ing of the Hoover Dam (Boulder
Dam).
Bids were opened in January for
building a highway and railroad
from Boulder City to the dam site
This will be followed by advertising
for bids, for other construction jobs;
namely, an office building, a dor
mitory and cottages for employees
in Boulder City, and waterworks
and sewerage systems for the city.
Most of this work is expected to
be under construction by April,
1881.
Bids for construction of the Hoov-
er Dam, the power plant, and ap-
purtenant works were opened March
4 Contract for these major fea-
lures will probably be let this
month. It is necessary to empha-
size this to correct the general i'm
preston that a large construction
force is to be organized at once, or
is already at work.
The Department of the Interior
expects to let to private contractors
practically all construction work.
Under this plan, laborers, helpers,
cooks, skilled mechanics, and fore
men will be employed directly by
the contractors and not by the
Government. Ernploylnents in large
numbers will not be made by the
contractors until work on the ma
ior features is well under way. AS
contracts are awarded, the Depart
ment of the Interior will publish IN
newspapers the names and address
es of successful bidders, and appn-
cations for employment may be
made to them.

Such engineers civil, mechanical

as may be employed by the Bureau
of Reclamation, in addition to those
included in it's present force, will
be selected from registers establish
ed by the Civil Service Commission.
Examinations for such positions
will be held as the needs Of the SER
vice require and will be duly an
nounced.
There will probably be no need for
inspectors on construction work un-
til after contract is awarded for
the construction Of the dam.
The erection OF hospital, the
designation Of the necessary ply
sicians, surgeons, nurses, and at
tendants, and other arrangements
looking to the provision of adequate
medical attention for employees will
doubtless be in the hands of the
general contractor, if the work is
done by contract, and such action
is deemed desirable by him.

The People Responsible

Gen. snedley Butler speaking at Raleigh, n. C.,
told his audience one thing that people everywhere
ought to realize when they are tempted to criticize
the men who govern their municipalities. =
"The people themselves said the general, ARE
responsible. There's not police force in existence
that cant clean up town in week when the mayor
orders it. and the mayor will order it when the voters
order him. and then that their orders are carried
out"
This applies generally, to counties, states and
municipalities. Ali the people Of given area have

what the voters want. When citizens permit or ac,

The rest of the champions will

The best the west can offer will

more than their share of laurels.
Southern California, with nine

its title winning performance of

The contest drew the Gardens
biggest crowd of recent years and
the receipts compared favorably
with notable gates for indoor box
ing.
Petrolle, although eliminated
from welterweight title considera-
ton, was far from disgraced in his
test with McLarnin and his game
stand may win him a lightweight
championship bout against Tony
Canzoneri. The Fargo IN. d.
Slugger made a game stand against
a man who is rated as one of the
truly great ringmen of the day and
carried the fight to his heavier OPP
ponent all the way.
The fight lacked the dramatic
quality of the previous Petrolle-Mc-
Larnin encounter last November in
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1931-05-28

which Petrolle gave McLarnin a
sound lacing.
McLarnin held the upper hand
throughout, but he took no chances
against Petrolle's deadly punching
and abandoned his usual role of a
sharp-shooting slugger to win on
boxing skill.
There were no krockdowns, and
few of the thrilling smuggling ex-
changes which featured the previous
bout, but McLarnin punished
Petrolle severely and when the con-
test was over the game little Fargo
IN. d. battler presented a sorry
spectacle.
McLarnin, who weighed 142
against Petrolles 1873, was I'M
marked.
