Engineer Explains
Extra Cost of Road
Concrete Pavement Would Call for
Some Additional Expenditures
Is Opinion of Crehore

During a discussion of the pro-
posed paving of the streets of Fal-
Ion, at the meeting of the chamber
Clark stated that number of eiti-
zens had inquired as to the total
expense of the paving, with govern
ment aid He said that many peo-
pie were of the opinion that the
cost of laying the paving would be
a small item compared with the to-
tai expense of moving the water
mains and sewer systems. City En-
gineer Crehore stated that:
1.-The water mains in this city are
laid on one side of the street, while
the sewers are in the center. For
this reason it would not be neces-
sary to relay the water mains on
Williams avenue or Main street and
probably not on Center or East
streets, except where interseeting
mains connect and fire hydrants
take off to the pavement side of the
street. On Saltwater avenue the To-
cation of the water mains are such
that they would either have to be
replaced by cast iron, or else moved
to a new location in the street where
they would not be under the pave
ment.
'In the case of sewer mains they
would not have to be disturbed or
altered, except that a connection
should be run to the property line
of each lot not already connected.
"In future should the sewer sys-
tenn as at present installed be found
inadequate they would probably in
any case whether paving were laid
or not, be relieved by intersepting
sewers which would perform to a
greater or lesser degree the double
functions of trunk lines and main
laterals. 1t would also be well in
the matter of sewers to put in man
holes at all street intersections
where they are not already in, and
in all cases to extend connections to
these man-holes beyond the edge of
the pavement to provide for future
growth as outlined"
Crehore added that neither storm
sewers or curbs and cutters will be
demanded by the state highway peo-
pie if suitable surface drainage is
provided and the unpaved portion
of the road is brought up to grade.

points,

Pittman Asks Senate
To Delay zap Treaty
Maintains Neutral Attitude Toward
Ratifying Pact But Would Have
Action Deferred

While maintaining neutral at
titude toward the zap treaty, Sena-
tor Key Pittman of Nevada, sug-
gested in a speech on the floor of
the Senate last Friday that action
be deferred until I'VE have deter
mined our naval policy and our pol
icy with regard to alliances affect
ing the Pacific and the Far East,
according to press dispatches of Fri
day.
No definite stand for or against
the treaty was taken by the Nevada
senator, the dispatches continue, al
though he declared that by its ac-
ceptance the United States would
lose the interest it now has in the
sovereignty over Yap while the
absolute and executive sovereignty
by Japan would be confirmed" He
also attacked Senator Lodges decla-
ration in the senate that Americans
and Japanese would have entirely
equal rights on the island, and quot
ed the treaty to show that equality
was to exist ''only in regard to all
that relates to the landing and op-
Grafton of cables"
Similar rights regarding radio fa-
cilities, Mr.. Pittman said, could not
be exercised so long as an efficient
radio station was maintained on the
island by Japan.
"Our press associations" >" contin-
ued the Nevada senator "have long
been complaining that they could
not get adequate service through
the electrical communication con-
trolled by Japan. 1t is true Japan
contracts to conduct such service eff
fectively. but il in our opinion, she
fails to do this what action shall be
taken? Who would settle the dis
pute? Would it be settled under
the four-power treaty."
Senator Pittman also quoted the
fertilization article of the naval
treaty and asserted that II the SEN
ate ratified this treaty 1--WE will
have, in my apinion, abandoned our
influence and our commerce TO the
Far East"

GRAY, REID & COMPANY
FILES SUIT FOR $1I24
ALLEGED DUE ON NOTE

Suit for $1124.7S was filed by
Carl Dodge in the name of the Gray,
Reid & Company store against A. e.
Grinnell Saturday. The complaint
states that the sum is due on prom
issory notes, made by the defendant
to the paintiff.
The first cause of action, accord
ing to the complaint, is a promis-
sorry note made in June, 1920, for
$166, on which no payment has
been made. In January, 1921, the
plaintiff charges, second note was
made for s125S, on which payments
amounting to S22245 have been
made. 1t is also stated that two
other notes for twenty dollars each
were given in June and July of
1921.

l believe that 1t is perfectly fair
and any one disagreeing with these
figures should come forward and
give figures, and where sufficient
data is presented. the figures will
be changed to meet conditions.
The points mentioned will give
any grower an opportunity of figur-
ing for himself at what cost 1t will
be possible for him to produce can't

ed above should not run much high

cost mentioned, or that of plowing.
which includes the leveling. is TAX
en- for land that is already In good
level condition. In other words,
$3.50 should cover the cost of the
work up to the time of planting
The cost for seed should run
around $500 per acre, which Is one
and one-half pounds of seed, which
can be purchased locally.
Papers this season should cost
$3.50 per thousand, which is the
latest quotation from Zellerbach
Paper Company of Sacramento.
One thousand papers are sufficient
for one acre as ordinarily planted
here. This makes total of $1,000,
which is approximately one and one
quarter cents additional per crate.
This still leaves the cost of pro-
duction under so cents per crate.

Those who believe In a Greater

seems, therefore, that a few figures
on production costs will be much in
order and will give the growers an
other angle from which to figure the
crop industry.
These figures are taken from the
expenses of last season on a basis
of cost of some of the older sec
tions in the cantaloupe industry:

The story of the operetta is as

The Queen Mother is sitting spin
ming in the palace and prieks her
finger. She leans out the window
and as the blood on the snow and
the black of the window sill make
such a contrast she wishes that she
had a daughter with black hair,
snow white skin and cheeks and
lips red like blood. A fairy appears
and tells her that her wish shall be
granted but that she must die at
the birth of her daughter.
The next scene discovers Snow
White a lonely, abused child, hated
by her stepmother, the wicked
Queen. The Queen has magic
mirror which she consults as to who
is the most beautiful. The mirror
declares that Snow White is the
most beautiful in all the world. The
Queen enraged determines to get
rid of her and has the Chief Hunts
man carry her off into the forest to
III
Snow White in the forest thinking
that the wild beasts will kill her.
She wanders to the cabin of the
Seven Dwarfs and keeps house for
them. They tell her to beware of
her stepmother, the Wicked Queen
and tell her to let no one in while
they are away.
The Queen consults her mirror
and finds that Snow White still lives
and she disguises herself and goes
to the home of the Seven Dwarfs
and tries to kill her, and is appar-
emily successful. The Seven Dwarfs
keep Snow White in their cabin as
she appears to be in a deep sleep.
A royal hunting party comes to the
cabin and the Prince gets permission
to take the body of Snow White
with him. In moving the support
they awaken Snow White. She and
the Prince fall In love with each
other and they send herald all
through the kingdom to gather ev-
cry one to the wedding and espec-
tally the wicked Queen. The Dwarfs
put the magic shoes on the Queen
which compel her to keep on dane
ing until she dies.
The scene ends in a full chorus
who sing the Hail, Hall, Hail! to
the Prince and Snow White.
