Seeks Mayorolty On
Economy Platform,

Harry j. Karns seeks reelection
to the office of mayor on plat
form of progressive economy.
In announcing his candidacy,
Mayor Karns calls attention to the
large number of permanent i'm
provements made during his adj
ministration, notably paving, the
improvement of the sewerage and
drainage system, the ornamental
street lighting system and the gen.
eral able and efficient administra-
tion of the citys affairs.
These improvements were made
in the best possible manner and at
the lowest possible cost as will be
proven by the fact that the TAX
RATE IN NOGALES is NEXT TO
THE LOWEST OF ANY CITY IN
THE STATE OF ARIZONA.
The Nogales tax rate is only 1.016
per $4,000 of assessed valuation
and the City of Mesa with a rate of
SO cents is the only city in Arizona
having a lower rate than Nogales.
Mayor Karns believes in adding
improvements as they are needed
but only as they are needed, with
the strictest economy and the tax
rate always in mind.
That he has been successful in all
of these undertakings is known to
every resident of the city. Mayor
Karns realizes that the Mayor of
Nogales is public servant and
states that his only aim as the May
or is to serve the people of Nogales
as best he can, treating all classes
alike without fear or favor and
without regard to partisanship or
politics.

IN THIRD GAME
BY II. ALLEN SMITH
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK. Dec. Il. U.P) - The
post mortem boys passed up sleep
and even breakfast today to null
and fuss over the results of last
nights session in the Culbertson-
Lenz contract bridge battle-a ses-
sion replete with quibbling, quarrel
ing. and the plain garden variety
Of back talk.
If it's possible for a half dozen
rubbers of bridge to be thrilling.
then last nights affair was pre-
cisely that through six hours Of
play, until Ely Culbertson. on the
last hand of the final rubber. made
the company'S eyes pop out with
the most spectacular hand of the
match.
Sidney Lenz and Oswald Jacoby
practitioners of the official, or 1913
system of bidding. had been plug
ging along. holding their Slight
lead over Ely and Josephine Cul-
bertson. Then, like a bolt out Of
the blue, Ely bid spades, with only
four trumps to the nine, for game
and two over tricks. slashing 700
points off the Lenz lead and cap
turing the evenings honors for him
self and wife by the lean margin OF
200 points. Lenz and Jacoby stand
now 1915 points ahead.
The sQuabbling, chiefly between
Lenz and Culbertson, had its origin
in Lenz's protest that Culbertson
was delaying the game
Hes not been on time any one
of the three sessions" Lenz said.
Since $50 rubbers have to be play
ed, an extra session has been order
ed for Saturday night at I. They
will play at 7 tomorrow night as
scheduled, and again Monday and
Tuesday.
Hes been sitting there" Lenz
declared OF Culbertson, "for 10 min
utes without moving--acting like he
was studying, when it's plain there's
only one play he can make"
Culbertson, match for LenZ on
repartee. promptly offered to let his
foe play my hand if you want to-"
You can't make a protest in the
middle of a hand when a mans
playing his cards he snapped. Its
just like letting out a yell at a
golfer just as he starts to swing. 7
ask the referees to please make this
man stop breaking in on me like
this
Only two hands earlier Lenz had
made another protest, charging
that Culbertson was not following
the approach-forcing system in his
bidding, as laid down in his writ
