SAYS BELYIDERE FLOOD
 CANNOT HAPPEN AGAIN
supt. OBrien Reports Making Im- provement to Carry on Extra
 Burden of Water.

Flood conditions in the Belvidere section of the city. which resulted in claims against the city for several thousa nds of dollars following the storm of February z, cannot recur. Supt. Michael P. O'Brien of the sewer department feels certain, due to the fact that the conditions which caused the damage have been reme- died this week.
 The department of public works investigated on the day following the flood and reports that 1t traced the difficulty to a poorly constructed private storm water sewer system, west of Commonwealth avenue. The sewer did not allow of 8 free flow of the water, causing the stream to back up over the property of Joseph Fitzgerald When the impounded waters broke loose and raced over Commonwealth avenue and the sur rounding streets, the city mains were unable to stand the strain, and the damage resulted, the department claims.
 A corrugated iron culvert has now been installed and concrete wing walls constructed in the area where the failure happened. Supt. O'Brien explains. This, in his opinion, will protect the district against further flood damage.
 The 4S-inch culyert in the rear of the kilbourne property which was found upturned several feet on the morning after the storm. did not contribute to the flood. it is claimed.

CLAIMS STARVATION
 FROM PAYING TAX
NeVin6ton Nan Tells Court He
 Served in Army

Newington, March = In town court last night Joseph Norkin en- tered a plea of not guilty to the charge of failure to pay his personal tax.
 Collector Proudman testified that notices were sent by mall on Novem- Der IS. 1923. and February IS, 1929. Norkin admitted receiving the mo- tices but stated that he had served in the army during the war and considered himself exempt.
 Norkin stated that his discharge papers were lost or mislaid and he had made application for a dupli- cates but had not received them.
 According 10 law discharge papers must be recorded with the town clerk in order to secure exemption of personal tax and also for exemp- tion on Sl,000 on assessment of pro- perty.
 Judge Barrows ruled that while Norkin admitted receiving the tax notices he also neglected to produce his discharge papers or to notify the tax collector that he would be e1- empt and that under the circum- stances there was nothing he could do but order the tax of $3.00 and also the costs of the court paid.
 Ten or 1c more writs were served Thursday night and today and more cases of failure to pay personal taxes will be in court Saturday night.

A REAL WANT AID

Here is a real want ad from an

Republican: Wanted We want
to hire a girl or woman to take
care of Jim and Bob, and do some
house work while she is resting.
These kids are three and five
years old respectively. They are
as timber as wild cats and as cum
ming as a fox. They both believe
in a democratic form of govern
ment, that is of the kids, by the
kids, and for the kids. They
have smashed everything they can
get hold of including the Ten Com
mandments. To make matters
worse they have a loving grand
ma and a very indulgent grandpa.
If some woman with a normal
mind, a loving heart and a strong
right arm will take this job, we
will pay her well. 1t would be a
splendid job for a fat woman who
wishes to reduce"

Williston Girl Has
Made Flying Record

Williston, N. D.-Miss Edna
Coulter of Wilson has made a
record at Long Beach, Calf, by
learning to fly alone after only
twelve lessons, totaling four and
one-half hours in the air.
Miss Coulter's first solo flight
was considered to be possibly a
lucky accident in her perfect take
off and maneuvers but on two
succeeding days she repeated her
achievement many times, estab-
fishing her ability as an aviator.
In a statement to the press her
instructor declared that Miss Coul-
ter's natural sense of flying and
ureness of control excelled any
thing of that sort he had ever
encountered.
Miss Coulter has taught school
for ten years but has cherished an
ambition to learn flying. She will
return to Williston at the end of
her lessons and take up com
mercial flying.
