Street LIGHTING
FUND RAISE SEEN
City Heads Confident Money
Will Be Granted for Pro.
gram Outlined.

That the next District appropria-
ton bill will carry a larger sum for
street lighting than has been allowed
in the past is the confident eXpecta-
tion of city officials
Although the Bureau of the Budget,
which is now scrutinizing the Com
missioners' estimates for next year.
may not allow as much for street
lighting as the city heads requested,
1t is believed a sufficient sum will be
approved to begin the execution of
the comprehensive program recently
formulated for the city-wide i'm
provement Of street illumination.
The Fine Arts Commission has
placed its stamp of approval upon the
architectural design of several new
types of lamp post to be used in car
rying out the lighting program. and
some OF the new style posts will be
placed within a few months out OF
current appropriations.
Streets CLASSIFIED.
In mapping out the new scheme for
improved illumination the Commits
sioners have classified the streets of
the city as follows: Primary busi-
ness. secondary business. outlying
business. primary traffic arteries, sec
ond traffic, residential streets and
highways.
The aim will 5e to put on each
street a type OF light appropriate to
the prevailing conditions. A distinc-
tive treatment is being planned for
Pennsylvania avenue as the outstand-
ne thoroughfare of the city.
The speed with which the new pro-
gram is carried out will depend solely
on the rate at which appropriations
arc made The Commissioners at Nrsr
had hoped to spend about 81, 500, 90
in five years, but it probably will be
necessary to make the period Of de-
velopment longer with smaller an
nual allotments.

TO INVESTIGATE CAUSES
OF MANY FOREST FIRES

An investigation into the causes of
the numerous forest fires which swept
through Arizona and New Mexico last
week will be instituted by officials of
the district forest office at Albu-
querque.
Officials point out that Sc fires were
reported between June 10 and June
20, and of these many are thought to
have been man caused, as the light
ming season has not commenced. Fig
urcs available at the district forest
office do not show the percentage of
fires caused by lightning, but it is
thought to be extremely small.
Less thar five per cent of the fires
since the opening of the fire season,
1877 in number, have resulted in tres
pass cases to date, but officials say
that evidence in many cases may be
secured soon which will result in
court action

COWBOYS ARE
RARIN' TO Do
THEIR STUNTS

The big cowboy reunion and Fourth
of July celebration is in full swing.
All day Thursday cowboys and ranch
ers were arriving and evidences OF a
big time are apparent at every turn.
The Nayajos are reported as advanc-
ing on the city 300 strong, decked in
all their savage finery.
Arrangements for the big parade,
which will leave the Bazell camp
ground at $50 this morning are COM
plete and the procession will be a
real wild-west pageant, cowboys in
full regalia, Indians in native cos
tune, interspersed with automobiles
in gala decorations, chuck wagons,
wild and untamed broncos, charging
their captors. The parade will travel
east on Second street to Williamson
avenue, thence north on Williamson
avenue to Elm street, thence east on
Elm to the city park where the fes-
tivities are to be held.
The stunts start at 10 a. m, and
continue throughout the day and will
follow in rapid succession in the or
der given in the program.
Norman Bennett is the marshal of
the day.

sions. Two other lots were partially
paid for. This makes seven lots used
since last council meeting, all deaths
of Mexican children. The city clerk
suggested this was condition needing
attention.
The city clerk mentioned that he
brought $500 tax money here Monday
from Holbrook, and that at the pres
ent time there remained in the city
treasury for general uses, approxi-
mately $1700 in cash. The city would
get possibly $500 next week from
HOlbrook in taxes.
The dispute with the Ridgewood Oil
Co. over the price of oil for use in
making gas at the city gas plant oc-
cupied an hour of time. The original
contract made in 1921 was renewed
from year to year, including 1924 up
to October 10.
Some of the aldermen had a recol-
lection of a contract for oil to cost
the city 80 cents a barrel, but the city
had no memoranda on the case. The
only written evidence produced was
on the part of the oil company
through a representative sent here
Tuesday The written evidence tend
ed to show renewal of the old con-
tract which provided for a basic price
but the city always to pay any ad-
vance at time Of delivery or to get
advantage for any decrease from the
basic price at the time of any carload
delivery. This was finally decided by
the council as being the condition
they would eventually face, so they
will pay on that basis. The city had
been delaying partial payments await
ing final decision on this contract
matter.
R. G.. Rhoades asked the council to
see that other lot owners on the
block on which he lives be compelled
to lay sidewalks before their lots. He
declared he built a walk with the
understanding that the entire block
was to be built up but his walk now
stands alone, flanked with mud and
water on both streets during the wet
season.
Alderman McGregor objected to the
street supervisor working on Sunday.
"If the city can't be kept clean six
days week then something else
ought to be done" said McGregor. AL
derman Comstock then stated that at
the time the work was done last Sun
day he was the only member of the
street committee in town; that the
city faced the Fourth of July crowd
with filthy streets and that the street
supervisor urged that he could best
do this work on Sunday when trucks
and similar traffic was less annoying
and that he therefore authorized the
work to be done on Sunday.
The city officials are still debating
the matter of the audit of the city
books. 1t was found through legal ad-
vice that it was not necessary to en-
ploy a certified accountant to audit
the books. but anyone of sufficient
ability to do the work might be en-
pIoyed. The apparent cost of the
audit by certified accounts has thus
far restrained the council from con-
tracing for the work.
Before the council recessed to meet
again the night of July 15, Alderman
Comstock wrote out his resignation
from all committees and the resigna-
ton was tabled until the July 10 ses-
sion

Removing Restrictions
ON Vegetable Shipments

Restrictions on vegetable and fruit
shipments from California are grad
ually weakening. 1t is necessary,
however, for express shipments to
have official certificate of the state
veterinarian &c Arizona before they
are brought into the state However,
any kind of vegetables or fruit can
now be brought into the state if prop
erly certified. The local markets
have been exhibiting increased variety
of both fruits and vegetables during
the past week or two, and it is expect
ed that the restrictions will gradually
be removed until free interchange of
products is possible, as the foot and
mouth disease outbreak is rapidly be-
coming thing of the past.

CITY MUST RE-ROUTE
SEWER AT ICE PLANT

There are other indications of the
Santa Fe pushing through the work
at the new ice plant in addition to the
work Being done on removing the hill
due orth OF the old plant. The latest
evidence GENES in the nature of re-
guest on the part of the road offic-
ials to the city, to remove that part
o. the sewer on Second street that
runs ever the Santa Fe property near
tn. street curb line. The city will
remove the sewer there or rather will
divert the course north out into the
highway so it will be outside the
foundation lines of the new plant.
The foundations are to run deep and
the railway company does not want
sewer pipe running under their per
manent works Ninety days are CIV
en- to divert the course of the sewer.

FIRE TRUCK CALLED
TO GAS PLANT SUNDAY

The city fire truck was called out
to the gas plant on West Second
street about $50 p. m. Sunday on the
report of a fire existing there. The
fire truck was taken out but nearly
all symptoms of the blaze were gone
ere the truck arrived, owing to the
efficient work of bucket brigade in
charge of City Clerk Johnson, who,
with his family, happened in from the
east along the road just in time to be
of assistance. A few buckets of water
applied to the pile of sawdust or
small shavings afire tended to reduce
materially the danger of a real con-
flagration The cause of the blaze is
unknown 1t started in the pile OF
sawdust outside the building at the
northeast corner of the plant.
