition.
When all the plans have been car
ried out the local Elks lodge will have
one of the handsomest club homes
owned by "a lodge of its size any
where in the country. In the Mansion
house there will be billiard, reading
and other general rooms, bath rooms,
etc., as well as accommodation for a
score or so permanent roomers, while
the lodge and ante rooms will be in
the part yet to be built.
The building committee is: Joe P.
Wilson, Captain j. B. Wright, Dan
L. Hogan. The finance committee is:
Loren w. Cress, chairman; Walter L.
Lindblom, w. D. Draine, Henry l.
Albers, j. D. Jackson.

would make our payments on princi'
pal $11,667 year. That amount
would require a tax of 1921 on each
81 900.
Therefore, up to 1928 our additional
taxes to take care of water-bond in
terest would be $3.03 per $1,000;
from 1928 to 1888 only $1.66 pei
81 900, and from 1884, when the
accretion of a sinking fund would be-
gin, to 1864, when the last of the
bonds will be paid off, for both prin-
cipal and interest, only $4.87 pei
81 900.
Remember, $4.87 per $1,000 would
be our highest tax rate in any one
year.
And, remember this, all of the above
figures are based ON our present tax
valuatI0n-withOut allowing for any
increase-in spite of the fact that our
tax valuation increased 1914 per cent in
the last ten years-and also that they
are based ON our present sale of water
and revenue therefr0m, although in
the last four years our sale of water
has increased 25 per cent year or
approximately 25,000,000 gallons a
year.
City council believes we have a
right to figure on an increase in tax
able wealth of "a per cent during the
next ten years-as compared with our
increase of 191 per cent in the last
ten. If we do increase "a per cent, or
to $4,844,000, the very highest tax
rate because of the new bonds will be
$3.65 on each $1,000, and during the
next ten years will be less than half
that much.
If we should increase in taxable
wealth as much in the next ten years
as in the last ten, then our taxable
valuation would be $10,559,O0O, and
our highest water tax $1.65 per ST.
900, and during the next ten years less
than rs cents.
While we probably will not increase
in taxable wealth anywhere near as
fast during the next ten years as dur
ing the last ten, it is practically a
sure thing that we ~ill increase az
least 81 per cent. On top of that,
having plenty of water, coupled with
enforcement of the sanitary regula-
tions-which council dare not enforce
now because we haven't plenty of wa
ter-will increase the sale of water
enough to add from 81 900 to $4,000
year to the city's net profits, which
will correspondingly decrease the

ELKS PLANNING BIG
STATE MEET AT CANYON:
FLAGSTAFF TO BENEFIT

That Arizona Elks will probably
hold state meeting at Grand Can
yon July l to 3, was revealed in
Flagstaff Tuesday night by Grant
Dunlap of Jerome, deputy for the
north half of the state. He and the
southern district deputy as well as the
general officers of the state associa-
ton of Elks lodges are working hard
to get the plans put through.
They hope to have the coast special
trains to the national Elks conven-
ton at Atlanta, Ca, routed by way of
Grand Canyon, which will bring them
there on the dates set for the state
convention. This will give the Elks
of Arizona a chance to see in action
some of the finest Elks drill teams
of the Pacific coast.
Mr.. Dunlap says it is planned to
have a motor calvacade from the
south part of the state, to center at
Tucson. Next day they will go to
Phoenix. Next day on to Prescott,
and the next day, augmented by many
cars of Elks from the central part
of the state, the objective will be
Flagstaff, reaching here in time to
spend several daylight hours and
night and get on to Grand Canyon in
time for the opening Of the state con-
vention.
In each stopping place the calva-
cade will be received and given good
time by local Elks. The Flagstaff
Elks lodge has extended cordial in
vitation to the caivacade to make
this city one of their resting places.
at will be one of the greatest adj
vertisements Flagstaff can have" Mr..
Dunlap said. "It will bring to Flag
staff many hundreds from the south
ern part of the state who have heard,
yet have no proper conception of the
wonderful climate and scenery you
have here"
Mr.. Dunlap feels confident that
the plans viii be carried out. There
will be meeting between the district
deputies and general officers at Phoe-
nix the first of next week to further
these plans.
