CALICHI PIT TO SERVE
EAST SIDE AREA

Arrangements have been made
for the use of a caliche pit locat-
ed in the eastern portion OF
South Mountain Park near Qua
dalupe. The new pit is IL miles
from 10th Street and Indian
School Road. Hauling crews
from the Division of Street
Maintenance may use 40th ST.,
a paved road all the way from
the pit to the areas to be serv-
ed. Through moving it's shovel
and crusher to the new pit SUI
flcient caliche will be produced
to cover the needs for work on
alleys and unimproved streets
in the new areas to the east. The
equipment then will be moved
back to the old pit in South
Mountain Park to keep up with
the work on the west side OF the
City. This arrangement means
a savings in man equipment
hours, length OF haul, addition
al expenditures for added equip
ment. as well as lengthening the
life of the present pit. The new
pit. which consists of approx
mately seven acres, will supply
caliche for about 5 years.

income was set at SO, 1866, 100 with
property taxes accounting for
1919 per cent or $1.945,2 ,283. This
reduction in property tax re-
venues has been made in the
face of steadily expanding pop

timated at ,794, an increase
