INNOVATIONS TO Be HAD IN
TWO new COUNTY LAWS
Commissioners Ordered County Or.
dinances Drawn Regulatory OF
Roads and Grazing

The county commissioners met
yesterday and gave official recogni-
tion to the Importance of regulating
the width of the tires of wagons OPP
Grated on the county's roads. Heavy
loads and narrow tires, it is asserted,
have done much to handicap the
county executives in maintaining
the thoroughfares of this county and
the district attorney was ordered to
draw an ordinance limiting the
weights that hay be hauled as fol-
lows: on wagons having tires two
inches or less in width, 400 pounds
per inch: tires of from two to five
inches in width 400 pounds per inch
of width, plus so pounds for each
inch of width in excess of two inches !;
tires five inches in width, $50
pounds per inch of width; for tires
greater in size than five inches, $50
pounds per inch of width plus 20
pounds for each inch of excess
width. And 1t is to be further pro-
vided that wagons having wheels
three feet or more in diameter may
be loaded with an additional so
pounds of weight for each inch of
tire width The proposed ordinance
is to be fashioned after the state law
of Washington and is to be yigor-
ously enforced This ordinance will
also regulate the operation of tract
ors and other heavy pieces of moving
mechanism. which may have wheel
gouges for traction purposes not
greater than one-half an inch in
length and cannot weigh more than
"a 600 pounds.
Co-incident with the drawing of
this county law the district attorney
will also prepare one which APPROX
ed will mean the practical annull-
ment of the privilege of stock graz
ing on the highways of this valley.
The commissioners yesterday af-
firmed the project of establishing a
road along the section line one
fourth of a mile east of the eastern
boundary of this city provided the
petitioning stockmen succeed in per-
suading the southgn Pacific rail
road company officials to move the
stockyards from the present loea-
ton to near the sugar factory.
An award was made to J. B. Sui
livan for the construction of a coun-
ty machine shop and storehouse on
the county's real estate near the
court house for $4,000, less about
$4,000, the countys share of in
stalling concrete piers for the build
ing.

SNOWFALL ON THE SUMMIT Is
REPORTED VERY HEAVY

The latest official measurements
of the snow at Summit, which
reached the Office of the United
States weather bureau, disclose a
more encouraging situation than has
obtained since the early storms OF
last December. says the Gazette.
When the measurement was taken,
the snow covered the ground to a
depth of eighty-two inches. I'M
mediately after the storm abated,
the snow mantel was eighty-five
inches deep but settled in few
hours to the present depth
The approximate water content OF
the new snow, according to weather
bureau estimates, is five and one
half inches, bringing the total water
content at the present time to 3l.1f,
which, although short as compared
to last year by eight inches, is in the
neighborhood of that of the entire
season of 1918.
The official report of the recent
storms shows a snowfall of thirty
five inches in the four days between
March Is and March II and total
snowfall of sixty-nine inches since
March ist. Preparations now are
being made for final observations IN
the various water sheds of the dis
trict. These will be taken during
the first part Of April.
Beyond a trace of rain at San
Francisco, there was no precipita-
ton in the Pacific Coast region dur
ing the twenty-four hours up to fiye
O'Clock this morning. There was
practically no precipitation anywhere
in the United States except at Sai'
Lake City.

That the officials of this city are
thoroughly alive to the needs of the
community of which they are the
executive heads is amply proven by
projects inaugurated during late
days which are now in the hands of
City Engineer l.. w. Crehore for
consummation. These include city
swimming pool which is to be con-
structed within the John Oats city
park and made ready for use in time
to afford bathing privilege during
the warm summer months. Mr.. Gre
hore, acting under the instructions
of the council is preparing plans for
a tank so by 100 feet in size, in
which the water will have a varying
depth OF from two to six feet. The
tank is to be concreted, bottom and
sides, and will be inclosed. A care
taker will be on hand during the af-
ternoon hours of each day to see
that swimming sport is carried on
under conditions of absolute safety.
1t will be remembered in this con-
nsetion that a public subscription
movement for a municipal swimming
tank was launched last summer by
Miss Mildred Dunford and others of
the active, public spirited young
ladies of the town. AS result of
their efforts the sum of $36S was
raised and additional subscriptions
-
put forward that will raise the
amount available for the purpose
from this source to $465.
The city engineer Is also working
on plans for the city's proposed au-
tomobile tourist camping ground.
The council members contemplate
the erection of camp kitchen eight
by Is feet in size which will be
equipped with water, electrical and
sewerage connections and it is
planned to install electric cooking
stoves for the convenience of people

That Fallon has taken rank with
the leading shipping points on South
ern Pacific railroad lines In the west
is proven by the statement that the
local station force has dispatched
400 cars of baled alfalfa to eastern
and western points since January
1st of this year This is by far the
greatest volume of freight that has
ever gone forward from this point
in corresponding period and repre-
sents a substantial part of the pro-
ject's approximately 100000 tons of
1919 alfalfa production which has
thus been turned into cash and di-
verted into the community trade bal
ance.
During the first three weeks of
this month the local station force

who will include Fallon within their
automobiling itinerary. The camp
ground is to be established in the
southwest corner of the city park
and will be ready for use in time to
accommodate the traffic movement
during the early months of the COM
ing summer.
Another task. that mas deyolved
upon Mr.. Crehore is the drawing of
plans and specifications for the new
septic tank that will be the second
unit in the city's sewerage disposal
system As projected this tank VIII
be of depth of "a feet and of a di-
ameter of "a feet and 1t will pro-
vide means for caring for the sew
erage of population Independent
of the unit now in use estimated at
5000 people. The present tanks
limit has been reached, 1t Is assev-
Grated, which means that the COM
bined facilities of the two tanks will
probably amply care for Fallon's
need until the towns population has
passed the 5000 mark. The new
tank will be constructed just west
of the one now in use and prelimi-
nary work has already been insti-
tuted.
Mr. Crehore estimates that the
new tank will cost the city's tax
payers approximately $4,000 and
that it will be ready for use within
60 days from now. The necessary
structural steel and concrete has al
ready been ordered.
The projects enumerated sense
the keenest appreciation of the city's
officials of community need and ev-
cry public spirited taxpayer will
give sanction to the plan to rush
them to an early maturity, for they
all have to do with what may prop
erly be termed urgent requirement.

BOY ATTEMPTS ESCAPE

A peanut, candy and general "eats

Industry when the school staff and
the pupils celebrated the ann'yers-

by the school board at its regular
meeting Tuesday night. Not only

the teachers Of what they may es-
pect for the period ahead of them
and the bonuses will act as an In
ducement to remain thruout the
school year. The board has had the
experience this year Of losing teach
ers in the middle Of the school year.
with scarcely no notice, because the
shortage Of teachers causes other
cities to outbid this city in salaries.

The formal resolution adopted by
the board Is us. follows:
BE 1t resolved. that the teachers
committee prepare a schedule for the
new contracts to include:
First, basis salary for each GAS
OF teachers in the schools.

piled to the amount of salary re-
ceived by each teacher who COM
