 The city will attempt to find a suitable float Tor the numerous fishing boats in the vicinity, and hopes to establish such float in connection with the government dock, not later than next spring, Brice Howard of the transportd ton committee reported. The lease on the rock dump float expires this winter. and it is believed un feasible by the City Council, MT. Howard said, to renew the lease because only short term contracts could be secured.

VETERANS BOARD
TO MAKE LOANS
ON CERTIFICATES
BY United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, March 10. -
Every application for loans on bon
us certificates will be taken care
of by the veterans bureau, despite
failure of congress to appropriate
funds for that purpose, Director
Frank 7. Hines of the veteran s
bureau, announced TODAY after =
conference with President Coolidge.
Loans on the certificates, Hines
said, would total about $5000,000
a month and the bureau will make
ready that sum by taking $3,000,00O
from premiums Of paid-in insurance
and $2,000,000 from the sale of in
vested government securities.
Hines estimated banks already
have loaned $3O,00O,0O0 to veterans
on their adjusted compensation GER
tificates.
The policy of the bureau will be
to discourage loans as much as pos
sible, Hines said. Unless the bOr-
rover can show an actual need for
the money, the bureau may deny
him a loan, he added.

SLUMP NOTED
IN NEVADA'S
GOLD STRIKE
by United Press Leased Wire

TONOPAH, New. March 10.-Thc
mad rush to Weepah, scene of the
west s latest gold strike, was being
slowly halted today, as the elements
conspired to dishearten 'old timers
and tenderfoot alike.
Snow which began falling last
night had added to the hardships
of the desert "Ghost Town. 81
miles southwest of here, and the
problem of hauling water and food
grows more serious as the number
of claim seekers increases.
A grim atmosphere pervades here
and in Weepah and the gaiety of
the old mining camp days is lack
ing. Whether the "strike' is to be
a rich one or only "duster' con-
tinued to be the mooted question of
the hundreds who gathered in hotels
and rooming houses here at night.
Many of the prospectors are
sleeping in, tents at Weepah to
guard their claims as the result of
indiscriminate stalking that charac-
terized the first mad rush to the
scene of the "strike'.
While the price of food has expe-
rienced little change it is probable,
that as the rush increases, food and
water will be had at a high prem
ium.

Construction Work For
This Year Limited By
Federal Aid Fund.
by United Press Leared Wire

SACRAMENTO, Cal, March 10.
Prospects for future highway
building in California were never
brighter but results cannot be OBJ
tanned until the end of the next
biennium, stated j. P. Baumgartner,
member of the state highway COM
mission, and r. NJ. Morton. the de-
partment's engineer, speaking here
today before the convention of the
county supervisors association.
Baumgartner explained that pres
ent financing plans for highway
work are apparently very good but
that they cannot be put into effect
in time to permit actual construc
tion to start this year.
"'The year 1927 probably will see
fewer new construction projects un-
dcrtaken than has been the case in
any year since construction was
well started under the first bond
issue, more than a decade ago. de-
clared the highway commissioner,
explaining that new work this year
is limited to federal aid income,
which is estimated at about $5,OO0,-
600 for the next biennium.
Baumgartner spoke favorably of
the Breed highway bills now before
the legislature but pointed out that
they cannot be put into effect un-
der 90 days after adjournment of
the legislature and that the only al
lotment that can be collected be-
fore May, 1923, will not exceed $2,-
100000.
Although new construction must
be held down to that which is only
most necessary during the next
biennium, the maintenance and re-
construction program will be the
greatest in the history of the state
declared Baumgartner. His predic-
ton in this respect was based on
Governor Young's budget, carrying
a total of $27, 100000 for these pur-
poses.
eve must not continue to apply
Yesterdays methods in the building
of the roads of today and of the fu-
ture,' stated Morton, who confined
most of his address to advocating
wider state highways.
A 6O-foot right-ofway is insuffic-
lent to carry the increasing state
traffic, the engineer said. I've
have determined that an 80 foot
width right of way is the least
which should be accepted by the
state and, in many cases, a greater
width should be acquired, - he told
the supervisors, urging their coop
Grafton in securing such regulation
at the present session of tn elegisia-
ture.

Heavy Dry Crops Are

Much Moisture.

Los ANGELES, March lO.-Fair

which swept over central and south
ern California from the mountains
to the sea.
In this city the registered precipi.

new high peak for this time of the
year, 81 of an inch bringing the
season s total ralfall to l6.47 inch
cs for the season as compared to
9.7l at this time last year.
The rains yesterday extended as
far south as San Diego. Heavy
snow was reported in the Sierra
Madres and snow capped the nearby
mountain peaks in this vicinity this
morning.
Portcrville, the heart of the cit
rus belt in the San Joaquin valley
received light drenching which
hyfpcd to swell the season s total
40 l0S6; more than twice that of
last year.
Rain in the southern section of
the San Joaquin valley today inter
rupted telephone and telegraph

The orange districts to the south
were also greatly benefited by tn
rain with the precipitation for the

Pasadena received .43, Long

a heavy dry crop will probably
be planted this year as a result of
the moisture in the soil, according
to DIR. George Clements, head of the
agricultural and horticultural de'
partments of the Los Angeles cham
ber of commerce.
According to DIR. Clements at
least twice as much acreage will be
dry cropped this year as last season
and the total may equal that of
1919, when bumper crop was har'
vested from over 100000 acres.
