CITY DRAINAGE
SYSTEM PBWE5
i GREAT SUCCESS
"When Will th dPSPrt hornme a lalre'
ot many years asro thia question ap
plied to Cne Salt River valley, and es
pecially to Phoenix, would have been
considered as foolish by the intelligent
citizen. However, a little more than a
year ago the city engineering depart
ment was aroused to find a solution for
that very problem. Phoenix woke up
to a realization that unless immediate
action was taken there might come a
day when row boats instead of street
cars would be necessary to carry on the
transportation of the city. A bond issue
of $100,000 was carried and August IS,
1919, work was started on a most extra
ordinary drainage system which is
rapidly neariner completion under the
supervision of City Engineer Hitchcock.
With City Engineer Hitchcock and
members of the city engineering" de
partment a representative of The Re
publican made an inspection trip of the
new system yesterday. At Nineteenth
and Adams streets the immense steam
ehovel which has dug its way almost
completely around the city was found.
Its giant claws had uncovered water
at a depth of onlv 10 feet.
"At some place in the city water is
found at a depth of less than five feet,"
Mr. Hitchcock explained. "In fact,
there are cases where the water has
seeped clear through the surface and
formed pools of considerable size."
That this sub stratum of water is no
mere dribble was indicated very strong
ly when workmen wer laying pipe of
the drainage system near the railroad
tracks on Nineteenth street. At that
point the pressure of the underground
channel was so strong its to necessitate
the use of the city fiiw engine to keep
the ditch pumped clear of water while
, pipe was being laid.
The drainage pipes are laid in the
itch with the joints open at the under
Bide. To pt event the entrance of dirt
into the pipes a small strip of building
paper is laid over the upper side of the
joint. Through these crevices water
seeps and trickles, growing in volume
until at the outlet nea Salt River at
Nineteenth street the roaring stream
almost fills the 18-inch pipe from which
it pours into the open channel.
In. this channel the sewerage water
merges with the drainage water and a
short distance farther down is diverted
into irrigation ditches.. Thus, in get
ting rid of a menace, the city derives
a revenue from the sale of this waste
water.
Pipe is now carrying water from
Nineteenth to Washington streets. A
branch runs fast on the Buckeye road
to Ninth avenue, from Ninth avenue
to Lincoln street, east on Lincoln to
Third street (a section not yet com
pleted), north on Third to Madison
street, then cast to Ninth street and
north on Ninth street to the canal. The
pipe line is being extended on Nine
teenth street to Van Buren street. It
will run easf on Van Buren street to
Ninth avenue, north on Ninth avenue to
McKinley street which will be the ter
minus under present arrangements.
"In order to complete the system it
would be advisable to carry the pipe
line east on McKinley to connect up
with the Dranch at Ninth street, mak
ing a complete fcircuit," Mr. Hitchcock
explained, but added that this could
not be done with the funds available.
Already this system is proving effec
tive in keeping water out of basements
and preventing alkali from coming to
the surface and killing vegetation. In
conjunction with this system the Water
Users's association is taking steps to
relieve the situation in outlying dis
tricts. Mr. Hitchcock gave it as his
opinion that without such a drainage
system Phoenix might eventually have
become completely inundated, but he
expressed the belief that with the pipes
carrying off their millions of gallons of
: water. Phoenix is relieved from all dan
' gcr of the underground channels.
Much Building Is
Still In Evidence
A steady activity in building lines
was announced yesterday by several
of -the leading architects of the city.
While a great deal of work is being
put on office and store buildings, the
greater amount has been concentrated
on the erection of residences. These

IS REGISTRATION
Phone 1654
TOTAL IN COUNTY
At midnight last niarht the registra
tion books closed for the primary elec
tion to be held Tuesday, September 7.
Those who have failed to get their
names on the books will not be per
mitted to cast a ballot at the primary.
It was estimated last niht that a
total of 2-, 500 names had been placed
on the registration books, considerable
of an increase of any previous regis
tration in this county, officials state.
Last year there was a total of 19,244
names, registered before the primary.
This increase in the registration is de
clared to be due to the growth popu
lation. Although those who have neglected
to register up to midnight last night
will lose, their vote at the primary,
they will yet have a chance to qualify
for the general election in November.
The registration books are to be re
opened on September 14 and will close
finally on. October 15. That, however,
will be the final opportunity.
Four extra tables were placed in the
hall of the court house yesterday to
accommodate the eleventh hour rush to
icgister. The clerks in charge were
kept busy all day long. It is estimat
ed that fully 500 people registered there
yesterday.
All the registration blanks taken in
by the registration officers in the
county will be turned in to the office
at the court house today and it l's ex
pected that they will swell the number
of registrants yesterday several hun
dred more.
The total registration indicates a
record vote at the general election.
are going up in every section of Phoe
nix, and in such number that there is
scarcely a block in which new homes
are not -noticeable.
The largest item in the local build -ng
program, however, is that of the
school system, which has planned a
number of structures. These are being
held back, it is said, by the fact that
some difficulty has been met in selling
the requisite bonds, but this obstacle,
it is believed, will have been overcome
in the very near future.

The gallant struggle of the Poles to save their capital from capture has at last been
crowned with success, and the Bolshevist reverse bids fair to become a rout, according to
an arresting article in this week's number of THE LITERARY DIGEST, dated August
28th, on this spectacular turning of the tide of war. The Minneapolis Journal is quoted as
saying that "the Bolshevik menace to Western" civilization, if any, is now political," while
an Eastern paper is sure that "Bolshevism has shot its bolt." The Newark Evening News
asserts that the "lowering of Bolshevism's prestige will naturally be followed by reactions
within Russia," and the New York World declaresxthat "it was not merely a battle that
Poland won in front of Warsaw, but the right to assume a position of equality at the peace
table.
Other articles of more than usual-interest in this number of THE DIGEST are :
