bridges which have been washed away.
for the roadway leading to 1t will be
Strengthened for the purpose OF taking
out the curve on the west side OF Salt
Creek and this will necessitate plac-
ing the new bridge go feet farther north
than the old site, and therefore new
concrete roadway for length of sew
eral hundred feet will be required.
This new concreting will cost some
thing like 1920 making the total cost
of bridge and roadway Strengthening
$44.2 200. But this is state-govern-
ment proposition.
The curve Strengthening will be done
for several safety rcasons-it will be
safer for travellers OF the Trail thru
curve examinations. and at tho same
time make the railroad crossing safer
thru a better view Of the tracks from
the east side of them.
To do this Il will be necessary to run
the roadway over ground now occu-
pied by a house on tho north side of
the present roadway near the bank OF
Salt Creek: therefore that property has
to be condemned and paid for at ap-
praised value. Also the wigwaE sig
nal OF the railroad will have 10 be
moved.

usual approval
The baritone and bass duets of
Meyer and Croxton were OF high class.
given in clear. rounding tones. as were
the bass solos sung by Croxton, who
had a voice of an exceptionally deep
nature.
Fred Van Fps with banjo produced
marvellous music. The tones were
sounded as fast as his ten fingers
could form them, as he used all of his
fingers in many instances. When at
the climax of his last number. string
on the instrument snapped, but it was
only a matter OF minute until he
had replaced It with ono from his
pocket. and completed the number with
remarkable skill.
The Cohen style Of Monroe Silver
contiNually drew forth laughter. as
Silver told catchy stories and sang
clever songs.
Billy Murray. who introduced the
numbers on the program with witty
remarks, also presented several COM
ical and real laugh producing tenor
solos.
A piano does not contain as much
music as Frank Banta produced for
but few musicians.
A duet by Meyer and Banta on the
piano converted the instrument into a
player piano, as they had previouly
had the number recorded for such an
instrument.

Possibility of extending the East

The new high school will cover
the area from 18th to 18th and from
East Capitol to B street. The school
will accommodate $500 pupils. The
building will contain spacious

EXPECT LONG FIGHT
on REFUNDING BILL

Consideration Of the administration
refunding bill was begun yesterday, and
1t was apparent that there would be a
protracted fight.
The first days consideration of the
measure saw only the completion of the
opening statement by Senator McCum-
Der. as chairman of the finance COM
rnittee. who was subjected to a rapid
crossfire from the minority side
Discussion covered a wide range, in
Guiding use of proceeds from the re-
funded bonds to pay the soldier bonus
and the ability of the administration
with respect to the sale of some of the
refunded obligations in the United
States.
Pleading for broad authority for the
commission in conducting the refunding
negotiations, Senator McCumber said
he could conceive of situation where
it might be desirable to agree with a
debtor nation to fix the interest rate on
the bonds high enough to cover during
the life of the bonds the accumulated
interest.
Such plan was opposed by Senators
Simmons of North Carolina and Lenrott,
republican, Wisconsin.
Senator McCumber gave it as his
opinion that none of the proceeds
from the refunded foreign debt would
be available for the soldiers bonus
until within one year after next July
]. the date on which republican lead
ears nave Sa1u tne DOnuS would be
made effective.
Pointing out that the Secretary of
the Treasury, under the demand notes
now held by the United States, had
authority to collect interest, Senator
Hitchcock, democrat, Nebraska, sug-
gested that there was no Immediate
necessity for the proposed legislation.
Senator McCumber conteneded, how
ever, that the demand notes should
be refunded with interest rates and
other questions settled SO as to help
stabilize economic conditions over
seas. A similar argument was made
by Senator King. democrat, Utah.
Several amendments to the bill
were offered. among them one by
Senator Norris. republican, Nebraska
proposing to authorize the Secretary
of the Treasury alone to accept bonds
for tho obligations row held by the
United States "in accordance with the
law In force at the time such obliga-
tions were incurred"
