all morning, and he told me all about
the war, and I've already telegraphed
to Troy for accommodations for the

But this wasn't at Troy, New
York, objected the assistant. Troy,
New York is where the fellers with
the swell collars come from. THIS Troy
in the Had was busted up by the
Greeks in the big war, and now it's
being dug out OF pile OF ruins You
can't send no company over there be-
cause there wouldn't be no setting for

do it."
Nothing doing. I got all the dope.
We can do it right here IN Holly

WASHINGTON lP--The battle cry
has been sounded again in congress
on legislation to dam the Colorado
river at Boulder canyon to contS1l
floods, to irrigate arid land and to
develop water power from the third
largest river system in the United
States.
From regional issue affecting the
seven states in the Colorado BASIN

the question has Become one OF ma
tional interest, and measures looking
to it's settlement are likely to follow
the major issues OF farm relief,
appropriations and flood control into
the congressional spotlight.
Two measures providing Tor con-
struction OF a dam in Boulder canyon
are before congress. Senator Hiram
johnson, republican, California, has
offered in The senate and Rep. Philip
ID. Swing, republican, California in
the house Dill slightly revised from
that offered by Johnson at Inc last
session and caught IL the flllbuster.
Senator Phipps, republican, Colorado,
fathers the other measure.
Both call for construction at
Boulder canyon of q dam costing
$125, 100000, big enough to store
100000 acre feet OF water, to be
used for irrigation and for control
of floods in the lower basin, par
ticrlarly in the Imperial valley OF
California.
They differ, however, IN the method
proposed for dlsposlng OF the power
which would be produced by q Pre-
jected hydro electric plant at Boulder
dam, which would yield an estimated
$4,000 horsepower.

with the 72O car capacity OF the new

duction facilities for building 1900
cars per day.

demands of the expanding Oakland

its power plant at a cost of $210,0OO.

ternal revenue receipts in Connect

figures OF $50 4.l39.76 represent
less than one-half of one per cent
increase over the S36,1 i 0, 447,SS col
lected in 1927.
This slight gain, however, is con-
trasted with a three per cent decline
for the country as a whole, for the
$3.50, 535, 537.6S collected over the
country is s75,147,592.2 less than
the sum in 1927.
There were various slashes in
rates to account for the decline,
aside from the refunding Of $142.-
333,567.17 worth of taxes illegally
collected. Most of this refunding
was for leyies collected in 1928 and
prior years. but S9.666.7S was for
