BIG TO HESITATE IT
mm BEKEFITS"
That the matter of the construction
of the Tuma highway to connect Phoe-
I nix with the coast boulevard across
1 California is a larger question, one
i that affects the entire state of Arizona
. rather than merely Yuma county or
i any other county, is the contention of
1 the Tuma county and Imperial -valley
i delegations that were in Phoenix
i Thursday and held a conference with
the Maricopa county highway officials,
the state engineer and others.
The aftermath of the conference in
this city is bringing forward reasons,
it is stated, for the Yuma delegation
feeling justified in the belief that no
effort could be exerted'in the building
of this proposed connecting highway
could be too great nor should federal
aid be withheld in any way possible.
The question is entirely too large to
consider the benefits that might pos
sibly accrue to any one particular
district or locality, they insist.
The program of the Yuma county
men provides for the improvement of
the road to Antelope bridge, there be
ing a bad stretch of highway from the
Maricopa county line to Antelope
bridge. The Yuma county men, .how
ever, express themselves as confident
that not only will Maricopa county de
rive benefit from the improvement of
this road, but much of the rest of the
state, because so many roaxls lead from
t'ne principal sections' of - Arizona to
Phoenix, the center of population vas
well as the geographical hub of the
state.
Inasmuch as the first paved high
way from the coast to Arizona will
be completed to Yuma, the members
of this delegation contend that the
connection of Phoenix with this Cali
fornia highway is a matter of interest
to the whole state and should not be
delayed by a consideration of any pos
sible benefits that might be given to
any one county.
It is of first value to all Arizona,
they insist, and is worthy of all pos
sible state and federal aid. This pro
posed hitrhwnv. thev sav. will connect
the most populous part of Arizona with
California, and in going through Yuma
county will pass through an as yet
comparatively undeveloped part of the
state, but necessary to a realization of
this great highway project that will
j bring the capita! of Arizona in direct
highway communication with the Pa
cific coast.
The population of every community
is comprised in large part of people
who are busy doing the important w ork
of the world that they cannot keep
close check on the activities of others,
but tn full confidence accept at face
value the statements of those in charge
of important things, when they speak
with authority.
This little st'ory is designed for the
special edification of that class of citi
zens, who will be eligible to vote tit
the Phoenix water supply bond elec
tion next month. No exhausting details
will appear in this article, and only
statements of fact will be made, with
out effort to prove the statements. The
verification is available, if needed. Es
sentially, it is the quick answer to the
interested busy man's question. How
shall I vote? and the answer For the
bonds, of course.
Some 15 or 20 years ago the subject
of a bigger and better water supply
began to receive serious attention in j
Phoenix. From time to time some
measures of expansion were imperative
and were always made with large suc
cess, but always it was appreciated that
such action was only temporary, put
ting off, for the time, the day of per
manent and final construction for a
modern city whose shadow already ap
peared on the horizon.
The reader will understand, of course,
that in such final determination there
were many questions to consider, al! of
them sub-ordinate to three general
heads, namely, quality of supply, quan
tity of supply and cost 6f construction
Many Investigations Made
Under all three heads covering the
period of the twentieth century, in
vestigations have been persistently,
consistently, deliberately and exhaust
ively made by every Phoenix city gov
ernment and cflty engineer during that
period, and by numerous engineers of
the highest standing and repute, from
local men to the world s most compe
tent professional gentlemen, such as
Hiram Phillips and C. S. Phillips of St.
Louis, and William L. Church of New
York City, all of whom have to their
credit the construction of the biggest
and best water plants In America. The
unanimity of the general finding of
all these reports is so great as to be al
most suspicious, though naturally gra
tifying. . ;
Under heading one, quality, it was
universally conceded that the Phoenix
. watec supply is-crystal clear, not of
fensive to the taste after one grets ac
customed to it; and is of such quality
as to occasion no concern from a sani
tary point of view; nevertheless, it is
also a common knowledge that the wa
ter is hard and contains a large per
centage of salt, lime, etc., that it is
disastrous to steam boiler, auto radia
tors, cooking utensile, linens flannels
and other fabrics and quite unsatis
factory for culinary purposes.
Have Choice of Two
Under the second heading quantity,
it has been universally admitted that
the present source would be inadequate
for the needs of that greater city now
appearing, and that contamination in
the future might not be improvable.
Thus it is seen that everybody has
known from the beginning of things,
that eventually Phoenix must have a
new source of supply and as the days
go by the more urgent the need, there
fore, the persistent accumulation of
data during all these years.
In the prosecution of the foregoing
.work the numerous engineers referred
to have examined every known possible
water supply within 50 miles of the
city. They ' have found many places
where the water was marvellously pure,
but limited in quantity, some within
the very confines of the valley, some
beyond its nearby ranges' and some at
more distant points, but the two places
that have seemed to posses the possi
bilities of adequate quantity, avail- :
ability and reasonable purity were the j
Hassayampa river near Wiekenburg,
and the Verde river near Fort Me- ;
Dowell. In the course of this work I
scores of analysis were made, and the
results as to quality were gratifying in
a high degree- '.
Verde River Superior
But the one source of supply to which ;
every investigator has subscribed as
being amply quantitative and by all
odds superior to any other is that of
the Verde river, near Fort McDowell. '
This water is soft, contains practically j
no salt, lime nor alkali, indeed,' it is ;
stated by comparison to be of quality ;
superior even to the famous Owens ;
river aqueduct that supplies the city of
Los Angeles, in other words, an ideal
I supply as to both quality and quantity. !
I Under the third head, cost, the en- :
gineers have likewise agreed that the ,
Verde supply can be made much cheap- '
ly available than that of the Hassay-.
am pa, is oiily serious competitor, and i
which is second in quality and with
some menace as to future contamina
tion. The answer isobvious, Phoenix must
at no distant dayohave a better water
supply. A practically perfect supply is
now available by municipal location, a
supply that should make this city fam
ous the world around. If. therefore, it
must be provided soon, why not today,
that we may have all the advantages
are coming to us.
Municipal bonds as a class are al
was good security. Phoenix bonds un
der the conditions of ideal prosperity
that hover over the city should com
mand the best figure in the market.
Every argument favors unanimous sup
port of this bond issue.
Vote for the bonds and a greater
Phoenix, a Phoenix that shall be known,
not only for its greatness, but its char
asteristic individuality.

Class room facilities at the Phoenix
union high school will be entirely in
adequate to, care for the estimated
1.200 students who will enroll when
school resumes this fall. At least, six
or eight additional recitation rooms
will be necessary, it has been conserv
atively estimated by heads of the dif
ferent departments
When the present group of buildings
were planned, they were designed to
accommodate between 6."0 and 700
students. Through a re-arrangement
of the entire system, a means was
evolved whereby 951 students were
cared for one year, but not without
overcrowding.
With indications for the coming
year pointing to the largest enroll
ment in the history of the school, some
means must be taken to provide for
the overflow of students, the trustees
state.
Numerous . suggestions have been
made, among which is the establish
ment of recitation rooms in ome
building nearby. This step will un
doubtedly be taken in the absence of
better and more favorable provisions.
School authorities are emphatic in
their statement that Phoenix is in need j
of another high school. By this, it is ;
not meant to abandon the present I
structures, but' to add to the school!
facilities by constructing another !
building. Such a building would, of !
necessity, be constructed apart from :
the present group, owing to the lack I
of room.
It is rumored that another bond ;
election will be called later in the fall ,
as a means of making provisions for
future school needs. This proposed t
bond election may be -smaller than the ;
one defeated some weeks ago, but suf
ficiently large to permit the construe- ,
tion of a building big enough to care
for high school , needs for years to
come. j
After a careful analysis of work out- i
lined for the coming year, heads of
departments of the high school have i
decided as follows relative to the num
ber of study periods, classes and reci
tation rooms necessary:
English, 33 classes, seven teachers
and five class rooms; mathematics, 30
classes, six feathers and four class
rooms: history'. 15 classes, three teach
ers and two class rooms; science, IT
double period classes, six teachers and
five class rooms; foreign language, 2S
classes including 17 Spanish classes,
five teachers and five class rooms;
commercial, number of classes not yet
determined, seven teachers and six
class rooms; home economics, nine
double period classes, three teachers
and two class rooms; industrial shop,
wood and machine work, number of
classes undetermined, and two teach
ers; agriculture, one teacher; colored
school, two teachers and two class
rooms: principal, secretaries, two; one
librarian, one military director, one at
tendance officer, one physical training
director, one expression teacher, one
art teacher, one band teacher and one
study hall teacher.
This list includ. s 50 teachers, four
administration officers and one li
libranan, an increase of six employes
over last season. Jt also provides for
at least six mor class r.itims than
are to be had
The daily schedule consists of eight
45-minute periods. Each teacher has
recitations in her room during five of
the eight periods ctnd-Invites stndents
for individual conference work during
the other three periods. If deprived of
her room by s-endnig some other
teacher in, she has no place to go for
conference work. Such conference
work is recognized as very important
to the progress of the different pupils.
Some rooms now in use are too stria':
and very uncomfortable. -
Phoenix high school is not a voca
tional school, but so far as there is
room, provision is made for vocation; :
work. Consult courses of tudy fer
the 1919-1S20 school term will be for
warded upon application. The school
offers thorough courses in home ee-n-nomics,
agrictulture, wood shop, ma -chine
shop and even phase of com
mercial work.
The school encourages advanced
work at colleges and universities to
the extent that G7 per cent of thos -who
filled out questionnaires durin :
he last school year expressed a pur
pose to go to college

LOOKED GOOD TD HIM
After an experience of a working
man out of a job, Hillary Ilarr, 15-year-old
son of Mr. and Mrs Thomas
M. Harris of Parker, was returned to
his home last evening by the officers.
The boy was literally "np against ii"
when he made his way to the sheriffs
office and stated he wanted to go
home. He talked to the officers of
his little year-old brother Mayne, who
was teething, and his 3-year-old sister
Ruth, who had gone to San Francisco
with his mother to avoid the hot
weather.
The lad, whose father is foreman on
a cotton ranch at Parker, went to
Flagstaff for his vacation. While there
he met a boy several years his senior
who told him of the wealth to be made
in Phoenix. He said that there was
lots of work in the capital city and
that wages were high. Hillary traveled
from the north on a freight train and
when he reached here he went out in
search of work. The sheriff's office
gave him a bed Friday night, and he
was up bright and early yesterday
looking for the job that was to bring
him a fortune. It failed to merialixe
by noon, and Hillary Becidod he
wanted to go home. .
