BOARD OF HEALTH
SECRETARY RESIGKS
Announcement that A. IT. Powers
had resigned as executive secretary to
the etate board of health was made at
the state house today. The rumor was
confirmed by lr. George Goodrich,
state superintendent of health, who
stated that as yet no one had been ap
pointed in Air. Powers' place.
Several weeks ago rumor was cur
rent that Mr. Powers would resign,
but he denied that he was leaving the
department. Shortly afterward he left
town on a two weeks vacation and was
in I'hoenix but a few days when he re
signed, leaving yesterday for his
former home in Prescott. No reason
was given fbr the resignation which is
believed to hav been on account of
all health.
Steps to drain all waterlogged areas
in the Salt River project will be taken
ty the Salt River Valley Water Users'
association soon after Oct. 1, officials
of the association announced yester
day. It is estimated that $120,000 will
be spent next year for this purpose,
the money to he secured bj an assess
ment of $2.04 an acre on all lands in
cluded in the waterlogged districts.
The total .assessment will be collected
in six semi-annual installments of 34
cents an acre.
Prospects for the successful carry
ing on of the drainage work are now
brighter than ever before, according
to Fred c. Henshaw. secretary of the
association, who declares that present
conditions warrant the association to
hope that the lands may be uuwatercd
without the expenditure of the tonl
amount of the assessment.
The work of drainage will rot cost
the association as much as it was first
thought, due to tlio. fact that the firm
of Carrick & Mangham has agreed to
take care of the most extensive flooded
area as one of the conditions in a con
tract whereby the ranchers west of the
Agua Fria river are allowed to use
waste and flood waters from the Slit
River project to irrigate their lands.
In this way one of the iargesV items of
expense will be removed from the
drainage budsret.
Drainage work will commence as
soon after the first installment of the
assessment is paid as the equipment
can be set up on the ground. Aside
from the area near I'hoenix, which will
be handled by Mangham & Carrick, the
water users' association will on its own
iniative drain three oilier smaller
sections, one northeast of the Indian
school, another, near Scottsdale and
a third near Laveen. All four water
logged areas may be drained sepa
rately, as they are not connected un
derground. The work will be carried on prin
cipally by pumping plants in order that
the reclaimed water may be used for
irrigation purposes. The pumping
plant system will be supplemented by
a few open ditches and cnnals.

A sale planned to help you freshen up your wardrobe, for your Summer vacation
And in order to emphasize as much as possible that we are sincere in this sale
No price-juggling methods are ever employed here. No goods of shoddy character are ever sold here. And is it not worth a
great deal to feel certain that both the goods and the reductions can be relied upon? Making a lot of glowing promises on paper is
one thing. Backing them up with dependable merchandising is quite another thing. When Switzer's Style Shop advertises a sale
you can be absolutely certain: WE HAVE THE GOODS.
We not only have the goods, but we have goods of quality.
Garments of sound quality are scarce, and yield but little profit. But contrary to common practice, we do not offer this as an ex
cuse for selling inferior goods. As long as garments of quality are to be had in the markets of the world, so long will Switzer s
Style Shop sell such garments. And this is as true of mrechandise offered at reduced prices as it is of goods sold in the regular way
In the face of these facts, if you have any kind of clothes need, wouldn't it be a pretty good idea to see foryourself that your
' money will buy here, now, anywhere up to double what it ordinarily will.
