The finance board will present the
budget for the coming year at pub

/, of the toFn Monday evening at
o'clock, standard time, in the town
hall. The list of expenditures for
the past year will be read together
with. the proposed budget All re-
quests for further appropriations or
questions ON the proposed budget VIII
be taken care Of at this time.
The most important increase in the
budget of this year will be one of
$4,000 for schools. For ordinary ex-
penses the increase will be but $4,000.
Added to this is $4,000 for High
school tuition. One of the big rea-
sons for the increase in the school
budget from about $4,000, as was
shown last year, to over 100000,
which is shown ON this years budget.
is the desire of the school board to
install new heating plants in the
Hubbard and Kensington schools.
The heating plants in those buildings
at the present time arc not satisfac-
tory, being old and consuming a large
amount of coal. 1t is the opinion
that if new plants are installed the
coal expenses can be kept down and
the results will be better.
Another reason for the increase is
that sanitary toilets will be. installed
in all schools where running water
is available. The toilets in the schools
now are out of doors and are far
from modern.

desirious of securing statistics on the
divorce situation and has requested
report from the various county clerks

mill work overtime, year In and
year out, the task of compiling the

SNOW FOLLOWS
ZERO WEATHER

The cold snap which has held this
section firmly In its grip for the
past two weeks, broke Wednesday
night, the thermometer climbing at
least twenty-five points or to about
freezing point. A wind brought
storm clouds and yesterday snow be-
gan falling again.
Last Saturday was about the cold
est day recorded here during the
present winter, when the thermomet-
er droped to ten degrees below zero.
For over a week, while clear weather
prevailed, the sun had little effect on
frozen snow and then only for an
hour or so In the afternoons. While
the cold spell was not as severe as
the one of last winter, 1t has been
sufficient to stagnize business and
things in this community have been
practically at standstill for the past
week or ten days. People are not
leaving their homes only when 1t be-
comes absolutely necessary, because
of the cold and bad roads.

TOCIVE OPERETTA

Under the auspices of the Junior
class, the Stewart Indian School is
going to present an operetta, "The
Feast of the Red Corn" at the Doug.
las County High School auditorium
on Monday night, February twelfth.
The people of Carson Valley have
never had an opportunity to see what
the Indian pupils can do In dramatics
SO the Junior class anticipates a
large crowd.
This operetta has been given at
Stewart on January third, and Mr.
David NJ Thomas, principal of the
Indian School. informed US that 1t
was a great success, people coming
from Carson and Reno to see 1t.

cents for adults and twenty-five cents
for children with a small charge
extra for dancing.

support them as heartily in this
undertaking as they have previously
supported high school activities.

HEAVY SNOW AND COLD SPELL
GENERAL OVER NEVADA

The heavy snowfall and low tenn
peratures of the past week were se-
we're on stock, says H. F. Alps, in his
weekly summary on weather and
range conditions.
The report says; MANY bands of
sheep trailed northward during
the first three weeks in January be-
cause of the scarcity of water on the
desert range and mild weather. Most
Of these bands of sheep were in their
way south to the lower ranges near
the close of the month when the snow
started and there was a change to
cold weather. The deep snow and
zero temperatures caused stock to
suffer considerably, and some losses
were reported to sheep in the hills
The weekly mean temperature was
about twenty below normal. The
lowest temperature was eight degrees
below zero at Reno and Winnemuc-
ca and twelve below at Modena,
This was the lowest temperature at
Reno since January 81, 1916.
The total precipitation at Tahoe
was 1.S1 inches and there was a
depth Of rs inches of snow on the
ground. The elevation OF Lake Tahoe
was 6625.sS feet on January 31st.
The depts of snow on the summit
was $50 inches.

the high school teams sof that city.
The girls won by score of 90 to
22, while the boys won by the more
comfortable margin of 81 to 25.
In the girls game the teams were
exceedingly we'll matched and it was
anybody's game until the sound of
the last whistle.
Alex Clock played with the Douglas
team for the first time this season
and in the Virginia game shot "a of
the 81 points. He was given excellent
support by his co-players and with
out 1t this record would have been
impossible. In speaking of the game

defeat to the Comstock players to
too much Clock"

GOVERNOR FILES
STATE BUDGET

According to the budget submitted
by Governor Scrugham to the legis-
iature Friday he estimates that cost
OF State government at 5000, 900 a
year less than the estimates of the
last two years.
The budget was submitted Fri
day and recommends tax of 81 cts.
for 1928 and the same rate for 1924
subdiyided between departments on
the following basis:
Twenty-six and one half cents for
the university, the public schools, the
public service division of the uniyer-
sity and teachers retirement salaries.
Twenty-Five and one half cents for
the general fund. which covers the
legislature. the elected officers. the
boards and commissions. the supreme
court. the prison, asylum, orphans
home, Nevada school of industry. all
deficiencies and general expenses of
the state.
-Four cents for interest and redemp-
tion of State bonds.
Three cents for the highway de-
partment.
One cent for the farm bureau.
One. cent for asylum building con-
struction.
All OF the foregoing rates are based
on proposed total State assessment
of $19O.OoO.oOo. an increase of So
100000, which produces a s per cent
reduction in the taxes to be collect
ed In each of the two years over the
taxes collected in 1922.
The document proposes alterations
In revenue scources as follows:
A gasoline tax Of cents per gal
lon estimated to produce annually
$l25.OO0. for the benefit of the high
way department.
A corporate annual tax estimated
to produce $4,000 each year.
The transfer of the excess collec-
tions for auto licenses from the high
way bond fund to the state highway
bond fund to the state highway fund,
which excess amounts to about 1885,
900 annually.
If the governors recommendations
are adopted, the state will spend In
each Of the years 1923 and 1924 for
the support Of
