SCHOOL BOND MONEY!
What Became Of 1t?

The Age has noted some slight opposition to vot-
ing bonds for High School purposes at the election
next Saturday. Not much, but some.
That opposition was voiced in the inquiry What
became of the money voted in 1926? What have
to show for it?
The Age has attempted to find and submit
in a rough way the following accounting which proves
to mind that the funds were we'll and wisely adj
minstered and that received full value for the
money spent. The accounts in detail may be examined
by anyone who will take the trouble to go the Of
flee of the county auditor where all the records of
expenditures, ETC.. kept.
In 1926, $25O,OOO in bonds was voted $4,000
the grammar schools and 5000 900 for high school
improvements
Of the $4,000 Of grammar school bonds, $37 900
sold and $4,000 still remains unsold in the
treasury.
The $37 900 grammar school bonds brought the
following results:
Two new class rooms built New floors and metal
ceilings throughout the old grammar school building;
repairing inside and outside with various smaller
pairs and improvements; necessary furniture and
equipment; putting in lawns and landscaping with
sprnkling system installed; paying for the paving
Fifth street, Fourth street and Brdger street (he
latter two not yet paved but the cost paid for)
If will visualize the conditions of the gram
school property prior to these improvements and
compare it with the present, cannot but believe
that the money was wisely spent and that full value
Of the 100000 bonds voted for high school i'm
provements, $4,000 has been used and $105OOO re-
mains unsold in the treasury.
The $4,000 was expended for the following:
large addition to the high school building; re-
modelling and improving the old buding new base
ment and heating plant; roof old building;
repainting inside and OUT putting in lawns andscap-
ing and sprnkling system; paving Fifth street, pur-
chase OF two whole blocks of ground for new site;
and considerable amount of new furnishings and
equipment including piano.
Quite accomplishment for that amount of
money and that will be better appreciated by
those who make personal inspection of, the i'm
provements "
To criticize without knowledge is easy but it
would be task for most of accomplish as much
as the Board has done with the money.
The Age wishes to see the community move along
safe and conservative lines Nevertheless we can see
no alternative but to meet the present school emer-
gency by voting the bonds asked
To do otherwise can result only in additional ex-
pense and much disruption in schools with the
inevitable harmful reaction the good name of Las
Vegas.
Tentative plans for the proposed high school
building are posted at the polling place in the high
school gymnasium for the information of the voters

GIRL BELIEVED
NOT KIDNAPPED

That the asserted kidnapping
OF Elenore Nicholson from the
Hewetson hospital yesterday morn
ing was not kidnapping at all,
and that she had arranged to have
members of a gang come for her
is the belief of officials who have
been investigating the case.
Elenore Nicholson was in the
hospital with hip broken by a
hit-and-run automobilist March
2st. She is the same party who
was knocked to the sidewalk by
Dick Swartz, local transfer driver,
some time ago during an argument
on Fremont.
SWartZ, who was questioned con-
Cerning her asserted abduction yes
terday, was abSolved of all con-
nection with the kidnapping.
The woman told of being taken
from the hopsital room by a mask
ed man, who threatened her life.
She said he carried her down the
back stairs. and, aided by a negro,
took her to the cabin of Bill Fish
er at First and Bridger.
Investigation today revealed some
new angles on the case, though
Fisher ana Elenore Nicholson both
refuse to talk about the affair.

U. S. STATUS OF
BUZZ QUESTION

That Buzz MCrriSon's status as
an American citizen may be in
doubt, following his release on Am

prisoner of the Mexican rebels for
a week, is intimated in statements
of American conSulars offices after
his landing in the United States.
Morrison, who was captured while
flying a federal plane in Mexico,
waived any right to protection by
his government when he enlisted
aa a Mexican federal aviator, it
was stated in the American con-
sular offices, according TO an Asso-
ciated Press dispatch.
The former Las Vegas flyer was
treated more a. a guest than as a

VEGAS STREET
LAYOUT LAUDED

The layout of Las Vegas streets
impressed l.. MoSbach of Toledo,
Ohio, very favorably, he stated this
morning during a visit at the
Chamber OF Commerce offices. The
City Planning Commission of this
city is to be congratulated on. it's
foresight in laying out it's streets
wide enough now so that the sit
uations of several cities will not
recur here, he said.
In Detroit, for instance. there is
a project for a new rapid transit
under the city. which will cost
$85, 100000, to relieve the terrible
congestion of traffic.
Also, in many eastern cities it
has been necessary to cut through
fronts of buildings and even cut
churches in two to widen streets.
The fact that there are blue skies
to be seen here instead of the
smoky skies of the industrial east,
also had commentator from Mos
bach.

WALKER FIGHTS
FOR NEW TITLE
By CHARLES w. DUNKLEY
ASSOCIATED Press Sports WRITER

CHICAGO, Mar. 26, (R)-Edward
Mickey walker, thet oy bull dog
of the ring, ambitious seeker OF
his third championship, finally gets
his chance to win the worlds light
heavyweight crown. He battles
Tommy Loughran, the titleholder,
here March %.
This btatle between champions
opens Paddy Harmon's new ST.
0OO,000 Chicago stadium, boastfully
pl oclaimed to be larger than
Madison Square Garden"
The stadium will seat 25O0O per-
sons if there are that many willing
to part with prices ranging from
$3.50 to $2160 for the opening
night If 1t is sell cut the gate
may reach $300,000, record break
+ for indoor shows.
If precedent means anything,
Walker, reigning middleweight and
former welterWeight champion, may
as we'll consider himself light
heavyweight champion of the world
right now. Mickey has not had a
decision &c against him in Chicago,
which is possibly better way to
phrase it, than to say that Mickey
has not lost a fight in Chiacgo.
He won the worlds middleweight
title here by cutpointing Deacon
Tiger Flowers. The ruling resulted
in yells of protest heard for weeks.
Last summer Walker grabbed a
close verdict from Ace Hudkins in
& match involving the title.
Loughrans title will be at stake
as they have agreed to make IT'S
pounds. Walker will scale around
ITO. giving MIN the force of his
full fighting energy.
A 10-rounder between Tuffy Grit
fifth and Leo Lomski, recognized
as an outstanding challenger for
the light heavyweight crown. will
back up the title clash.

Four cents Lower

Four cents Lower
".hTe state rate is accordingly
four cents lover than the 68-cent
rate of 1928, and five and one
half cents lower than the sixty
nine and one-half cent rate that
Governor Balzar at the beginning
of the session estimated would be
necessary, says the News.
Much of the reduction in state
tax rate. despite salary increases
voted by the legislature. was made
possible through favorable action
by congress on the Nevada civil
war claim bill. Through redemp-
ton of the $38O,0O0 irredeemable
bond issue with war claim money
the state will be relieved of an
annual interest item of nineteen
thousand dollars. Use of 100000
of the war claim fund in making
repairs on the state buildings will
alAo hold the state tax rate down,
Also, the state treasury deficiency
levy was cut from five to two and
one-half cents. BY leasing the state
building to the city of Reno the
state transfers the cost of upkeep
of the white elephant" to the ad-
vantage of the taxpayers of Nevada
counties other than Washoe."
Governor Signs Bills
Governor Balzar is at work on
the bills passed by the legislature
just adjourned. Among bills he
has approved are the following:
The general appropriation bill
Bills providing salary increases
for capitol janitors and deputies

ing of wells on the state prison
