Long Makes a
Local Record
at Golf Course

After turning III a players card
Sunday showing very consistent
scoring, j. G. Long on Tuesday
made the two rounds of nine holes
each in II and 43 respective
ly, that being a club record for the
golf course.
< Armistice Day saw the links
crowded again, and as it happened
to be ladies' day also, the fair sex
turned up i'll good Numbers to make
a round, and the lunch room was
crowded at the noon hour. The
course was in splendid condition,
better than ever before, and the
Improvement of play in the novices'
class was commented upon.
Next Sunday should be another
red letter day in the annals of Chef
Les Carr, for he promises another
turkey dinner and the program card
for the morning is being marked up

Council Rejects
Bids on Concrete
Water Reservoir
BY TAYLOR
,Conti1 ued from page Al.

(0OnLH4uSu from pdRc ~.
imously, all the bids were rejected
and the deposits ordered returned to
the bidders.
In the consulting engineer IS re-
port on the filtered water reservoir,
after dealing with the difference IN
the bids and the estimate. they go
on to say that the bid of Thomas is
Tor q tank built according to the
patented designs of William S. Hew-
tit, which were not contemplated at
the time the specifications were writ
ten. The specifications were left
open for competitive bidding as to
the design of the roof in order to
take advantage of as much compc-
ttition as possible.
The design of the roof submitted
by Thomas was within the specifi-
cations and satisfactory, he asserts.
The same principles of design used
in the roof were incorporated in an
alternative design for the cylindri-
cal walls fi'the reservoir; and the
engineers Thoughts there, might Ssbe
some question of tho adnhssdbillty
Of this design on purely legal
grounds.
From an engineering standpoint
the engineers declare the Hewitt de-
sign absolutely sound, and would
| produce a better reservoir than is
+; possible under any other design not
covered by patents. The advant-
ages of the principles involved are
not so great for tank of the Hew-
lit design as for many others, but
they do have advantages here, and
if In the opinion of the board and
| the city attorney it was desired to
let the contract to Mr.. Thomas OH
| the Hewitt design, the engineers
said it would be satisfactory from
an engineering standpoint.
10 Reaovertise for Bids
If the council decided it was SAT-
er to adopt different procedure
the engineers suggested rejecting all
bids and readvertising under
amended specifications providing
greater competition, and advertise
for open bids simultaneously with
those for construction of the pump
ing plant building. Contractors could
figure on the two structures at the
same time, and it was stated thare
should be some saving due to hanul-
ing the two bids together that should
Influence the bids.
After the receipt of the erection
drawings for the pumping machin-
cry, the engineers will supply the
necessary details for advertising for
the pumping building as originally
contemplated and for readvertising
for the filtered water reservoir as
now recommended, and they will
amend the plans and specifications
so as to admit the Hewitt design, as
well as the original design modified
to include non patented dome de-
sign.
The board thought the second re-
commendation of the engineers
should be followed, and new bids
viii be called for in accordance with
the report.
Whiting Mead asked for pcrmis-
sion to cut the curb and make q 10
feet wide driveway on either side
of their premises on West Main =
street, and permission was granted
subjecte to the usual approval of
the city engineer.
Bond covering tho Deputy City
Clerk c. G. McCary was received
and approved, and an agreement was
passed for the rental of two lots ut
$l5 per month, such lots TO be used
by the city during the construction
OF the waterworks system.

WEINERT, FOR. Is
YEARS In RING,
DEFEATS BULL"
Victory Proves Wills
Not Such Good
Fighter
By HENRY i. FARRELL,
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent


NEW YORK, Nov. Having
escaped the tin can from the i'm
migration department, Luis Angel
Flrpo, South American heavyweight
champion, can now return home dee
GRATED with wreath of razzberries
and a sackful of dough.
Decisively defeated in a II round
bout in Newark last night by Char.
ley Weinert, a veteran of 13 years
in the ring, Firpo showed that he
is through as star bout fighter.
Firpo was left handed to death
by Weinert and he succeeded in get.
ting a margin in only three of the
twelve rounds
The South American fighter who
had Knocked Dempsey out of the
ring left the ring bleeding from the
nose and mouth, squirting from
eyes pounded almost shut and puff
ing like the Wild Bull of the Pam
pas that he has been called.
Weinert, on the other hand, lidn t
have a mark. He was tired, very
tired, but the spirit of victory
kept him from showing it too much
The worst Weincrt got was a tap
on the nose that drew little blood.
Weinert fought much like he did
II years ago when, he looked like
the coming heavyweight champion.
lie always was boxer and a hitter,
but he would not train. lie was in
condition last night and he received
the best kind of advice from Har-
ry Grob and Mickey Walker, two
world s champions, who were in his
corner. Firpo didn t get any tips
from his corner and he was reel
ing i'll fat and obviously out of
shape.
Weinert S victory proved several
things. 1t showed that Harry Wills
is not the fighter lie claims to be.
Wills, with all his four fighting,
didn t do as much to Firpo as Vein
ert did.

Ready Absorption Held
To Indicate Sound I'm

NEW YORK, April ,12-(By Asso-
ciated ess)-With bond prices last
week following a downward trend in
line with stock market reaction, bond
circles welcomed the ready absorption
of new financing as indicating the
sound underlying position of the in
vestment market. For the fifth week
this year, new bond issues totalled
more than $1OOOO0,000. Despite the
large volume all offerings were quick
As S an a&ual market factor the long
awaited Dawes report exerted little
influence. Prices made feeble response
to its constructive features, universally
praised by Wall street bankers, until
late in the week. when it's acceptance
by the reparations commission i'm
proved the markets tone.
See Delay In German Loan
Suggestions for the flotation of a
$500, 100000 international loan to Ger
many, foreshadowing the sale of per-
haps half the securities in this country,
aroused the greatest interest in invest
ment quarters. International bankers
intimated that the inevitable delays in
putting tn eDawes' plan into execution
might defer offerings of the German
bends until next fall. Original plans
called for the operation early in June,
corresponding to the sale of the Aus
trian loan year ago. 1t the financing
cannot be arranged by that time, bank
ers admitted they would hesitate to
throw it upon the ordinarily dull sum-
mer market.
Meanwhile, continuous operation of
Germany's financial machinery will be
assured by the establishment of an
American credit for the new gold re-
discount bank, which eventually will
be merged with the gold bank proposed
in the Dawes report. Negotiations are
under way for American banks to adj
vance $5,000,000 to help start the sys-
tenn, and if it proves successful addi.
