NEW YORK - The late
and not much lamented
German opera, which was
hissed. egged and finally
boycOtted out Of existence

resolution drawn up by
the State headquarters OF
The American Legion.
The gist OF the resolu-
ton is the following para

Good music, whether 70
be Wagner, Straus or
Sodss, cannot and should
not be killed-and any -
tempt TO suppress II is
bound tC fail. At the same

sic as a cloak for German
propaganda and as a set
ting for the placing Of
German kulture before the
public In It's most favora-
bic light must be opposed.
German guilt must not be
minimized by either music
or fair words"
The resolution expresses
the opinion that
THE Amei can Legion
condemns any attempt at
this time to resume rela-
tionship with German ac-
tivilies and lends i.' innu-
ence against the resump-
ton Of German opera, in

MlNOT'S 100000 GALLON RES
ERV0IR MAY SOON BE READY

Waterproofing of the interior Of the
city's 5000, 900 reservoir on the South
Hill, has been completed, the interior
having been given two coats Of as
phalt paint in hopes that the leaks
may be stopped. The waterworks
department has begun filling the res.
ervoir as test. Twice before the
reservoir was tested, but each time
leaked. All around the huge struc.
ture cracks appeared shortly after II
was completed and experts say they
are due to the expansion of the steel
rods which extend thru the concrete
work of the reservoir. There is but
little expansion to the concrete. The
contractors, Bartelson & Ness, have
tried to stop the leaks and have ex'
pended considerable money in doing
Sc. While they have been paid a
large part of the contract price, $780,
600, the city is amply protected BY
the bonding company, as the city dads
very wisely put in proviso in the
contract that the reservoir when com
pleted should be watertight. Once
the reservoir is completed and put in
to use, the insurance rates in Mino,
will be decreased to such an extenl
that the saving will pay for the struc'
ture within seven years.
