the race course today, which will put
it in excellent condition for the auto

crs said last night This, coupled with
the fact that the flying circus will be

formally opened and that the races

from one and the same location is
regarded as a sure indication that May

in Albuquerque, as an excellent race
card is being prepared, while the air

MOTOR SPRINKLER IS
BOUGHT BY THE CITY

City Manager A, r. Heberstroit yes
terday announced that he had award :
ed the contract for the purchase of
n motor driven street sprinkler to the
Barber-P Potter Motor ComnanN. TIE
commissioners received bids for the
sprinkler move than week ago and
authorized the city mano to make
the award after he had Investigated
the trucks offered by the bidders.
The city manager said that the
purchase Of the truck would be econ
omy owing to the fact that it can do
much more work than a horse drawn
sprinkler He figured that the nor
NAL appropriation for sprinkling
would not only paw the cost of onera-
alton of the truck but also pay the
purchase price in two years.
