STATE ROAD WORK is
TO BE BoRDEN'S SUBJECT

George w. Borden chief highway
engineer for Nevada, went to Reno
recently in response to an invitation
to address the Progressive Business
Club at the regular luncheon. The
Gazette reported his talk as fol-
lows:
with $545,000 in road building
contracts now under way and with
contracts pending that will bring
the road program to over $1,000
600 after May 81, the state high
way department is building roads
under full steam, George w. Bor-
den, state highway engineer, told
the members of the Progressive
Business club at the noon luncheon
today.
"He said that present contracts
call for the construction of eighty
four miles of highway and that
preliminary plans for $50 miles
have been completed and will soon
be ready to let to contractors.
Plans are also being made for the
construction of LAP miles more of
which forty-two will probably be
included in this years program and
100 in the 1928 program. In 1928
about 100 miles will be built, it is
estimated.
Before the end of the year near
ly $2,000,000 worth of highway
construction will be under way or
completed to which the state of
Nevada contributes about 1920, 900,
he said.
He explained that so far the
highway department, operating on
definite budget, was $4,000 un-
der the budget for this year.

SEXTON To BUILD
RAIL WAY LINE

The reconstruction of a new
railway line in Nevada which will
open rich mining districts in the
northwestern part of the state will
be started within a short time, ac-
cording to announcement received
a few days ago from j. E. Sexton
of Palisade, general manager of
the Eureka Nevada railway COM
pany. The road will start from
Reynard, Washoe county, on the
Western Pacific line, and will ex-
tend SO miles in a northwesterly di-
rection to a point near the Cali
fornia-Nevada line at the southwest
corner of Modoc county, Calf. The
construction work will start as soon
as weather conditions permit, ac-
cording to Sections announcement.
New York and Chicago people
will be interested in the construc-
ton of the road with Sexton.
The new railroad which will be
30-inch guage, will be the narrow
est guage line in the United States,
outside of three roads in the state
of Maine which are of two foot
guage.
The road will be run through
Buffalo canyon after crossing the
Black Rock desert and will be util-
lied for the transportation of min
ers' and mine and agricultural pro-
ducts.
1t will not be operated during
the months of January, February
and March of the first ten years
after its completion, because of the
high waters in Buffalo canyon. The
act of the last legislature in grant
ing the right to construct the road
gives permission for this lapse of
service.

SCHOOL BOARD Levy
UPHELD BY STATE
Court OF APPEALS
When Board Of Education Asks for
Certain Tax Levy for School Pur-
poses Fiscal Court Must Make
That Levy, Says Court.

Frankfort, KY, Oct. 24.-The fiscal
court Of a county cannot refuse to
make a tax levy for the maintenance
of its common school when the levy Is
demanded by the county board of edu-
cation accompanied by a budget con-
tanning the information and estimated
needs of the schools as required by a
school act Of 1920, providing for ad
valorem and capitalization taxes.
This opinion was handed down to-
day by the court of appeals in affirm
ing the judgment of the Jefferson cir
cult court in the case of the fiscal
court of Jefferson county against the
Jefferson county board of education.
In 1921 the board OF education Of
Jefferson county submitted its budget
to the fiscal court of the county with
the recommendation that 50-cent ad
valorem tax and 81 capitation tax
be made to meet tho needs of the coun-
ty common schools for the succeeding
year. The fiscal court made the ad
valorem tax, but declined to levty the
capitation tax, and as result the
board of education secured a writ
of mandamus to compel the fiscal court
to levy the capitation tax.
"a board of education" the appel
late court said, 'is the sole Judge OF
the needs of the schools and when It
submits to the fiscal court the detailed
budget required by the act of 1920 that
court has no discretion in the matter,
but must make the levy demanded by
the board, provided it is within the
constitutional and statutory limits.
That in the opinion of the fiscal court
the demands of the board of education
are excessive or exorbitant, is not
sufficient to justify a refusal to make
the levy"

Over Country.

During the week OF October 20 to
80, the national Good Health" move
ment will be actively promoted. Mod
ern developments in sanitation, ventil-
alton and personal hygiene will be
brought prominently to the public's
attention. Foremost among means OF
sanitation and hygiene is the modern,
scientifically designed water closet,
and today's methods of safe disposal
OF domestic sewage
Fortunately the number OF city
dwellings without water closets is fast
diminishing. Yet, too many homes,
otherwise refined to a nicely, remain
dependent upon plumbing fixtures
which are behind the march Of prog
ress from ten to twenty years.
The unmistakable noises from an
old-fashioned water closet have en-
barrassed more than one hostess -
time and again. Probably no moro en-
barrassing situation ever occurs than
this, which has only one remedy-get
rid of the nuisance.
Although the embarrassment caused
by an ancient, noisy closet is sufficient
reason for installing modern, silent
fixtures, there are other reasons far
more important, which directly AFFECT
health. Most OF these old fixtures are
really insanitary to a perilous degree
