ually proved more powerful than the
rifles OF the gendarmes, and Tomsics'
who had defed the bullets for twenty
four hours. yielded this afternoon to the
prayers of the priest
A heavy fusillade from the gendarm-
erie against the murderer's sanctuary

 In 1893 q pavement practically the same as the Burlingame and Santa Ana pavements was laid in Pitts burg, Pa, on Lang Avenue, which ln 1909, owing to it's wearing and other desirable qualities, was recognized as g. standard of asphaltic concrete con struction The same type of pave ment laid in Burlingame and Santa Ana has heen extensively laid under what is known as the Topeka Speci- fications" in various cities of the Middle West; 5.S94,0O0 square feet being laid by Queens Borough of New York City during the year 1912 1913.
 May 26th, 1910, Warren Brothers Company brought an action against the City of Topeka and the Raw Paving Company for infringement Of their patents in laying this pavement in the cities of Topeka and Emporia Kansas, which was decided against the Warren Brothers by Judge John C. Pollock of the United States Cir cult Court, District of Kansas. This decision established the legal status of concrete asphaltic pavements ot this character laid under the Topeka Specifications.
 Since it's adoption at Burlingame it has been specified by Sacramento, San Mateo, Stockton, Hollister, May ificId. Los Gatos. South san Francisco, Hillsborough, Los Angeles and BraW- | ley: and. on the advice of Prof. Stur- geon of the University of California, acting in the capacity of Consultips Engineer, adopted and laid in the St. Francis Wood Addition to the City of San Francisco, said to be one ot the best paved additions in Cali i fornia
 This pavement, consisting of a 11a inch wearing surface on inch Portland cement concrete base is De ing laid in Santa Ana for 13c and l13bc. per square foot including the grading and preparation of the sub
 grade In Burlingame, the cost oi
 a 4 inch concrete base ranged fror 125 to .51k cents per square fool
 while laid upon a inch concrete

laid where a tibuminous pavement is desired and the traffic does not re- quire or the property justify, in he judgment of the owners, the more expensive pavement
 With the flat street grades found in Phoenix. there is no reason why the building of cement gutters could not be discontinued and the pave ment laid from curb to curb on all streets outside the business district, as the velocity of the water even when the gutter is running full is rot sufficient to have any effect upon the surface of the pavement. In the business district where large num- bcrs of automobiles are parked along the curbs, wide gutter should be constructed to protect the bituminous wearing surface from oil drippings. By substituting valleys instead of culverts to carry storm water across street intersections, a saving of at least $200 per intersection should be effected the water would be handled in q more satisfactory manner and the expense of keeping culverts clear end in a sanitary condition would be eliminated.
 All property owners should be urged to build sidewalks ahead of street paving. If this was done and the streets at the same time were graded to conform to the curhs Phoenix would have good lookinp streets even though they were not all paved and the property owners would save money by having the ce- ment work done by concrete con tractors instead of paving companies
 The City requires a repair outfit for patching bituminous pavements l where opened for various purposes A plant capable of handling thi. work could be obtained for s3500. 4 portable plant. consisting of heatins utensils, road roller and concret, mixer of sufficient capacity to la, 1 concrete pavements or concrete base for asphaltic wearing surfaces, woul, require an expenditure of $10,00C The above estimates do not includ crushers and screens, it being as sumed that supplies of stone an sand in requisite quantities can b obtained from local dealers. A com plete municipal plant would cost i round numbers $2O,OOO.

JOHN {. WHITE TALKS TO HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

The students of the High School were addressed yesterday afternoon in general assembly, by John z. White, lecturer and advocate of the Single Tax of international reputa tion, on the subject ''The Dignity of Labor"
 His talk was full of humor and in it's way instructive, but on account of his limited time MT. White was an able to do full credit to his subject. His point was, that the dignity of labor or of the laboring classes, un- der the present conditions in America were not what they should be; due to the monopoly of the lands in city and country by a few. After the close of the seventh period, the sen l io.r class held their second business
 meeting of the year. Joseph Doron, vice-president of the class was elect
 ed chief of the Annual" staff. | Miss Robinson, who was belated | because of the illness of her sister,

 GUT IN HALF
Reclamation Commis sion Grants Delay of Six. Months on Half of Pay ment Due by Each lrriga- tor for Coming Year

Recognizing the baneful influences of the European war on local credits even in farm communities, the re- clamation commission has granted the appeal of the Salt River Valley farmers for a division of their water service charge. In a communication from the commission received by Project Manager C. H. Fitch yester- day, there is official permission to the local office to accept half the payment on october 1, provided the other half is to be paid on April 1, six months later.
 The division of the water payment is the direct result of a petition passed by the board of governors of the Water Users association at it's last regular meeting on September '. In this petition was stated, the case of the farmers here, the conditions induced by the money stringency re- sulting from the war and the need of making it easy for everyone during this time of stress.
 The reply is prompt and entirely satisfactory
 On Thursday payments for the wa ter service for the next year become due and payable. The rate is un changed, a dollar for the minimum of | two acre feet Under the new provi
 sion, a farmer pays but fifty cents an acre foot for each acre on this pay 1 day, and the other fifty cents six
