SEEK UNIFORM
BREAD WEIGHT
Nv United Press, Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, May 23.-Stand-
ardization of bread loaf weights by
state laws with federal statute
regulating weights of bread moving
in interstate commerce, will be
sought ut the seventeenth annual
conference on weights and measures
to be held at the bureau of stand-
ards here next week.
The bureau has taken the lead i'll
the movement because recent deci-
sion holding the Nebraska bread
weight law unconstitutional has
forced revision of laws of 20 states.
Bureau experts will endeavor to
draft new law which will evade
tie court IS objections. All states
then will be urged to enact the law
for the protection of bread con-
sumcrs.

Committee Says They Are
Making Criminals" of
Honest People.

"Over-zealous enforcement Of au.
tomobile parking laws" was criti-
cized last night at a meeting Of
the committee on streets and ave-
nues Of the Washington Board of
Trade.
George c. Shinn, chairman Of the
committee, declared the strict park
ing laws were unnecessary. He
charged that honest men and
women were virtually being turned
into criminals by the action of the
police in keeping a close surveil-
lance upon automobile parking with
in the restricted area.
oliver Metzerott, chairman Of
subcommittee, appointed to find a
remedy for the parking situation,
brought in report calling atten-
ton to the plan of Engineer Com
missioner Bell in which the widen
ing Of downtown streets was advo-
Gated as one remedy. The plan
was approved by the committee.
The committee decided to appoint
a subcommittee to advise the traffic
committee of the existing conditions
and work out jointly suggestions
for immediate remedy. The COM
mittee will be appointed tonight.

BILL APPORTIONINC
$500, 900 FOR SAN
CARLOS DAM PASSES

Acting unanimously, the United
States senate late Thursday afternoon
passed Senator Ralph H. Cameron's
bill appropriating $5,500,000 for the
construction of the San Carlos ir-
rigation project in the Gila river val
ley, according to a telegram receiv-
ed by John R. Towles, register of the
U. S. land office, Phoenix.
"This BILL" Mr.. Towles says, sis
the bill that Senator Ralph H. Cam
eron introduced in the senate on De-
cember IL, 1928, and later had report
ed out of the Indian affairs commit
tee unanimously. The action taken
by the senate in unanimously passing
the bill practically assures its pas
sage by the house before congress
adjourns for the political conventions
early in June.
"It is the greatest thing that con-
gress has done for Arizona since the
passage of the statehood bill" Mr.
Towles said, "and when the house
passes this legislation, and it be-
comes a law, it will mean that hum
dreds of homesteaders and desert land
entrymen will construct homes on
their lands, which they have held for
years looking forward to the con-
struction of this project. 1t will also
mean the development of another
agricultural empire similar to the
Salt river valley for these lands are
equally as fertile as our Salt river
valley lands. 1t will mean the addi-
ton of millions of dollars to the tax
able wealth of our state"
Just to give you an idea of the IN
terest taken by Arizonans in the
progress Of this legislation, MI
Towles stated that thousands of in
ouiries had been received at his officf
during the last few months. Thess
people realize that what the Roose
velt dam did for the Salt river valley
will be more than duplicated by the
San Carlos dam in the sGila valley.
