were trying to fly the scientists proved
time after time that flight was impos-

was actually accomplished, they proved
that airplanes would never be more
than dangerous toys-big, stable ones
couldn't be made-they'd be too heavy
to rise.
'Those scientists were like the old

BOARD AUTHORIZES
 SECOND AUXILIARY
 COUNTY BUILDING

Another step to solve the conges- tion in the county court house was taken on Saturday when the board of supervisors awarded Claude W. Cisney, local contractor. the contract to erect a one story frame structure on the west side of the court house plaza. The structure is to cost S655 and work on il will be started at once.
 The resolution to build the struc- ture was passed upon petition of Harry Peirce, county assessor. for more office room and the building when finished will be used by Mir. Peirce as an office from which to issue the automobile licenses for the county. It is expected the building will be completed in less than a month.
 Under the new state law govern ing the issuing of licenses for auto mobiles, each county is to receive the number plates and issue them in stead of the plates being issued by the office of the secretary of state, as in the past. The crowded condi- ton of the office of the county as sessor made it necessary to arrange for more office room and the wooden structure was authorized by the | board.
 A petition also has been presented | to the board by Edith Jacobs, county recorder. for more room. but tho | board has not taken definite actlor | in the matter yet. Just what ar- engagement will be made for Mis: Jacobs the board was unable to state | but intimated it would endeavor tI | find some plan to relieve the conges- ! ton in her office.
