ever set eyes on the famed
dutch" that he brought more
"ahs" from people than anything
else.
A one hour dramatization of this
historic event will be given on the
south rim of the canyon about
twelve miles from the Hotel Ell
Tovar and the Bright Angel lodge
where everyone from kings and
queens on down has been enter
tanned in the past few years.

ion with the Arizona Coronado

far this would go, he could not
saw. He gave the twelve states
that had this bill in effect and the
various amounts of coyerage OF
each. There are some states that
do not have this bill but do give
q reduction or special low rate
TO home owners, DR.. Hudson stat
ed. He pointed out that taxes
were levied on property by the
school, district, city, county, and
the state. In some states only one
or two or three Of these were
eliminated by this exemption bill,
but there was, on the other hand,
the example of all of these levies
being eliminated. In this case. 1t
all resorts to the state to be liable
for the expenses that formerly was
taken care Of by the School Dis
trict, Municipality or County
When this happens it results IN
higher sales tax or higher rate on
other types of property. He show
ed how difficult it would be tc
| levy taxes or to the degree of ex
emption on homes by pointing Out
! the example of room being rent
/ ed in a private home. Or an
apartment with thee owner living
in one part of the house. Maybe
the apartments would be rented
for only a part of the year. Could
the owner claim full occupancy
during this time of vacancy or
how would the tax on this be
| levied?
This would encourage home
owners to a certain degree but II
would also place a greater burden
on the State to m the ex-
penses that the tax from the
School District, Municipality and
County had formerly met. II the
State had to do this 1t would be-
come necessary for the State to
aid the schools in their expenses
to meet various other items. BY
doing this the State would have to
raise some kind of tax, probably
higher sales tax and higher tax
on other property as was done by
other states, DR.. Hudson stated. Ii
the State-Aid Bill fails to pass 1t
may mean a shorter school term
and lower wages to the school
employees.
DR.. Hudson continued his speech
with the explanation of the Limi-
tation Bill which states no new
tax can be imposed and no rate
increased; therefore if all three
of these bills pass, that is, the
Homestead Exemption Bill, the
State Aid Bill and the Limitation
Bill which will not allow any
extra tax and some taxes to be
reduced and the matter of the
State Aid, then how can it meet
this added expense. This, DR.. Hud-
son said. was food for thought.

Fifth Apportionment
Of Stored And
Pumped Water

The Fourth Apportionment OF
stored and pumped water for lands
OF the San Carlos Project, made
on August 26. 1910, provided for a
total OF 1850 acre feet per acre of
water measured at the source of
supply and subject to evaporation
and transportation losses. The
gross area OF farms of the project
under cultivation and irrigation
during the season of 1910 is esti-
mated to be $4,000 acres.
Since the date of the Fourth Ap-
portionment there have been in
creases in San Carlos Reservoir
amounting to $50 acre feet and
in Picacho Reservoir amounting
TO 700 acre feet, a total for both
reservoirs of $3.50 acre feet. 1t is
desired TO allow project lands to
have the benefit of these increases
at this time when crops are IN
need of additional irrigation. An
additional apportionment Is made
in an amount of 0.06S acre feet
for project lands under cultiva-
ton and irrigation, this water
measured at the source Of supply
and subject to evaporation and
transportation losses.
The total of all appointments
of stored and pumped water made
during the season of 1910 is now
1.S2S acre feet per acre measured
at the source OF supply. 1t is esti-
mated that the new apportionment
viii provide 0.05 acre feet per
acre delivered at the farm, and
that the total OF all water appor-
toned to date this year will
amount to 1.27 acre feet per acre,
measured at the point of farm de-
livery.
This order applies to all lands
under constructed works ready for
irrigation and being cultivated
this year. Delivery of water here
by apportioned will depend on the
ability of the project to supply
water power for the operation OF
pumps in irrigation wells to pro-
vide the pumped water yet to be
delivered of water previously ap-
portioned, and to the ability Of the
lands to make use Of water avail
able from irrigation wells.
Delivery of water of this ap
portionment will be secondary tc
the delivery Of balances remaining
to be delivered to previous ap
portionments.
Additional apportionments will
be made at later dates should
there be increases in the supply
OF stored and pumped waters thai
make such additional apportion
ments possible
