Debate Soft Water Rate
Boost at Council Meeting
EXAMPLE SCHEDULE
OF COSTS OBJECTED
TO BY SANDERS

The Softening question is a
hard one, it appeared at a special
meeting of the city council Tues
day night.
Councilman and promoters of
the city water Softening project
didn't seem to get anywhere with
their discussion and Theo. A
Gandrud, an onlooker who was
there to learn what he could, was
the only person who appeared to
be enjoying the session.
Its educational he said. And
it was. But nothing could be
learned of just what the status of
the question was, as the session
ended.
Leon H. Brown, city attorney,
read an article on the councils
view of the water Softening pro-
ject. Parker D. Sanders, a soft
tening enthusiast, objected to its
publication on the grounds, that
mot all of the facts were put on
the table"
Mayor J. F. KnudSon and AID
L. ~. Nlldl lSDOlS "SlS dU-
sent and Councilmen ]. c. Budik
and George Huhnerkoch had to
leave before the discussion closed,
SO no action was taken. Whether
or not the councils views will be
published later has not been de-
cided.
1T must be generally conceded
that softening will result in a
substantial increase of water
rates. was the main point of the
article.
1t argued that gross revenue of
the water department is $4,000
a year. That the increase of act
ual operating costs incurred by a
Softening plant would be $4,000
a year, which doesn't include de-
probation, interest or reserve
funds.
In order for the water depart
ment to make some profit, they
argue the costs of softening must
be raised through water revenues
and the question as to how to
distribute costs among users is
the most difficult one involved.
1t was pointed out that the three
Redwood Falls creameries and
the school use as much water as
approximately 500 householders
Mr.. Brown explains how the
figures were arrived at.
actual Softening costs are 81
cents per thousand gallons, &C
cording to engineers estimates.
This includes SIS cents for chemi-
Gals and 5 cent for additional
power, needed in pumping.
Last year we pumped so mil
lion gallons of water. Softening
of that amount would have cost
$4,000. The fixed operating over
head for softening 100 million
gallons is two cents per thousand.
This cost remains constant, con-
tanning items such as labor and
heat. Therefore it would cost us
four cents per thousand gallons
for the amount we pump.
Mr.. Sanders and DR.. T. E. Finn
argued that the rate structure
presented was an arbitrary one

Dukes mixture ends today.
Come sundown, and the Blue
Devils of Durham will have made
their final appearance before the
public until thy run out on the
Rose Bowl turf on January 2. Be
cause tomorrow the Dukes begin
the secret practices that Coach
Wallace Wade has ordered, and
they will be as private as the
thoughts of a clam, or a hermtt's
unbath..
No pictures. No poses. No re-
porters. No notebooks. Burly
guards have been assigned to all
gates and given orders to bounce
anyone with even an ounce OF
peeping Tom or caves -dropper
blood in his veins.
Before the workouts begin Wade
personally will beat the bushes and
trees that shut Brookside park
from the outside world, and his as
sistants will strafe any airplanes,
balloons. or gliders that swoop too
low.
Wade wants peace for his team,
and is going to get it at any cost.

Wade made it clear to me that
he didn't expect TO teach his team
any new and startling plays while
they worked in their secluded rem

BOWS TO POWER
IN nth PERIOD

BERKELEY. Calf, Dec. 81. CUpp
The "Ramblin' Wrecks" from
Georgia Tech nursed their bruises
today and prepared to head tor
home after running into fourth
quarter disaster in their intersec-
tional game with the University OF
California. The final score was 13
o.
After holding the Bears Scoreless
for three periods the Georgians fell
victims to the smashing power OF
Vic Bottari, star left halfback
named on most All-America teams
this year, and Louie Smith, his run
ming mate.
Playing his last game for CAL
ifornia, Bottari opened up in the
fourth quarter. In three line plays
he took the ball from CALIFORNIA; S
40 to Techs %. Smith went 20
yards over tackle. In four straight
punches, Bottari went over leap
ing over a pile of players Tor the
last two yards. His attempted
drop kick for the extra point was
blocked.
Smith scored the second touch
down short while later at the end
of a sc yard march. He banged in
to the line from the eight yard
stripe and fell into the end zone.
The visitors were most effective
in the third period. Their razzle
dazzle took the ball to California S
"a, but no further

coach, was generous in his praise
of the work of Bottari and Smith
after the game. With their pow

The Hogue twins, Shorty ana
Biaboy. are ole enough to fight
amateur now because on December
26. 1898, the middleweight and wei
terweight champions OF the lar Wesl
became 18 years OF age.
There are more than dozen
Golden Glove tournament fighters
who believed that the twins were
old enough to fight amateur laS'
month when the Jacunbans smash
ed their way to boxing champion
ships of the far west.
Set Down
But until Monday the twins were
fighting on borrowed time. IheH
were set down one year ago be-
cause the commission found thai
the twins were only II years OF
age. or less. Only this summer
could they convince athletic Off
cials they were 18 years old. Luck
ily for the twins they were born
in a small town in Oklahoma and
a birth certificate could not be
shown to prove they weren't more
than II years.
At 18 years the twins anticipate
g. brilliant future in boxing or in
the movies. Their shoWings in the
amateur tournament have demon
strated they might be outstanding
in either or both.
If the twins can emerge Vlctorl-
Gus in the national Tournaments on
January 81, they are almost certain
to get a movie contract and an Of
fer to turn professional.
Movies The Best
A movie offer would be the best
course to choose because it is much
better TO memorize lines to draw
down sums of money, than TO take
a punching in the face.
The twins are somewhat in favor
of entering the screen profession
themselves, especially when they
found that there were amateur
fighters who could land solidly on
their respective chins.
In the event the twins choose
the fighting profession. and there
is every reason to believe they can
be successful. this corner would ad-
wise a competent manager.
No boxer. no matter how adept.
has ever risen to the top without
a good manager Granting that
the twins are as good as any anna

Golden Glove
FinaIisfs Meet
Twins Thursday

Golden glove victories Will be
forgotten for one hour at the CAL
exico athletic club Thursday night
because the Hogue twins. Shorty
and Bigboy. will take turns de-
Tending their records against Sam
my Nero and Art Gonzalez in
their farewell valley appearance.
Records mean nothing to San
DiegoS two amateur fighters who
will furnish the opposition for ia
cimbans fighting machines. Bigboy
and Shorty defeated Gonzalez and
Nero in the finals of the welter-
weight and middleweight divisions
of the Southern California cham
pionships. but the coast boxers are
confident the twins can be beaten.
Gonzalez is a light puncher but
he is a good boxer and presents a
difficult target with his weaving
and lodging tactics. Bigboy. how
ever. has never been seriously both
cred by weaving style.
Nero is perhaps the toughest bat
tier Shorty met. He has wicked
left hand and can hit hard enough
to soften chins with his right. He
was unable to hit Shorty in the
amateur tournament but his man
ager announced Tuesday that. Nero
has developed a style of fighting
which will send Shorty to defeat
Hogue supporters pointed out,
however, that the twins are always
tougher the second time out.
Five other bouts Will furnish
preliminary action. according to
