SOUTH DAKOTA GOVERNOR
WILL CALL LEGISLATURE
Extra Session on July 81 Will Pri'
marily Be for Consideration
of Beer Measure.

BY the Associated Press.
PIERRE, S. Oak, July 15.-Gov. Tom
Berry announced this afternoon that
he will call a special session OF the
State Legislature for July 81. with con-
sideration of beer legislation the prin-
cipal business.
In a letter to lawmakers. the Gov
ernor recently suggested legalizationi
and taxation of beer as method OF
securing funds for relief needs result
ing from drought and grasshoppers
damage. A majority of House and
Senate members replied that they would
vote for beer bill. A move to legallze
the beverage was defeated by a mar
row margin in the Legislature that
Winter.
Sponsors of the special session hope
to pass the measure as non-referrable
emergency revenue act, putting 1t into
effect Immediately. This would require
q two-thirds vote.
In calling the session, Gov. Berry
is depending on Attorney General Wal
ter Conway's recent ruling that al
though the State constitution bars in
toxicating liquors, the Legislature. like
the National Congress, can revise its
definition Of an intoxicant.

DELAY IN ENGINEER
NAMING EXPLAINED
Arlington Board Chairman
Declares Definite Word on
Funds Awaited.
BY Stan Correspondent of The Star.

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE, Va.
July 15.-In answer to numerous
queries as to why the County Board
dses not Immediately employ a sanitary
engineer to prepare for installation Of
the proposed countrywide sewerage sys-
tenn, Chairman Harry A. Fellows de-
clared today that the board does not
believe it would be justified in making
this expense until it learns definitely
whether it can obtain the industrial
recovery funds VIII which to finance
the project. He also answered queries
as to why the business men in the
county have not been consulted about
the matter, with the statement that
they will be called upon for assistance
when the need arises
There are number Of business men
In the county, most of them real es-
tate dealers. who believe the board
should not wait for a commitment from
the Federal Government as to whether
1t can get the funds before obtaining
a capable sanitary engineer to make
definite surveys and estimates of COST
SO that there will be no delay in pro-
ceeding with the work If the financing
is approved and the proposed bond
issue accepted by the voters.
mot Definite Enough"
The tentative estimates prepared in
the office Of County Manager Rov S.
Braden, they claim, are not definite
enough to give the people the proper
knowledge of what the board contem-
plates. and what the actual cost will
be. They also express the opinion that
the Federal authorities may hesitate
to pass upon the matter without the
figures of an expert sanitary engineer.
It Is contended by this group that
valuable time is being lost, and that
every delay in getting the project under
way may mean months in having it
completed.
Has Not Lost Time.
Chairman Fellows declared today
that the board has not lost a minute
and does not intend to do so, but be-
lieves that the matter of the creation
Of sewer department and the employ
ment OF sanitary engineer as its head
Is not one for consideration now. He
pointed to the fact that Braden super
vised the installation of a sewerage
system while he was city manager of
Hopewell. Va, and declared that it
might not be necessary to employ a
high-salaried engineer I'VE are ready
to get assistance for Mr.. Braden when
1t becomes necessary" he said.
Fellows declared that he is now con-
fident the project can be financed by
returning the tax rate to $245 on the
S100 valuation, the same as it was last
year. He also said that the idea of
$40 annual service charge has been
abandoned.

ARLINGTON POWER
MAY Be EXTENDED
Pepco President Said to
Favor Full Service if Plan
Is Profitable.
BY LESTER N. INSKEEP,


| CLARENDON. Va. July 15.-State-
ments by DR.. William Mcclellan. presi-
dent of the Potomac Electric Power Co
of Washington, indicate that the new
service desired by nearly 1000 electric
users in Arlington County will be fur
nished if the company decides that the
extension of its lines would be a profit
able venture, it was announced today
in a statement issued by Chairman Ed
mund D. Campbell and James E. Chinn
of the Arlington County Public Utilities
Commission.
We hope and believe" it was stated
in an announcement Of their confer
ence with the president of the utility,
be extended to all consumers in Airing
ton County who want it."
Careful Consideration"
In accepting the petitions bearing the
names of the persons who would prefer
the service of the Potomac Electric
Power Co. to that of the Virginia Pub
lie Service Co., by which they are now
served. DR.. Mcclellan was reported to
have said the matter would be given
very careful consideration" He is
quoted as having declared that his
company could not definitely announce
mine the electricity needs of the county
and until estimates of the cost of the
proposed extensions have been COM
pleted.
One of the most encouraging indica-
tions, in the minds of the members of
the commission. was a statement at
tributcd to DR.. Mcclellan in which he
said the fact that the Virginia Public
Service Co. is now supplying electric
current to Arlington County would not
prevent the Potomac Electric Power Co.
from entering the field in competition.
In this connection it was pointed out
that the reason earlier efforts had not
been made to secure the service of the
Washington company was because OF a
"gentlemens" agreement which previ-
ously had existed between the two con-
Germs whereby the Potomac Electric
Power Co. would not extend its service
beyond the Rosslyn and Radnor Heights
sections, which are now served through
its subsidiary, the Braddock Light Il
Power Co.
Commitment Desired.
While it had been reported that this
agreement was now void because OF
changes in the ownership of the COM
mon stock of both concerns. advocates
of the proposed new service were anX-
ious to have a definite commitment on
'''f Both % Campbell and thinn, the latter
being the chairman Of the Electric Sub
committee of the commission. were
hearty in their praise Of the Public
Utilities Committee of the Arlington
County Civic Federation for its service
in circulating the petitions throughout
the county. They declared that only
| through the cooperation Of the feder-
alton would it have been possible to
secure the wide expression Of sentiment
that has been obtained through the
| petitions.

Georgia is faced with a deficit, due
from past unpaid appropriations, total
ing approximately 100000. Because
of this debt, which Russell accepted as
an obligation and reduced several mil
lion dollars, the Legislature in 1881 en-
acted into the appropriations bill q

of the budget bureau, full power to
slash appropriations pro rata among all
divisions Of the State government If

Gov. Russell faced the necessity of
invoking this provision during the final

preparations for the entire year IL per

quarter.
Talmadge Is known to favor this pro-
vision and it is probable that it will be
again inserted in the appropriations
bill. Because of the falling of of reve-

Legislature will also find it imperative
to reduce appropriations for the present
