Miss Lintz said Flagstaff should be
proud of the way the local women
took care of the delegates and visi-
tors, who were royalty entertained.
Mrs. Ana Frohmiller, who with
Mrs. Pearl Cree attended the meet
ing as representative of the new
association of business and profess
sional women of Flagstaff, just be-
ing organized, spoke briefly of the
new association and said it was be-
ing patterned to some extent after
Rotary because of the expeditions
manner in which Rotary handles its
business and eliminates tediousness OF
detail. This naturally made hit
with the Rotarians and now they all
want to join the new organization.
|. B. Koch reported for city coun-
ell on the letting of the water i'm
provements contracts. He said the
water in the reservoir is now gradual
ly increasing, but that two weeks age
it was so low that single big fire
would have used it all. A represen-
tative of the underwriters was here
recently and we missed by marrow
margin the cancellation of Flagstaff

minimum pipe in the extreme resi-
dence sections will be 4-inch, as con-
trasted with inch and half pipe now
in use. Thirty additional hydrants
will be installed, all with fire steamer
connections. When this distribution
system is completed, early this fall,
there will be heavy pressure all over
town and adequate water for all fire
purposes.
The springs pipe line is
to be completed within six months.
The decision of council to use concrete
instead Of steel pipe has saved the city
many thousand dollars, and all the en-
gineers feel that it is much the bet
ter pipe, not only as far as durability
and long life is concerned, but also
with respect to carrying capacity.
Ernest F. Bent of the Bent Concrete
Pipe Co., Los Angeles, who will fur
nish the pipe, made the pipe in our
sewer system and it is giving COM
plete satisfaction. Mr.. Bent will make
/ the pipe here in Flagstaff and it will
result in spending of 5000 or more
locally.
