BONUS FOR MANY
EX-SERVICE men

There are a large number Of ex-
service men within Douglas county
eligible to receive paid-up insurance
policies as adjusted compensation
under the bill which became a law
Saturday through action of congress
in overriding President Coolidge's
veto.
3,03S,2S3 veterans will be entitled to
the insurance policies provided by
the soldier bonus bill enacted into
law, while 3S9,5S3 will be paid cash
of $50 or less. The bill also provides
for payment to dependents of deceas-
ed veterans of the amount of ad-
justed service compensation to which
they should be entitled.
Adjusted service compensation is
figured on the basis of 81 a day for
home service and s1.25 day for
overseas service. The first so days
cannot be counted. Also maximum
of 500 days would be allowed.
All veterans up to and including
the rank of captain in the army and
marine corps and lieutenant In the
navy are eligible for the bonus.
1t Is estimated that the average in
surance policy would be valued at
1862, while the maximum value of the
policy would be about $1,000 for
overseas service and $1,000 for home
service.
The value of the policy would be
the equivalent of the amount which
the adjusted service credit plus 25
per cent would purchase at regular
Insurance prices figured at per cent
compounded annually. To determine
the latter comput alton a table OF
factors has been compiled by ex-
perts. Multiplication of the proper
factor by the amount of adjusted
compensation due the veteran, plus
25 per cent. would give the face
value of the insurance certificate.
Each certificate, Of course, would
vary, according to the length of serv-
ice of the veteran and his age at the
date of issuance of the policy. The
policies would be dated next January
1st.
Application for the bonus may be
made at any time before January l.
1928, but the cash payments will nct
be distributed until after next March
1st.
Loans may be made on the policies
up to 80 per cent of their current
face value any time after two years
from the date of issuance. Thus on
la $1,000 policy at the end of two
years loan of 1878 could be made.
On this same policy at the end OF
years a loan of sS31.23 would be
possible. The loans may be made at
any national or state bank.
Women who served as yeomen in
the navy and marine corps also were
included in the bill as eligible to
receive its benefits.

Carson Riuer Flow Diminishing
and Commissioner on Job

Belief is expressed this week that
the flow in both the East and West
fork of the Carson river has reached
its highest point and is now gradual
ly diminishing. Snow is rapidly dis
appearing from the higher elevations
and the warm weather during the
past two weeks has caused a heavy
shrinkage of snow in the mountains.
The West Fork is reported to be
low and in order to equally distribute
the water to the farmers and bring
about greater efficiency, H. l..
Layman has been appointed as Water
Commissioner and entered upon his
duties yesterday. The flow of the
East Fork is not yet under the super
vision but will be so placed within
the next week or ten days.
In order to have the storage reser-
yoirs Of the Alpine Land & Reservoir
company filled to the maximum, this
week D. Tholke and Oscar Reefe
went to the reservoirs in the Blue
Lakes watershed to divert every drop
of water possible to the storage
dams. Fritz Danbgerg and F. Fricke
likewise went to Kinney Meadows
on a similar mission.
1t is evident that splendid first
crop of alfalfa will be harvested In
Carson Valley and should the present
warm weather continue cutting will
start considerable earlier than usual.
However, it is evident that during
July and August there will be an
acute water shortage in Carson VAL
ley and the storage water of the Al
pine Land and Reservoir company
will be a life-saver to crops this year.
Summer rains may help some, but
usually rains during harvesting time
do far more damage to hay than
good to growing crops.

the University's First Fifty Years"
While this is the occasion of the
Universitys fiftieth anniversary, it

tion will be hosts to the visiting
Alumni, the seniors and faculty.

py one and word has come that a
delegation of over fifty old grads"
are coming up from the Coast, while
word from many over the State
comes that the "old gang" will be
well represented.
The campus has taken on such a
beautiful appearance that it is worth

the student who has not been in
Reno for a number of years.

MAY CHARGE
FOR FUMIGATION

Wednesday the report was heard
that each automobile coming into Ne
vada from California. must be fumi-
gated at the station established and
maintained by quarantine officials of
this state, says the Carson News. the
order to take effect on June 1st, and
fee of two dollars must be paid for
the fumigation of each car.
The above was given out Wednes-
day following the meeting of DR.. Rec
ords, Nevada quarantine officer with
Governor Scrugham and other state
officials at the capitol, but later the
decision was changed.
The cost of maintaining the thirty
odd stations and paying the salaries
and expenses of the seventy-flve
state police acting as quarantine Off
GERS, is approximately thousand
dollars day. according to state
ments frequently heard. The funds,
available for the hoof and mouth dis
ease quarantine, 1t is understood, are
running low. and the decision to
charge a fumigation fee was consid-
cred in the hope that receipts would
cover maintenance costs.
Before the meeting Wednesday
afternoon one of the officers stated
that an average of one hundred
automobiles per day entering Nevada
from California is reported from the
Searchlight quarantine station alone.
The Nevada station to handle the
California traffic coming through Mo-
no county is to be moved. Under
a cooperative arrangement station
will be maintained at the road lead
ing into Mono county at its boundary
farthermost from the Nevada line,
Mono county and Nevada sharing the
maintenance expense. The same plan
is now being worked jointly by the
state of Nevada and Alpine county.
The effort to make like arrange
ment with 1nyo county has so far
failed, and Nevada officials are reort
as not being hopeful of station-elim-
ination in that section.
A supplemental quarantine procla-
nation, with teeth" is soon to be
announced by Governor Scrugham,
according to report.
The quarantine proclamation now
in force gives the Nevada quarantine
officers the right to fumigate persons
ann property that have been in con-
tact with an infected area in Cali
fornia Investigation of the Washoe
county case a few days ago revealed
that to successfully prosecute a
violator the proclamation proof Of
contact with an infected area is nee
essary. This would be difficult prob
ably in most or all cases, or i'm
possible.

VOTE TO BUY
WATER SYSTEM

The special election held at Min
den Tuesday the citizens of that town
voted Overwhelmingly in favor of
municipal ownership of the water
system. Out of 81 votes cast at the
election, but five were against the
proposed purchase.
The plan calls for issuing bonds
In the sum of $4,000 for the pur-
chase Of the pneumatic water sys-
tenn now owned by the Minden I'M
provement company, headed by H. F.
Dangberg. The plant is modern in
every respect and is a paying propo-
sition. After the bonds have been re-
tired the citizens expect that the
profits over and above the actual ex-
penses Of overation will more than
pay for the street lights and other
expenses of the town.

HIGHWAY COSTS
in THIS STATE

The total expenditure under the
direction of the department of high
ways from its organization in 1917,
to December 1, 1923, was $7701, 5000.
This represents money received from
the government, state and county
bond issue, state and county high
way taxes, automobile and gasoline
taxes and all other sources.
In 1916 there were 1855 motor
vehicles registered in the state. At
the end of 1923 there were 1869, an
increase of 11,014. If the average
value of all vehicles be placed at
$1,000, which is conservative. it will
be seen that over $11.000.000 has
been invested in motor vehicles since
the highway program was inaugu-
rated, and that at the end of the
year more than twice as much had
been invested in automobiles and
TRICKS than in state highways.
During the same period the various
counties have been carrying out a
program of road improvement and
maintenance ON their own account,
the total cost of which has not been
tabulateds However, it may be as
sumed than on the basis of an ex-
penditure by the counties of $441,-
1913 in 1923, the total amount ex-
pended independently by the counties
during the same six-year period was
about $2,6O0,000. Thus, it will be
seen, only about two-thirds of the
value of motor vehicles is use at the
end of 1928 had been expended in
six years for road purposes.
In other words. the people had
spent one-third more as individuals
on motor vehicles than was spent
by them collectively as taxpayers ON
the roads. eliminating the proposition
that more than half of the money
spent on roads was received from the
federal government. The automobile
owners represent about one-fifth of
the population, but inasmuch as prob
ably three people are interested in
the use or enjoyment of each vehicle
a considerable majority of the popu-
lation may be classified as actively
interested in highway Improvement
which means expenditures for high
way improvement.
All of which means that as the
people have taken the motor vehicle
as an institution and necessary
part of their lives, investments in
motor vehicles and improved high
ways must continue to go hand in
hand.

AUTO SMASH ON
CARSON ROAD

Fred Jespersen and VIII Stereka
of this place, had a narrow escape
from serious injury Sunday Afternoon
when Ford car in which they were
riding, threw tire near Cradel-
baughs on the Carson highway and
turned over. Mr.. Jespersen received
numerous bruises about the body
while his companion sustained a cut
on the head and other minor hurts.
The automobile, owned by Mr..
Stereka. was driven by Fred Jesper-
sen at the time of the accident and
was travelling at moderate speed.
The Ford turned over 80 quickly
that the driver did not have time to
fully realize what had happened. He
was rendered unconscious. The car
had turned completely around and
had headed in the opposite direction.
