from the value Of the waste

DPW commissioner said, "but
also from savings in the use of
trucks.

AT the present time, DPW

to make long runs to the city
limits To dump II. This way
they will bring their loads TO a
depot In a central part Of the
city. Trucks will spend more of
their time making pickups In

Walker said a further saving
will be effected because waste
materials which are valueleSS AS
salvage will be used 10 burn the
garbage. AT present the city uses
coal for this purpose.
1t is expected the plant will be
completed in six months.
1t will operate by combination
of hand and conveyor systems.
Workers will pick the salvage over
by hand, sorting various salvage
able materials. These will be car
ried 10 their proper destination in
the plant by conveyorS.
The new building will be three
stories high and $50 feet long.
Walker said that the prioritieS
problem in connection with its
erection is being partly overcome,
at least, by designing it according
TO the dimensions of an old car
barn recently torn down, the grid

bent governor has carried the
states most populous county in a
primary election.
Despite ambitious efforts OF state
administration publicists to "ex.
plain matters" the indisputable
fact remains that Arizona's 1912
tax rate of s1.26 per 800 of as
sessed valuation is the second
highest tax rate in state history.
The all-time high of s1.67 was in
1871, also under Osborn.
In the campaign of two years
ago, Candidate Osborn publicly re-
buked the then governor for ex-
planning the tax rate "The rate
is there for all to see," he re-
peatedly declared. and asserted
There is only one real yardstick
by which to measure a tax rate.
II is to strike an average for the
two years a governor has been in
office"
By striking such an average
against Bob Jones on rates OF S1.25
and SO cents, Osborn pointed TO
the average of S1.04 for the two
years"
Applying Mr.. Osborn's own
''yardstick," the average rate for
his two years in office-S1.67 and
s1.26-is S1.462, by far the high
est average rate" since Arizona
became a state.
In an effort to Offset this politi-
cal punch the governor is attempt
ing to claim credit for sizeable
reductions in county tax rates,
which in some instances-through
economies instituted by boards of
superyisors-make it unnecessary
to make any levy.
