20 ROUND BOUT
WAS NEVER
CITED ILLEGAL
DISKIN'S STATEMENT WAS
MISINTERPRETED, SAYS
McNAMEE

The proposed twenty-rOund
fight in this city July 4 be-
tween Mickey Walker and Ace
Hudkins can be held without
violation of statute, by the
payment of a S1OO license fee,
nor has Attorney General NJ.
A. Diskin made any statement
to the contrary, according to
Leo A. McNamee of this city,
who communicated yesterday
with the attorney general by
long distance telephone.
With the payment of a $100 IL
cense fee anyone can stage an ex
hibition boxing match up to TWEEN
ty-five rounds, under a statute
passed in 1899 and as amended il
1919, said McNamee.
License Necessary"
The attorney general stated, il
reply to a query from local Legior
members, that the Legion coule
not stage fight of more than ter
rounds without paying the 500 Ii
cense fee. A special act was passed
in 1925 exempting ex-service or
from the fee payment
up to ten rounds.
Planning to Begin
1t is said Tom Kennedy, prom
oter of the Hudkins- Walker match
for the middleweight championship
of the world, has contracted fol

$4,000 by George Burnett, River
side architect
Kennedy is now on the coaSt
pushing plans for the bout, with
matters of finance pretty wei
whipped into shape and everything
"rarin' to CO." it is said.

is COMMENDED

The recent action of the Los An
geles Realty Board in sounding q
warning for the benefit of persons
contemplating investments in GER
tain real estate in Southern Ne
vada is commended by the Nation
al Association Of Real Estate
Boards in q bulletin issued from
headquarters in Chicago this week
as another instance in which the
directors of a local real estate
board have cooperated with state
authorities In the protection Of the
public from Misrepresentation in
regard to real estate projects.
A visit of two Los Angeles board
members, accompanied by a dep
uty real estate commissioner, to
certain tracts near the Boulder
Dam site, was followed by a report
which the Los Angeles board
brought to a close as follows:
"As Misrepresentation casts
discredit on legitimate projects, the
directors urge that all who contem-
plate purchase Of land presumed to
be affected favorably by this river
development, should make a per-
sonal invest:gatio to satisfy them
selves that all statements made re-
garding the offerings can be sub
stantiated."

MOTOR CODE
PASSAGE URGED
BY AUTO CLUB
ASSOCIATION EXPLAINS
PROVISIONS OF NEW
MEASURE

Passage of the motor vehicle
code, introduced in the Nevada
legislature by Senator Getchell OF
Lander county, is favored by the
Nevada Stat Automobile Associa-
ton; according to bulletin issued
by the association this week.
"It covers every phase Of the
registration of motor vehicles, the
licensing of operators and chatf-
feurs, and the rules Of the road.
Should it be passed 1t VIII take
the place of every piece Of motor
vehicle legislation now on the
statute books" says the bulletin
"It gives needful afternoon to the
state, the man who drives, the
pedestrian, the finance company,
the insurance company, and to
society in general"
The bill includes every provision
of the Hoover code. and In addi-
ton those provisions which have
proven so beneficial to our neigh
boring states, California, Arizona
and Idaho, says the bulletin.
''The registration Of cars by the
county assessors Of the state and
which insures the collection Of the
personal property tax on cars has
appealed to all as being productive
of fairness, and Is retained In the
proposed code. with but q slighf
change in the issuance OF the reg
istration and ownership certificates
which are issued solely BY the div
tsion Of motor vehicles which Is set
UP in the highway department
where it properly belongs. Hereto
fore, the highway department has
had to assume the cost of enforce
ment Of the motor vehicle law, and
with no return save an increase In
the amount which might be turned
over to it after the statutory re-
quirements had been met.
This bill is known as Senate Bill
Number 40.
