SEWER DISTRICT FOR
COUNTY DISCUSSED

Two steps toward what may lead
to the development of sewer sys-
tenn for the heavily populated
fringe area of Phoenix were taken
this week. City and county Off
cials Friday heard an engineering
discussion of the problem. Earlier
in the week county officials had
suggested the need for establishing
sanitary district outside the city
to guard against the growing men,
ace to health from an increasing
number of cesspools. At Fridays
meeting John Carollo, sanitary and
water engineer, presented maps
showing the extent of the need
for a sewer system in tn densely
populated county areas and ex-
planned the development of SAN
itary district in the fringe areas
of Tucson. He said that if the city
and county cooperate a plan can
be worked out which will make
creation of such a district possible
here. County officials, impressed
by the presentation, said they
would study the problem further.

Going through the files of the late
Benny" Beard, who authored this
column for so many years, came
across the following story, which |
believe is well worth reprinting:
Billy Bivens was an eccentric col
ored preacher who was born slave
in the Hancock community, or IN
Hancock directly, no one today
knows exactly which. But he did
not stay there, and as soon as Presl-
dent Lincoln's Emancipation Procla-
nation gave him his liberty, he came
to Hagerstown.
Billy became famous in his day for
his preaching, and people, white and
colored,. came from miles around to
hear him. He had way of denounc-
ing sin and wiclSedness in a manner
peculiar to him, and although Harv-
ev's Grammar was an unknown
quantity to him, nevertheless he
blazed away, right and left, and let
the chips fall where they chose.
His favorite place of preaching
was in what was known in that day
as the Little Woods" which were
located in the northern suburbs OF
the citv (at that time no doubt out
side). where the old Cumberland
Valley Railroad cut through a hui,
the top of which was covered with
trees. 1t is also related that he would
preach anywhere he could get a
company of people together, when
he would launch forth on hell ire
and the judgment to come,
These are some of the excerpts
which have come down through sew
eral generations (the grapevine way)
and give the reader some idea OF
what they would have heard could
they have attended any of Billy
meetings:
On one occasion he was preaching
while standing on top of barrel
filled with cider. Now, the story
goes, the head of the barrel was not
strong enough to withstand his
weight. In the course of his sermon,
he waxed quite eloquent and as he
punctuated climax with his foot,
the head of the barrel gave way ana
he was precipitated into the clter.
On another occasion some unprln-
cipled fellows, apparently bent on
disturbing the meeting, threw apples
at him and they were not all solid
anples. either Billy stood it as long
M he could and then made the an
nouncement that the meeting was
dismissed until after "applebutter
bilin' time"
It is recalled of him that as he
was preaching one night, he derlded
his congregation in this way: Nov,
see, here, bredern, / wants to see
eb'ry one of you fellers here on next
Wednesday night, an | don't want
yer a-comin' here by the way OF dat
boose jint either. Do yer all under
stan'?"
Another thrust accredited to Billy
was this: Nov, do ye all see dat
tree standin' over thar? All right,
lot of you fellers remind me of
dat tree. 1t looks all right on de
outside but is boiler on de inside.
Nothin there"
Many white people used to go to
the Little Woods camp grounds to
hear Billy preach, some making the
trip on foot while others drove, in
the times of the Horse and Buggy
Days.
Among the prominent residents, it
is said, who went to hear Billy, were

An unusual musical program
was given in the Pan American
Union last night by two Chilean
artists, Lucia de Roman Heit-
mann, singer, and Donate Ro-
man Heitmann, composer and pi-
anist. Appearing under the spon-
sorship of the Ambassador Of
Chile on the Council of the Or
ganization of American States
and Sonora de Nieto del Rio,
they brought the folk lore of
their country and the adaptation
of it in contemporary songs. The
program concluded with works
by Mr.. Roman, many of them
based also on folk themes and
rhythms.
Both musicians are among the
most popular radio artists of
Chile and Mrs. Roman, under the
name of Carmen Rivas, has made
many recordings that have be-
come we'll known in this country.
BY a thorough study of the ua-
tive folklore they have been able
to present it in the proper man
ner for appreciation by any au-
dience. Last night, Mr.. Roman
explained the works, the style and
the origin as the program pro-
gressed, leaving only his own
numbers and those composers Of
the popular music of today to
speak for themselves.
Endowed with a very attractive
stage presence. Mrs. Roman is
adept in her manner of singing
which she does mostly to her own
accompaniment on the guitar. Her
voice is not large but its dusky
quality and expressiveness carries
the intimate note required for her
special art. It blends well with
the more vibrant timbre Of Mr..
Roman in the duets or the dia-
logues that make up many Of the
songs. He is a skilled pianist with
mellow touch and knows how
to create the desired atmosphere
for each selection in a modern
