Waterworks Franchise Granted for Tombstone
Judge Ben Goodrich and associates applied to Tombstone city council for a waterworks franchise. The franchise was granted. Promoters plan to form a citizen-sourced company to lay mains, draw water from the Tombstone Canal, and supply a larger, purified supply to accommodate rapid growth and irrigation needs. The water is declared pure after analysis, with pumping to begin after Consolidated Mines pumps are ready. The 1902 county assessment totals 4,040,303.77 dollars, with further equalization adjustments due in August. A statehood push will bring a four-senator Arizona delegation to Los Angeles for a meeting organized by Colonel Epes Randolph.
