NEW BUILDING LAW.
 LOST IN SHUTTLE Town Wondering What Has
 Become of Restrictions
 ARMISTICE DAY SUPPER
Legionnaires to Be Entertained By Auxiliary-NIcn's Lyceum to Have Supper Next Month - Census of Children Being Taken.

Residents have begun to wonder what has become of the proposed building commission which was to establish building lines and issue building permits for future construc- tion in Berlin. The need for such action has been widely recognized. and the matter has been turned over to a committee for investigation and a report.
 Through the death of two of the members of tue original committee, the work was held up somewhat and the matter was referred to Judge Benjamin w. filling, lately elected attorney general of the state. The last heard of the issue, was the re- port of First Selectman George B. Carter at the recent town meeting when he said that action had not henr completed and final report was not ready. The first selectman had previously gi out the state ment that the building line propost- ton would be ready for action at the town meeting.
 It is hoped by those interested in the matter that action will not ke held over until the next town meet ing in the fall of 1927. Such delay would mean that the proposed im- movement would have been in the works for disposal for two years.
 As several of the most influential residents in this place are favorinG the adoption of the building line project as well as n majority or the total population of the three dis tricts. it Is thought the a special meeting 10 bring the matter before the voters will be necessary in the near future. or as soon as the com- rittee in charge of Investigating the project obtains a complete report. In spite of the disconraging start of the committee which received two severe blows through the dceth Of Francis Deming and Judge Geof~e W. Klett. it is generally thonsht that the committee in charge has been allowed sufficient length Of time 10 have some report ready for the voters.
 The issue in question deals with the need of establishing building lines, issuing building permits to builders and regulating the type or building in certain localities. The hoard would be self supporting u the permit charges would serve to meet any appropriation needed by the board. The fiction should result in moro syttcmatized building In the town anu would serve both the, ar tistic and sanitary measures which havo been needed in this place for some time.

CLARK SAYS COLORADO
RIVER PROBLEM SHOULD
BE SETTLED PEACEABLY

'aThe affairs of Arizona have
reached a crisis" declares E. S.
Clark. republican nominee for gov
ernor, in letter TO his late opponent
for the nomination, Thomas Mad
dock, in which he outlines the neces-
sity Of Arizona avoiding long litiga-
ton to determine her rights in the
Colorado river, and settling them in
stead by an agreement with Califor-
MIA and Nevada.
IF the rights of Arizona in the
Colorado river are to be preserved" !"
Mr.. Clark says, ''if years of ruinous
litigation are to be avoided; if Ari-
Zona is to receive the benefits to
which she is justly entitled from the
development of the river; they must
come as the result of different
policy than has been pursued here
tofore by the present state admins
tfation. They must come through a
republican senator in congress and a
republican governor in Arizona"
Arizona needs the loyal support of
every citizen, regardless of political
opinion, in handling the Colorado
river situation, Mr.. Clark declares
in the letter which is as follows:
September IA, 1926.
"Mr. Thomas Maddox,
1906 East Mcdowell road,
"Phoenix, Arizona.
"My dear sir:
II have your letter of September

party. l thank you for them. | ac-
-cept them with the same good grace
in which they are rendered.
Il am indebted to you for your
suggestion that / adopt, as means
of enhancing the possibilities of my
election, and of procuring your sup
port, the seven propositions stated in
your letter. | recognize the desira-
bility Of being elected and the value
of your support. Yet | am of the
opinion that other and more vital
motives should determine my CAM
paign policy.
Il do not want to be misunder-
stood. Frankly, / want your sup
port, but / am not willing to sub
scribe to conditions imposed by any
Individual in order to secure it. The
affairs of Arizona have reached a
crisis. The Colorado river, so far
from being saved, is on the verge of
being lost to Arizona. It was the
democratic constitutional convention,
charged with the duty of protecting
Arizona's rights, that accepted with
out objection or request for modifi-
cation that part of Arizona's Enab-
ling Act under which the secretary
of the interior reserved the Colorado
river lands and sites to the United
States. 1t was under a democratic
state administration that Arizona,
without protest, surrendered her
claim to those lands and sites and
selected other lands away from the
river in lieu of them.
"The Swihg-Johnson bill is the an
swer of California, Nevada and the
United States government, to the
unwarranted and unreasoning defi-
ance of the present democratic adj
ministration. If the rights of Ari-
zona in the Colorado river are to be
The Coconino sun., 1926-09-24

preserved; if years of ruinous litiga-
ton are to be avoided; il Arizona is
to receive the benefits to which she
is justly entitled from the develop
ment of the river; they must come
as the result of a different policy
than has been pursued heretofore by
the present state administration.
They must come through a republic
can senator In congress and repub-
lican governor in Arizona. They must
come as the Roosevelt, the Laguna
and the Coolidge developments have
come. Through the recent efforts of
republican United States senator,
the Gila river is being converted
from a menace into a tremendous as
set Of this state. A republican gov
ernor will cooperate with him to
convert the Colorado river into far
greater asset.
''The claims which you request that
/ adopt as the 'irreducible demands
of the state Of Arizona are less than
those | devoutly hope will be secured
for Arizona and its people.
Our concern today is not SO much
WldL We SHAH etoh III 41ItdOIIely Jul
through what right and by virtue of
what power we shall secure our de-
mands.
"It is dangerous for the people Of
Arizona to lose sight of the fact that
in order for Arizona to enforce her
demands they must rest upon some
definite rights. If Arizona ever
stands before the court Of last resort
the Supreme Court of the United
States-to enforce her demands or
protect her rights, boasts and bray-
ado viii avail her nothing. She must
submit to the acid test of law, equity
and inex6rable fact. She can avoid
this hazard, If we avail ourselves Of
an opportunity now open, Of adjust
ing our rights by agreement. I know
this has been often advocated by
you. The principles which you and
have both advocated must in sub
stance be written into such settle
ment. In the consummation of this
plan, SO vital to Arizona, the COVER
nor of this state needs the loyal
support of every citizen, regardless
Of politics. / venture the hope that
if l am elected, you viii not withhold
yours.
''Yours very truly,

to stay home when | get there. No

Jewish Science" "

If you feel the urge for some kind of
Science you may affiliate yourself with
Jewish Science and still remain loyal
10 Judaism. For n time those Jews
who We're interested in Science were
obliged to join the Christian Science
Church. But now, thanks to some of
our earnest brethren with an eye to
progress, the Jew may eat his cake and
have it. So it is with Theosophy.
Our cO-religionists need not feel out of
it with Anna Besant and her newly
discovered vehicle" for the Christ.
For we have Hebrew Theosophy. And
according to the data in my possession
one can be a good Theosophist and a
good Jew at the same time. SO if any
of my readers are inclined to hail
Krishnamutri as brother" they can do
so one hundred per cent theosophically.
What with HGbrew-Christian and
Jewish Scientists, and Hebrew Theoso-
phists, to say nothing of few Jewish
EpiscOpalians, think no one need pine
for lack of variety.

Anti-Semites Numerous
Clauses Law Is Intact

Budapest, Sept. 90. - Anti-Semitic
leaders in Hungary were reassured
yesterday by Count Klebelsberg, Min
lister of Education, with regard to the
numerous clauses.
The Minister published reply to
the memorandum of the anti-Semitic
student Race Purifiers complaining
against the recent notifications of the
numerus clausus law.
1t is not true, the Minister wrote,
that the Hungarian government plans
to set aside the numerus clausus, AS
to the modification providing that the
numerous clauses is not applicable to
baptized Jews, the Minister states
that the faculties will inquire into
each particular case of baptized
Jewish student applying for admis-
sion to the universities, so that the
numerous clauses will not be evaded by
mass baptism of Jewish students.
