Five Bridge Bill
Defeated By The
S. D. Legislature

Pierre, Feb. 5.-ln spite OF favor
able advance indications the five
bridge program was defeated in
the house this afternoon. 1t was
an appropriation measure requir-
ing 6S affirmative votes and only re
ceived AZ affirmative votes. There
were so votes in oposition. The
plan as outlined involved no taxat-
ion additional to the special bridge
levy of one-tenth TO a mill now in
operation. 1t merely involved ant
icipation of the levy proceeds for
the purpose of building five bridg-
es across the Missouri river within
the next three years. Engineering
and accounting statistics gave as
surance that the bridge bonds, pri.
ncipal and interest, could be retir-
ed out of the existing special levy
within period Of nine years. The
total cost of the five bridges, ac-
cording to figures of the state bri-
dge engineer, would be lesn than
two million dollars and part of this
could be met from the federal aid
fund.
Supporters of the measure con-
tended that it was the greatest sin
gle project ever presented tor the
development of the state, and that
it would not add one penny to ex-
isting taxes. They said no one had
proposed abolition of the special
bridge levy and that it probably
would be continued in any event.
The only question, they said, was
one of getting the bridges rs soon
as possible and having the use o;
them or waiting 10 to Is years
with recurring controversies as to
bridge sites. --e.. "a,
Only two members spoke in op-
position to the bill. with at least

and the vote was surprise to rhe
various bridge committees. After
the defeat of the bill motion was
made for reconsideration and this
will come up tomorrow 1t is not
the intention to make another eff
fort to pass the five bridge bill,
but the measure will be amended
to providing for building one brid-
ge as a time as the funds from the
special levy are available. The bo-
nd provision will be eliminated. A
plan has been formulated for ar
advance caucus to decide the order
in which the bridges shall be built
with gcntlemen's agreement to
the effect that all sites will con-
form to the result Of the caucus.
This system if approved will per-
nit construction work to be start
ed on two bridges within the next
two years. Site application; are

THUNDER AND HEAVY
RAINS, HAIL, W|NTRy
BLASTS, IN "a HOURS

Annapolis has experienced practic
ally every variety of weather during
the past "a hours. 1t seems that win
ter will just not get out of the lap OF
spring. A series Of thunderstorms
passed over the city during the after
noon and early evening. The storms
were accompanied by torrential rains
that continued in IN y
throughout the night.
During the early morning hours
there was heavy rain of hail. This
caused a decided drop in temperature
but fruits are not thought to have
been damaged by the pellets. The
mercury early this morning register
ed around the 40-degree mark. 1t will
continue cool tonight, but tomorrow
the temperature will rise, and there
will be clear skies, too, according to
the weather forecast.
Last nights rain came as a blessing
to farming interests, as early crops
were being greatly retarded because
of lack of moisture.

A. HIS. SENIOR CLASS
GIVES PERFORMANCE
OF FAMOUS COMEDY

The Senior girls of the Annapolis
High School, last evening presented
1.-The Rivals" the famous comedy by
Richard Sheridan. This masterpiece
of the eighteenth century was very
well acted, and the attractive cos
tunes added even more to the success
of the performance.
Eleanor Owings, as the deaf Bob
Acres, took the part excellently and
the audience was kept in gales of
laughter whenever she made her ap.
pearance Tempa Russell, as Sir An.
thony Absolute, was fine and carried
the difficult parts of splendidly. Mrs.
Malaprop, as portrayed by Louise
Glow, was most charming, and her
misuse of words very comical. Mar.
garet Hill, as the much-sought-after
Lydia, took the part most effectively.
In fact. all the actors were so good n
is needles to melton them all in detail
The quick change of scenes was due
to Richard Williams. Bird Duckett
and Charles Crandall.
To Miss Miriam Dryden should 60
much credit, for the success Of "The
Rivals" was due to her untiring ef
forts and her hard work in coaching
and producing the play. The lovely
furnishings for the interior scenes
were loaned by the Globe Furniture
Company, and added much to the eff
fectiveness of the decorations.
Wallace Hambruch. a former stu
dent Of the High School displayed his
artistic talent in the touching up the
scenery used during the play. His
work added greatly to the old Eng
lish settings.
The High School Orchestra played
during the evening performance and
Lucille Purdie rendered several selec
tions in the afternoon.

WATER SITUATION
GREATLY IMPROVED
Storage~Reservoirs Again Filled
And Certain Restrictions Have
Been Lifted

Repairs TO the impounding dams OF
the Annapolis Water Company's plant
have now reached such a state that
the rigid precautionary restrictions
as 10 the use of water have been lift
ed. This announcement was made to
day by William H. Moss, president OF
the Water Company.
During the emergency that arose
when the dams were either washed
out or badly damaged by the cloud.
burst OF two weeks ago, consumers of
water were requested to economize in
all directions, especially as to wash.
ing automobiles and sprinkling lawns.
Plenty of water has been pumped dur.
ing the last few days, and there is an
ample supply again in the storage
reservoirs. While the situation has
greatly improved, consumers are ask.
ed. however, not to be extravagant.
Improvements Up To Council
Through an inadvertence a para
graph was omitted from the report of
President Moss, published in yester-
days issue of The Capital, in which
he discussed proposed permanent I'm
provements at the water works The
elipsus was:
Whatever is done must emanate
from the City Council, as the Board of
Directors of the Water Company are
only a managing body. with full
power to manage, but very limited
power to spend money for improve
ments."
