nouncement made in Fallon since
the town was started was given out
Saturday by the Churchill County
Bank management and has to do
with a $4,000 structure including
furnishings, to be erected upon one
of three available sites. The decis-
ion to build the finest exclusive
bank building within the state OF
Nevada was made at the meeting of
the banks directorate early this
month, but for business reasons NO
announcement was vouchsafed until
last week. when every detail save that
of the actual building plan had been
fully determined upon. The build
ing's architecture is the one thing re-
naming unsettled, but the structure
will involve everything that has been
devised to date for the convenience
of banks patrons. 1t will be one

are divided over the merits of the
present law
bill making changes in the
purity of elections law also is to
be introduced soon, according to re-
port. Some of the more drastic sec
tions OF the present law are to be
repealed in case the new bill is
passed. The bill. probably will make
its appearance in the senate.
Oddie Vetoes Sustained.
The assembly, before adjournment
yesterday sustained all vetoes of
Gov. Oddie affixed after the session
closed two years ago. The vote to
sustain the governor was unanimous
on nearly evry bill. two votes against
his action being the most cast on
any one bill.
In connection with vetoed bills IL
is interesting to note that several
bills, the vetoes on which have been
sustained by the assembly of the
present legislature, have duplicates
already introduced during the ses-
session. What will be the fate of
those bills will be interesting, when
one considers that vetoes of similar
measures already have been sus-
tanned. Among such bills are the
blacklist and eight-hour-day-for-
women bills.
The gist of Mondays bills is as
follows:
Divorce Bill Appears
The first bill out of the box In the
morning was assembly bill IL, sent
up by Waits of Washoe, on behalf
OF the Washoe delegation. II was
referred to the committee on public
morals of which w. S. Beard of
Washoe, is chairman.
This bill is an amendment tc ex.
isting legislation on the subject and
is made by repeating the law OF 1918
and re-enacting at length section 90
of the act of 1875. This includes
the same grounds for divorce as
now and but one change whereby
the period of residence of the plain
tiff is made six months instead of a
year. 1t is the same law that pre-
vailed before the act of 1918 was
passed.

Buol of Clark, being a bill to create
state racing commission, and to
