CRESTON, Iowa, December As
welcome as mama. Fall rains have
ended the water famine, which for
nearly seven months held Creston in
its grip and drove its 10000 residents
to emergency measures unique in
Middle Western history.
The solution to the situation, rap
idly growing to crisis proportions as
water supplies dwindled and towns
people broke into factional quarrels
over the accompanying financial emer-
gency, came unobtrusively in a gentle
week-long rain.
1t was the first sustained rainfall
in the Creston watershed since last
Spring and as the city saw its reservoir
supplies rising once more it declared
a public thanks service in all churches
Sunday.
Individual Bath Seen.
Mayor s. Ray Emerson, happy in
the natural solution, announced jest
ingly that "Creston can now adopt
the slogan of An Individual Bath for
Every Person"
Creston first recognized the serious
ness of drought effects last April
when its twin reservoir lakes, de-
pending solely on surface water for a
normal storage of nearly 100000, 900
gallons, dropped to the lowest levels
in 20 years. Spring rains failed to
arrive and daily water consumption
of nearly 100000 gallons sucked the
lake levels into shallow ponds.
City councilmen and executives of
the privately owned Taxpayers Mu-
nicipal Water Works decided to con-
serve against an emergency by boost
ing the normal charge from IS cents
to s150 per 1000 gallons and ordered
consumption limited.
Families of two were allowed IS
gallons daily for each person, with
1912 gallons each for families of three
and 10 gallons each for families of
four or more.
Watering of parched lawns, wash
ing automobiles and other non-im-
perative water uses were banned by
city ordinance and fines imposed on
those refusing to comply.

Chief Justice Johnston is 86 years

its constitution the prohibition against

NEW YORK, December Women
over 40 weathered the economic de-
preston better than their younger
sisters.
That's the verdict of a survey Of
4,0C0 business and professional women
of New York City published tonight by
the American Woman's Association,
whose president is Miss Anne Morgan,
sister Of the widely known flnancier.
The findings of the survey, conduct
ed under grants from the Carnegie
Corp. of New York and the Daniel
and Florence Guggenheim Founda-
ton, were based on answers 1850
members Of the American Woman's
Association made in reply to a ques-
tionnaire
They covered a flve-year period
from 1929 to 1884. They are founded
on reports from women who work with
their heads rather than their hands.
They may dry few of the tears shed
in recent years over the lot Of the
gray haired white collar woman
worker"
Women over 40 made more money,
lost fewer jobs and remained more
stable during the depression than
their younger sisters, says the report.
According to its figures on the women
surveyed, the salaries of women over
40 average about $500 a year more
than those of younger ones. Fifteen
per cent of those under 40 experienced
unemployment during the flve-year
period, while only per cent of those
over 40 lost their jobs. The older
women kept their jobs more consist
emily, 80 per cent Of them making only
one change Of position during the
surveyed time, while only half the
younger women held to that record.

PITTSBURGH, December 1.-Men
who study the municipal administra-
ton of Americas millions of city
dwellers envision fast approaching
changes in government, which they
believe will provide better systems of
control, reduce taxation and improve
the general economic life Of the
Nation.
Authorities who attended the con-
ference of the Municipal Government
League in Pittsburgh last week were
largely in accord in their view for a
more stabilized" city in regard both
to population and industrial growth.
Harold W. Dodds. president of Prince
ton University. forecast that State Leg
islatures eventually will compel cities
and counties to consolidate and c. K.
Dykstra. city manager of "the model
city" Cincinnati, predicted transfer
Of population and industry from large
cities to those of medium size.
Set Population Seen.
"The United States. like France"
said Dykstra, soon will have stable
population, and no longer can the
vast majority of our cities hope for
any great future of industrial growth" I"
Dodds said increased State and ma
tional control of municipalities was
needed for the sake of better super
vision by the State as we'll as for
financial and administration reasons"
Round table discussions developed
many views of the obstacles of gov
ernment in the eyes of these authori-
ties.
Austin J. Roache. former police
commissioner of Buffalo. N. Y. used
the term Shiny politics" in describ-
ing the chief barrier to efficient opera
ton of the average American police
force. He added:
Politics is the foundation of all
crime"
Approval met proposals to divorce
State. city and national elections and
holding them at separate times in
order to prevent multiple frauds and
confusion of issues.
Political Merging Principle.
Approval was voiced on the principle
of merging functions of small political
units in order to increase efficiency.
Rigid State supervision of local police
was suggested as a step in this di-
rection by Prof. A. r. Hatton of
Northwestern University. Abolition of
the Office of sheriff also was suggested
by Prof. Hatton
Taxation questions occupied broad
spot in the round table discussions.
The opinion current almost generally
among the delegates of this aSsocia-
ton, which claims it has aided every
new form and administration method
of government" adopted in America
in two decades, was that city and
county taxation will grow in the i'm
mediate future.

low that much of the beds became
oyergrown with weeds. and sediment
drawn into the purifcation plant
overtaxed its capacity.
Private residents cleaned and put
into operation long abandoned wells
to augment their rations. and in
frequent showers of rain were caught
IN all types of available receptacles.
Late in June appeal was made to
the Federal Emergency Relief Ad-
ministration. On agreement OF the
water plant owners to forego profits
and assurance the city would seek a
permanent local solution, the ad-
ministration assumed the cost Of rail
shipments of 40 cars Of water daily
from Council Bluffs. 100 miles north
west on the Missouri River
Throughout the Summer the water
shipments continued, with 100000
gallons arriving daily, half for cur
rent restricted consumption and the
rest to replace evaporation from the
lakes as a reserve against flre
emergency.
Belated rains brought Autumn
relief to surrounding towns which,
unlike Creston, had deep wells to rely
on when surface water failed. But
Creston remained the most arid spot
in the State, and city engineers
warned that health was being
menaced.
Restrictions frightened.
Restrictions again were frightened
limiting private dwellers to S gallons
daily. and rates were boosted to Sc
per 900 gallons to finance shipment
of 10 tank cars daily from Council
Bluffs.
Families without access to wells or
cisterns found themselves obligated
to choose between washing the family
clothes and bathing themselves
Communal washings and baths were
not uncommon.
With arrival of the prolonged rains
last week the reservoirs. by then
shrunk to 100000 gallons, rose to
nearly 100000 gallons.
This will last until Spring with
careful use, it was decided, and this
week the city council Cancelled the
5-gallon ration in favor of the
15-gallon daily limit and rates were
returned to sl50.

BALTIMORE, December 1.-Relie1
Of the needy in Maryland from April
1888, to November cost the State and
the Federal Government s28,341 ,236-
of which the State provided approx
mately AZ per cent.
State Controller William S. Gordy
jr., has prepared figures showing the
Federal Government supplied $15,-
724,891 and the State 1924 1854
through October 2. Since then, ST.
1926 has been provided.
OF the total, about S3,230,874 went
for administrative costs. This figure
was derived from a statement from
the Office of Harry L. Hopkins, ma
tional relief administrator, that 11.4
per cent of the Maryland relief ex-
penditures went for administration
Relief authorities in Washington re-
ferred to this percentage as salts

Harry Greenstein, State administra-
tor, said this item had been watched
closely to keep it Ito the minimum"
10 Per Cent on Relief.
Approximately 10 per cent OF
Maryland's 100000 population is
receiving aid from Federal funds ad-
ministered from the State relief Of
fees here, Greenstein estimated.
Families on Maryland relief rolls
we're estimated to be receiving on an
average of $2946 a month-among
he highest amounts paid by any
State relief agency in the country.
Comparative figures from the F. E. r.
A. in Washington show New York
leading in monthly payments, aver
aging $44.7l for each family, with
Maine second at 1862.
An analysis for the total amount
spent through October by Controller
Gordy shows s22,214,966 went to Bal
timore and S3,191,411 for the %
counties. Other agencies under the
direction of the NJ. E. r. A. spent a
total Of $l,602,879.
Relief Cases Increase.
throughout the State 5,232 in
crease in the number of relief cases
was noted at the end of October as
compared with November, 1888. The
total for October, 1884, was Abba;
or November. 1888. 36,652.
Many of the financial provisions for
Maryland relief for next year will de-
pend on the decisions of Governor
elect Harry w. Nice, who is to confer
with Administrator Hopkins when
the former returns from his vacation
in Florida.
Throughout his campaign Nice ex-
pressed desire to cooperate With
Federal authorities.
Shortly before leaving for Florida
he asked Hopkins for an early confer
ence, in view of the fact relief pro-
visions must be incorporated in the
State budget before it is sent to the
Legislature in January.
AS to his plans for next year, State
Administrator Greenstein announced
he was prepared to exphasize public
welfare program.
Maryland" he said, happens to be
one of the few States at the present
time where unemployment relief pro-
grams and public welfare programs
are administered by single State
agency"

SALES TAX TO AID
NEEDY IN GOTHAM
La Guardia Expects to
Raise 40 Million by 2
Per Cent Levy.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December Goth
ans pennies appeared destined today
to provide the lions share of New
York City's relief needs in 1885.
Under the provisions OF a municipal
sales tax approved this week by the
Board of Aldermen and Board of
Estimate, they are expected to iangle
into the citys cof1ers to the tune of
$40 00o, 900 before the next year is
out.
The sales tax. reaping 2 cents on
the dollar, is the principal item in an
unemployment relief program devised
by Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia to
net the city approximately $50, 10000
over the next II months.
Per Cent Supplementary Tax.
Supplementing the per cent sales
tax is tax of per cent on utilities
gross sales. which is designed to bring
in s15,00O,000, and a tax on in
heritances, hoped to be worth SO ,000,-
900 more.
The program Is one Of the most
ambitious revenue-raising measures
for non administrative purposes ever
undertaken by the city. Mayor La
Guardia, though q sales tax foe in
Congress, took full responsibility for
it to appease a balky aldermanic
group reluctant to be saddled with
its political potentialities.
Having spent s75,0o0.000 on relief
already, the city faces an emergency.
For the coming year, minimum ex-
penditure of $5,000,000 a month Is
estimated to meet relief requirements.
The city's administrative budget Of
nearly s60O,O00,OOo has long since
placed demands against conventional
revenue sources.
La Guardia Defies Foes.
In his plea for passage before the
aldermanic branch of municipal
legislature, Mayor La Guardia bluntly
defied his foes to make political capi-
tai out of the sales tax provisions,
declaring an emergency existed that
demanded immediate attention.
References to the political angles
have had much of their source in
strong agitation for a transit tax.
In the minds of many municipal
economists, this presented a fertile
field of taxation. Merchants called
for 2-cent transit tax without
subservience to a political fetish like
the Scent fare"
At the present time New York City,
with the lone exception of San Fran
cisco, is the only city in the United
States with a scent transit fare.
New Yorks privately operated sub
ways return a revenue of approx
mately sl5O,0OO,O0O a year, without
figuring in the return OF other
branches of the city's transportation
system.
Under the sales tax, only the neces-
sities-food, drugs and medicines (by
