City Passes
10000 Population

With sanneXatiOn Tuesday of 4.92
square miles of fringe area to the
east, the City of Phoenix reached
an estimated population of 152,-
400. The annexation, with an eSti-
mated population of 1880, raised
the total area of the city to 29.02
square miles. 1t was the largest
single area annexed in the city'S
history. The second largest area
taken in was 2.75 square miles to
the west in Dec. 1855. The new
annexation ordinance was given
legal publication the same day it
was passed by the City Council,
preventing an anticipated legal
maneuver by oppoents to stop the
annexation by enjoining the pub
lication. Opponents still may chal-
lenge the validity of the annexa-
ton in the courts If they wish.
Immediately upon passage of the
ordinance, City street maintenance
crews We're sent into the new area
to start repairing streets, cleaning
alleys and doing other maintenance
work. City limit signs are being
moved to new locations and work
is being started on placing street
traffic and name signs where they
are needle. Garbage and trash col
lection services are tentatively set
TO start May 2. Men and equipment
must be assembled to provide these
services. Police cars already are
patrolling the new area and fire
protection is being given. Firemen
shortly will begin delivering let
ter of welcome from the City
Council and message from the
City Manager to the residents of
the new area. While delivering the
letter and message the firemen
will take the census on forms
Identical with. those used by the
Federal Bureau of the Census so
that an accurate count of the new
population can be obtained. The
City's Managers message informs
the new residents of the services
they will receive and the new
rights they gain.

PoIm Trees
Tronsplonted

Whenever it becomes necessary
to remove palm trees to make way
for street widening or other engi-
neering projects every effort Is
made to see that desirable trees
are saved. The transplanting Of
palms and other beneficial trees
is made under the careful super
vision of the Park and Recreation
Department. The trees usually are
moved to City parks and play
gronds. Trees which were removed
rectnly to allow for the widening
of Indian School Road, First Street
and 24th Street were handled in
this manner.
