BOARD TO ASK
$1,OSO,OOO FOR
FLOOD CONTROL
Program Calls for Widen
ing, Dredging White River;
Contracts Upheld.

City council probably will be
asked for 81 100000 bond issue for
the flood prevention program of
the board of works at the next
council session.
John w. Hoffman, city corpora
ton counsel, has advised the works
board that the White River widen
ing and dredging contract and the
Morris st. bridge agreement let by
the Duvall board of works appear
to be legal. Oren S. Hack, works
board president, said the board is
awaiting a written opinion on the
legality of the Duvall contracts,
National Concrete Company vas
awarded a $4,000 contract to re-
model Morris st. bridge over White
River in May, 1927, when the board
was composed Of Virgil Vandagrifft,
Frank Cones and John w. Friday.
Custer Delayed Contract
Ousting of former Mayor John L.
Duvall and election of Slack who
named a new board of works de-
layed the execution of the contract.
There has been considerable OBJ
lection to the National Concrete
Company and which provides for
lengthening the bridge at its present
width. Some engineers feel chat the
present width will be sufficient to
handle traffic for ten or twenty
years.
Charles Jefferson was awarded a
contract for S497,000 for widening
and dredging of the river between
Morris and Raymond st. Judg-
ments of $225,000 to the Granite
Sand and Gravel Company and
100000 to billing & Co. foreground
acquired for the widening project
will be included in the bond issue,
it is said.
Bond Sale Unlikely
1t is likely that the city will be
unable to sell bonds because Of the
litigation against Stacks title to
Office.
Work on the Belt railroad Sl2,-
100000 south side elevation project
is being delayed until work is be-
gun on the flood prevention pTo-
gram. The railroad agreed to start
work thirty days after work is
started and finish in ten years.

BALKANS RECOVER
 FROM WAR WOUNDS
Mrs. Kitchelt Addresses Lions on
 Conditions in Europe

An interesting talk about the League of Nations and countries in Europe was given by Mrs. F. L. c. kitchelt. executive director of the League of Nations Non- Partisan As- sociation. at the regular luncheon meeting of the Lions club. at the Burritt hotel this noon.
 Mrs kitchelt was introduced 10 the members by Harry C. Brown, president of The club. and pro- ceeded to outline some of the experi- ences she had while in Europe. Among other things, she said that modern Turkey is adapting herself to western civilization as quickly as could be expected of any far eastern nation. Bulgaria is making great strides toward regaining her former power among the Balkan states, and the minorities are given a fair and square deal. whereas in the neighbor- ing state of Jugo Slavia the question of minorities is a close issue and the result she said is dessension among the people. The people of Hungary are very much dissatisfied with the small territory granted them by the Treaty of Versailles and there is no great flare for democracy. Although the country has no king. Its tendencies are towards monarchy.
 Austria is very much divided country. and while Vienna is gov erned by socialists, the rural dis tricts are strongly conservative and the question of minorities is also a close issue. Czecho-Slovakia is about the most advanced and democratic country of all of the new states of Europe. ably governed and making great strides toward becoming power to be looked up to.
 Speaking of the League of Ma tions, Mrs. Mitchell said that it is an imposing sight to see the members composed of 65 nations grouped to- gether. discussing matters of mutual interest The league provides m open forum for the world wherein all troubles arc aired in most courteous and thorough manner. she said. Mrs. Mitchell expressed her hope that the United States would soon realize the great need of the league and join.
 During the luncheon, eight boys from the Junior High school were introduced to the members and rem dered two songs under the direction of Miss Doris Bradley.
 The question of helping the Unit ed Community Chest Drive was brought up by Pr >ident Brown. and after . wide discussion it was de- cided that each member contribute his services individually. but the club as a whole would not take part.
