SUN SHONE 3G7 HOURS OF POSSIBLE IA IN lI;;l,ONTH JUST CLOSED

Probably the most notable feature of the weather for August, 1920, was the delightfully."- cool period covering the last seven days. Lower tempera- lures have occurred during previous Augusts but such prolonged cool was two and half degrees cooler than the average of past years. Afternoon temperatures averaged 99,9 degrees. the hottest day being the 9th, with 10S degrees, while the average for the early morning was 7S1 degrees, the coolest morning being the 27th. with 63.5 degrees.
 Three quarters of an inch of rain fell less than a third the amount for August 1919. while the average for the past 25 years is Los inches. Measur-= able precipitation fell on nine days. the shower on the 24th being the heaviest of the month. Thunderstorms were noted on II days. Twenty four days were classed as clear. six as part cloudy and one as cloudy. The sun shone total of 367 hours out of pos sible 414 hours, doing rather better than the average for August. The hardest wind Of the month, s miles per hour. came on the 18th.
 Relative humidity was slightly higher than the normal averaging 6e per cent at a. m., A at noon, and 32 at D. m.
 It has been said that the hot weather Of the summer is past but that is hard ly probable. Warm weather is prob able for several weeks longer. Phoenix .has had temperatures up to 112 degrees in September and 105 degrees in Oc- tober The change will be more mo- ticeable in the cooler nights which usu- ally may be depended upon after the middle of September and the coo4or days little later. At least the worst of the summer is past and the beauti- ful fall weather ahead.

NOTHING TO MAR K. OF C.
OUTING; ENJOYED BY MANY

The excursion of the knights OF
Columbus with st. Mary's Parish
held yesterday up the Hudson with
a stop at Palisades Park was n Of
the most successful v e conducted
by the church and knights. The day
although being hot was enjoyed by
all both on board the steamer Grand
Republic that took the excursionists
out from here in the morning and
at the park 1t was 10 o'clock last
night that the steamer docked here
at the city dock and the 5000 ex-
'c~ursionists tired out were seen TO
wend their way homeward after the
day spent on the water and shore.
The affair was a huge financial sue
cess. Everything was sold out on
the boat before this city was reached
on the return trip. Those who liked
dancing enjoyed the pleasure both
going and coming and at the park.
The music for the dancing on the
boat was furnished by Fred O'Brien's

GOVERNOR SUSTAINED IN
OUSTIAG HIGHWAY BOARD

TRENTON. July IL. - Governor
Edwards Vas sustained in his recent
removal of the State Highway Com
mission and in his action in making
al interim appointments, as well as
In calling a special session Of the
state senate for July % to confirm
them, in an opinion given today TO
Senate President Clarence f. Case
by Attorney General Thomas f.
McCran. The senate's presiding Of
hcer had asked the attorney genera;
whether the governor had power to
make ad interim appointments to
the highway commission during the
period OF time between the COM
mencement of the legislative year
and final adjournment OF the legis-
lature, and whether the governor had
the power to call the senate in
special session at the present time.
Not only are all the queries of Case
were in favor of the executives
actions. but he attorney general also
the question what will hap
pen II the Republican senate fails
to confirm Mr.. Edwards new high
way board appointees. The opinion
avs that If the senate refuses to
confirm the appointments to be sent
to 1t by the governor on July 81,
then the ad interim appointees will
continue to serve until the next
session OF the legislature.
Mr.. McCran said that the present
board is a de facto commission
capable Of functioning as such until
commissioners "of right are named.
AS to the power of the governor
10 convene the legislature or the
senate alone whenever in his opinion
public necessity requires it, the at
torney general said the constitution
Is SO plain that he has no doubt but
tnat n governor has the authority
10 call the senate in session as he
has done in the present instance.
Discussing the power of the rover
nor to summarily remove any or all
members of the original highway
commission. the attorney general,
said this power OF removal is of
a nature as justifes me in
assuming that the Legislature which
created the state highway commits
sion intended to confer upon the
governor authority to act in an
executive capacity, with reference to
removals. The word summary
has reference to the method
OF procedure. 1t means among other
things. immediate, peremptory. off,
hand, without ceremony or delay"
Under this language as to the mean
ing of summary. the attorney general
holds that the governor was UNI
questionably within his p~owerswhen
he ousted the original board. :.
The new members, whose names
the governor will likely send to the
state senate for confirmation on the
9th instant. are George L. Burton.

CANNON HOME, POLITICS
LIKELY TO Be BUzz|NG SOON

County Clerk Bernard NJ. Cannon,
one of the delegates to the Democratic
national convention from this
district, arrived home from San
Francisco last night. tired but con-
tented - Governor Cox's selection
having pleased him greatly. When
interviewed this morning about his
trip the Judge, as he is better
known throughout the county, said
he could not tell anything about the
convention which the newspapers
had not already published so gave
a short account of his side trips on
the return trip.
Salt Lake City, Colorado Springs,
Pixies Peak, Kansas City and Chicago
were all visited by Nj. Cannon, his
son Jack. and Charles A. Reynolds.
who accompanied the delegate on
the trip.
Now that the county Democratic
leader is back in the city it is
probable hat some activity in that
party in preparation for the coming
primaries and election will be seen.
One of the first things which will be
considered will be the matter of
holding the annual excursion of the
Democrats at which time it is
customary to launch the various
booms for candidates.
