S. WATER SEWER
FUNDS USED UP
$2129 Appropriated Is En-
tirely Gone With Work
Half Completed

With the appropriation of $2128,
made by the City Commission for the
South Water street intercepting sew
er entirely gone, the work on the
sewer is just half completed, it was
announced Monday by Commissioner
Stebbins. The rest of the work will
have to be financed by loan, it is said.
Unexpected difficulties encountered
are largely responsible for the un-
expectedly high cost of building the
sewer, the commissioner said. He
also added that the estimates were
lower than they should have been.
A. G. Shoecraft, former city engineer
of Flint, who was here a few days
ago and looked the job over, told the
commission that the estimate on the
cost of excavation was at least 25
cents per cubic yard too low and eX-
pressed the opinion that with the diff
ficulties being encountered, the cost
of the sewer was not excessive.
The estimate on the cost of the
tile was based on sincle-strength tile,
and afterward it was learned that
double-strength tile had to be used.
This cost almost twice the amount
figured on.
While the commissioner expected
to encounter some water, the amount
actually found has been several times
what was expected.
The sewer is 16 feet deep and the
trench is five feet wide, to make it
possible to get the "a inch tile in.

Another lad, seventeen, from a small town
upstate, handsome lad of wealth and posi-
ton who vibrates personality, spent several
hours frankly discussing the fapper. That is
one of the astounding things about this whole
fapper business, the frankness with which
the boy of to-day will discuss her-with older
folks we'll with other boys. 1t is not
matter of making confidant of some one,
but just discussion. 1t is considered no breach
of honor for group of boys to sit around
and catalogue the girls they know those
who will be "petted," those who will be
"necked" (the fine distinction in "necked" and
"petted' is still mystery to me) and to
what degree.
They discuss the characteristics Of the girls
with the same frankness and impersonal man
ner they use in discussing the qualifications Of
a ball player. The most intimate things are
topics of conversation. Not only the methods
of what in my days was called "spooning" but

Of some flapper he
likes. AS near as | can
understand it, any flap
per will do for the in
itial kiss--the only re-
quirement is that he
likes her.
He already has the
frankness of the young
er set in discussing
life; voices his desires
to me without blush or
hesitancy, which is, Of
course, as I wish it, for
l have a feeling that as
long as things are
frankly discussed be-
tween US just so long is
he safe. Already he
has completely mas
tered the vocabulary of
the flapper, the topper
and the shifter.
He is in a prep school
for boys where the ages
range from twelve to
twenty. The younger
boys watch every move
of the old and build
their ideals and con-
versation on the atti-
tude Of their elders
toward girls at the
dances, the meets and
the ball games. They
have all the older boys
catalogued, those who
are "neckers" and sue
cessful; those who
would be "neckers" ana
unsuccessful. T h e y
know the boys who are
seriously in love and
distinguish them from
the more topper.

cussed his plans for

Summer time, my boy
has been on a farm In
the White Mountains,
where he has entered
the life Of the COM
munity by singing in
the choir; taking up the
collection and, as near
as I can learn, by at
tending every dance
and buying ice cream
cones for the entire
party with money he
has earned by raking
hay, or hoeing potatoes,
or milking cows. Girls
have been his comrades.
Nothing more.

His psychology Is an

should Judge him at

life Is the fapper whom
he allows all sorts Of

GEORGE GRAHAM RICE
SPENDS NIGHT In PRISON

A New York dispatch to a San
Francisco paper Monday stated that
George Graham Rice, who recently
left San Francisco for New York,
had been surrendered to the court
by his bondsman and gave a new
bond Of $4,000 after spending a
night in the Tombs. Rice left New
York two years ago after conviction
of grand larceny in stock transac-
tion. from which he appealed. His
bond was fixed at $4,000. Rice
came direct to Reno from New York
and organized a company to exploit
the Broken Hills mine. After several
months In Nevada he went to San
Francisco and in a short time be-
came involved in difficulties with the
state corporation commissioner
Later he went to Salt Lake City to
promote Bingham-Galena and again
encountered obstacles. He then re-
turned to San Francisco and tried to
get back in the game but met with
too much opposition. An echo Of his
operations was the suspension from
the San Francisco stock exchange
two weeks ago of G. e. Arrowsmith,
through whom Rice traded.

FEDERAL ROAD WORK
TO BE ADMINISTERED
FROM SAN FRANCISCO

The state OF Nevada in the carry
ing out of its Forest Service road
program has been transferred from
the Ogden to the San Francisco
District of the Bureau of Public
Roads. Under the rules and regula-
tions recently promulgated by the
Secretary of Agriculture for admin
tering the funds for Forest road
work carried in the Federal High
way Act this work is handled joint
ly by the Forest Service and the Bu-
reau of Public Roads. The State
Highway Department in each case,
however. must initiate the project.
The transfer of this State TO the San
Francisco District, through which
Office all other federal-aid work is
handled, will greatly expedite this
class of work and will result in
closer supervision and more eco
nomical administrations, both by the
government and the state.
